We've used three remedies and a saline rinse to kick my husband's head cold.
Not for the faint of taste buds, but extremely effective, if you do it about 3 time a day, every day until you feel better.
If you're starting from scratch, count on a bill of about $15-$20 at the health food store, $30 if you pick up some elderberry syrup for immunity, too . Worth it.
1) Drink about 2Tbsp UNFILTERED apple cider vinegar in some water or green tea (sends a shiver up your spine!)
2) follow with a spoonful of RAW honey (palate cleanser?)
3) Sip on some hot tomato tea: heat tomato juice, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne (we ran out, so we used up the end of a jar of sambal olek, thai chili-garlic paste. yum.), pureed or chopped and mixed in a bit of H2O sprinkled with celery salt for flavor.
We don't have a neti pot - he just uses salt water and the baby's plastic bulb syringe in the shower
