In my country (Switzerland) we don't really have Home Remedies, it's easier
to go to the Doctor, you have one for each square mile and your insurance pays for his services. Although I remember when I was younger and I caught a cold that my mother used to make me a hot tea with whisky and lemon which I had to drink in the morning and at night before I went to bed. I think that it is really a nice remedy because after two or three days I was healthy and felt very well. |

Gee I don't know. I am 4 days into this cold (mostly runny nose) and the Irish waitress said I ll make you a whiskey drink which will cure you. There was whisky (something I have never tasted before), a lemon slice studded with cloves and I don't know what else and I swear I feel all better. Admittedly I was on the road to recovery but really think this helped. |

I think that your mother had really good remedy. I am not ill often but as I am with a cold I am ill long time. When I found out about your remedy I decided to try that. This wasn't tasty for me ( I don't like whisky)but I was surprised because after three days I felt much better. I recommended your remeny other my friends. |

I also heard this one from an Irish friend, a while ago. I did not find cloves at that moment but I replaced it with cinnamon that has also warm effect. Mixed tea, lemon peel (so only the yellow part), cinnamon stick, honey and whisky. I drank this in the evening and the next day after lunch. I drank also a lot of water and kept myself warm, and I felt really good afterwards. |
