When I have an upset stomach I always drink a kind of ginger ale bottled locally, usually works. If that's not available, Sprite works too.

For a sinus infection, I take lots of Advil CS. Usually that helps me function enough to get through the day. The last time I saw my doctor she said that a neti pot can actually irritate the lining of your nose so to only use it once a week when sick so I've been doing that rather than using it twice a day. Acupuncture can also help alleviate sinus pressure.

You should try Lemon and Ginger tea.

Vernors

We used have that down in Missouri too (before the only store in town that sold it got bought out). Stuffs great.

Family remedy for headaches:

If you have a cold, the flu, a sore throat, chest infection or any other kind of lurgy, use this recipe:

*1-2 shots of good quality whiskey
*Roughly 250ml boiled water
*1-2 teaspoons of honey or sugar, honey is better for the throat but I hate the taste
*Juice of half a lemon

Mix them all together and drink. Repeat 3-5+ times, it will help you sleep until you are either no longer sick or just too drunk to care.

1. Say your prayers

[Cosmug]

My uncles “hot- up” recipe:
-tablespoon of honey, unfiltered if possible
-two cups water
-splash of apple cider vinegar
-fresh cut ginger medallions about 2-3
Warm in a saucepan and stir. Opens up sinuses and clears throats.
He’d sometimes pour it into a mug with a teabag too if it was early and he needed caffeine. That adds a diuretic property to it and can help blood flow. Very basic.

I love ginger as a cure for anything stomach-related. I always have ginger tea and various ginger candies around the house just cause. I also eat ginger candies if I'm feeling nervous. My stomach sometimes gets unsettled if I'm anxious so I would just eat a candy to help calm it, and now I associate the ginger as a calming thing.

I find that ice tea mixed with lemonade (called an Arnold Palmer, at least around here) is good for when you just feel "bad" without any specific symptoms.

When ever I feel a cold coming on I drink a gallon of OJ and switch to menthols or cloves. The OJ gives you a massive does of vitamin C and the acid kills a lot of germs living in your throat. The menthols/cloves provide an analgesic to reduce coughing. People laugh at me but it works, you can sub in an entire bag of Davids sunflower seeds for most throat problems since the salt content will kill off anything living in your throat and your ability to taste.
If I begin to feel feverish I'll do a crazy intense workout to bring up my core temp and then take a 3 hour nap. It doesn't work every time but I usually wake up feeling much better.

If you're unsure wether or not you're dreaming, look at the face of a digital clock or flip the nearest light switch several times.

The best cure for a cold/flu comes from a officer (british) during the Boer war. Draw a dot on your tent wall, drink port (I prefer ruby) until you you see 2 dots, sleep until morning.
