Prompt: Best Home Remedy for the Common Cold
Okay, so bear with me because this one is complicated. What you're going to need is:
- A tea infuser
- Two cups of boiling water
- A teaspoon of cinnamon -- real cinnamon, not what commonly passes for it in America
- Ginger root, sliced thin
- Wildflower honey, gathered locally
- A shot of good Irish whiskey
- A strupe waffle
- Two grapes
- Two teaspoons of ground chilies -- chipotles are best for this
- A slice of lemon
Got all that? Okay, good. Now you're ready for the actual recipe, which is this:
Leave it all on the countertop, safely out of reach of pets and/or impressionable children, and go to bed.
You need sleep. Sleep is the best home remedy for the common cold.
Sleep.
Yup sleep is probably the most natural remedy there is for illness. It's what helps our body repair itself.
