AirBorne is my go-to when feeling a cold coming on, and as a preventive when traveling. Note, I haven’t received payment from the manufacturer and this doesn’t imply medical evidence supporting its efficacy,

When I’m starting to get that “uh-oh” feeling, it’s time for Maryland crab soup. Spicy and hot, full of vegetables. I feel better already.

Chamomile and honey. This is what I was raised on! Family in Greece would ship us fresh chamomile every year. When my sisters and I were sick, we would brew this tea and add honey. If chamomile could be made into an intravenous solution, I would even suggest it for our patients (post FDA approval)!

For me if I feel I am catching a cold, it is time for a mug of hot ginger tea! Ginger + lemon + honey. Apart from being a good natural remedy, it is also delicious & gives you a fresh breath!
