Home Remedies
A cold remedy that really works!

 At first sign of an oncoming cold, try this home remedy:

Kick-a-Joy Germ Juice

1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 lemon juiced
1 Tbsp. fresh grated ginger
Honey to taste
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Mix ingredients, heat up and drink hot. Then go to bed and get some rest. You may notice yourself breaking a sweat. This is good!

Chinese herbal remedies that you can buy at Chinese herbal shops that you can use for colds are:

  • Yin Qiao (beginning stages of colds)
  • Gan Mao Ling (beginning stages of colds)
  • Zhong Gan Ling (good for colds with a sore throat)
  • Luoquat and Fritillaria Syrup (for cough)

The sooner you begin taking something, the quicker you will feel better!
