Hey there, actually, what works for one usually does not for the other. A constant cold is a worry and I suspect it is linked to pollution (or the naughty neighbouring g*ssipy *****? *wink wink*). Or mould.
Saw a small clip out of an old home remedies book on flickr but unable to find it.....I think its more temp relief: (from memory) it said, boil water, w/salt, annis seed/annis oil and 5 drops of iodine. Inhale. Quick relief. One has grown not to trust the medic&l practiti*ners ever so ready with their prescriptions (here and in particular, kanada). Mind you, there are the old world d*ctors who 'cared' they are increasingly hard to come by. Ah, since you mentioned you were returning back to the kanada....to keep healthy, stay away from the super-market milk, milk products (unless organic), bread/wheat products, meats.... The Fud inspection agency there has utter disregard for the health of its citizenry (my view) and the stats speak for themselves. *mind you, some numb-nut will write back challenging this, but never mind*. Forget the stats for a minute.....look around (in kanada) and the old herbalists are now back in business and its the belief of alternative communities that there is after all cures in nature. Please note, when and if you visit a herbalist, do buy herbs that are kanadian grown...not imported. The imports are nuk%d, which the poets and dreamers think have lost their curative properties. Herbs are a slow and long term curative effects and a welcome alternative is oils. The growing mid-eastern communities in kanada have brought with them merchants who sells oils that are used as food, cosmetic and medical/preventive use. Did you know that the only place clean (no pesticide) regular olive oil comes from Morocco or Algeria? Did you know what the second largest export after fur from Kanada in the old days was?...likely still is....wild ginseng...had a moratorium till recently on its harvesting. The kanadian "Quebec wild" variety is sought after....for good luck, good health etc. On a side note....there is an Indian doktor Shah (not sure he is a nature cure or the garden variety-alopath) who passed away in Goa (a few years ago). The late Drs & Dr. Shah's message was that modern meds don't cure...rather provide relief (or something to that effect). They said that once ones body ingests over-the-counter variety meds, ones body is (to use a Concani term) 'bostolem'. Contaminated or gone bad. Since Newfoundland is a province over, they have a long tradition of herbal cures and a lovely book festival...and the most interesting writers in inglish!! Ah, forget about health and the dirt of Goi, there is a Goichi doktor and his French wife who make a very sought after blue-berry wine right outside Halifax....in demand across @ fine dining places in NYC! Injoy.
