When I have run a high fever, over the years, what I have done is gone to bed and slept ten hours a night to give my body a chance to repair itself. Also take vitamins, drink lots of clean fluids (including tea, pop or coffee) eat a balanced diet, and get moderate exercise with gardening or maintenance…

Several hours each day I spend reading and/or writing while
listening to:

Carlos Santana & John Lee Hooker The Healer

or similar music…

I lived in Arizona for five years and have seen hooded figures completely wrapped in gray cloaks, giant deer with full racks of antlers, flocks of black chickens running in front of me and variably sized bison crossing lightning and thunder fast in front of me, Mother Earth alive beneath them them: infinite, omniscient, incommensurable and electric.

CHICKENS 🐔 LOTS OF THEM!

(Tim’s note. I add peppermint and cilantro to the tea)

“Chamomile tea and peppermint tea have long been a favorite of people recovering from the common cold. Keep in mind that chamomile tea is not recommended if you’re pregnant. Stirring a bit of honey into your favorite herbal tea may loosen phlegm, soothe pain and soreness, and suppress a cough.”

Ginger Tea

“Ginger helps to fight off cold symptoms due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties.”

*Peppermint. Beyond the distinct taste from peppermint tea, you’ll also ingest menthol in the leaves which help if you have a cough.” …

*”Chamomile. Along with fluids, doctors will recommend rest to get over your illness. …”

Other home remedies

There are plenty of other home remedies
you can try while you recover from
a cold or a sore throat.

Staying hydrated is essential for health, even when not fighting a cold. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water or other fluids while you rest and recover from the common cold.

Zinc supplements may work to reduce the amount of time you’re sick, especially if you take them within 24 hours of your symptoms appearing.

Over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, (in moderation) may help reduce headache, aching joints, and fever symptoms from a cold.

(if used too much can make your stomach bleed)

Keep cough drops or throat lozenges handy. These help because they encourage your mouth to make saliva, which keeps your throat moist and eases soreness.
