Re: Tips for fighting a cold?
It isn't that strange to think that food and things used in food could help with illness or just give some relief at least.Maybe some chocolate?There's been information I saw at one point saying that it even helped to open up rat respiratory systems if given in a small and safe amount,so in theory that may also apply to humans.It's worth trying at least,and either way chocolate can definitely make a lot of people feel better

Re: Tips for fighting a cold?
Salt water is quite commonly used for a gargle & cayenne pepper would stimulate the circulation in your throat giving a warming effect so it makes sense that would give some relief.

Re: Tips for fighting a cold?
Eating certain strong tasting foods like red peppers helps to unblock my nose when I've got cold symptoms and they're fairly good for you too. I don't have much to add since everyone has responded with so many good ideas!

An excuse to eat chocolate? Don't say that twice!

That's very interesting. I had no idea why it worked or if I had gone mad. Whenever I tell people about it, they certainly look like it's weird

Yup, i read it (: It was more the mix between salt and cayenne pepper that I didn't understand. Or more precisely, I was wondering if it was all the salt water or if the cayenne pepper actually did something

I'm fairly sensitive to spices, so I think the cayenne pepper has done the work for me as far as unblocking my nose goes. I will definitely add this to my list though! I'll save all the information I got here in a document and open it whenever I need it (:
