I was having silly amounts of cinnamon and sugar on hot toast last week. Cold hasn't gone properly but shook the worst of it in 3 days.
Super hot curry with extra chillies, whiskey, brandy and bedroom window open and electric blanket on, showers as hot as I could bear each evening. Paracetamol on the bad days.
you wanna be careful with the water drinking a lot at once can be dangerous......
Echinacea tincture (liquid) 12 drops in a small amount of water x 2 daily.
Preferably this one from H&B http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/a-vogel-echinaforce-60082037
Once cold symptoms have cleared keep taking it.for around a month.
Have you ever tried Olive Leaf Extract?
Stay away from humans and you'll have another cold free yearSort of a red letter day for me this week, I've gone 12 months without a cold! Last winter I had 3-4 colds lasting a total of five weeks. Suppose I've made myself a hostage to fortune now.
I only 'manage' them by a dose of paracetamol at bedtime and some form of linctus if it develops into a cough.
Lambing with a cold is the most misery for me, starts next week.
@llamedos, I hope this post does not break the rules. If it does then no doubt you will delete it.
I sell a range of dried leaves and am experimenting with extracting whatever there is to be extracted from olive leaves - Oleuropein being the main one. I find it easier, and, with limited experience, it seems better, to use fresh leaves. The dried leaves are fine for making tisanes.
I do not know how well fresh leaves would travel through the post, although I think since delivery time to the UK is very quick and given the nature of the leaves they will be OK. Would you like to try some? Or indeed any other poster? Free of cost for the leaves of course. My family and other contacts in the UK would not be prepared to try it, so I have not bothered to ask them. I know from past experience that they would not try making any "herbal teas" either.
40g of fresh leaves need about one quarter bottle of vodka, preferably 40% abv rather than 37.5% because it will extract that tiny bit more - or so my research led me to believe. I am not so philanthropic as to send the vodka too.
The leaves are whizzed in a blender with the vodka, or can be cut finely and the vodka poured over. The exact amount of vodka will vary slightly depending upon the shape and diameter of your container. A 3/4 pound jam jar with screw top lid is the ideal extraction container. Further details would be sent with the leaves, and naturally I would appreciate some feedback on how the leaves travelled as well as use of the end product.
