Dear Amanda, here in China we always drink garlic infused hot water with honey, like, with tons of garlic. Or hot cocacola with tons of ginger. Weirdly, they often work

This is my “cold tonic” that I make every time I feel myself starting to get sick. It works like a charm, and it feels heavenly on a sore throat(all that honey I suppose): 3 C boiling water Ginger 1/4 C apple cider vinegar 1/4 C honey 2 cinnamon sticks 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper Pinch of salt Combine all and let steep until it’s cool enough to drink. You can then strain out the cinnamon and ginger but I usually just leave it lie.

WASH YOUR HANDS. Each time, right after you touch a sick person, or handle something of there's.

I'm envisioning you being a 111% well. I prefer projecting the positive.

Amanda! In Ayurveda we have a recipe that some of us call Panacea. It's fresh ginger juice and lime juice (it's more readily available in Brazil than lemon, but use whichever) in equal proportions, 4tbsp each. 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tsp unrefined sea salt. Mix it all and drink the equivalent of your cupped hand, either before meals, upon waking up or whenever you feel like you need to get rid of mucus or strengthen your immune system. It's recommended for colds, flu, improving appetite, stimulate digestion and elimination and overall immunity strengthening. Have it always available in your fridge, shake before using. The stuff is amazing even for the most skeptical. Wishing y'all the best!

Bit late to this one but for sore throats, manuka honey.

The best ever: Vital mushrooms, in your case Coriolus and Agaricus Brazil Murill. I swear, it's unbeatable.

Honest-to-goodness, I take emergen-c. Or any generic brand of the same thing. It may be a placebo, but since I've been taking it, I feel like I've been fighting off sickness way faster and without the full-blown cold ever hitting. One or two glasses a day typically helps.

I had to emcee (loved it actually) for a comedy/drag queen show in San Francisco this week... and now I'm down with the ick-thing. It's kinda what I'm dealing with- Baileys in Coffee, and Fire Whiskey inclusive. Because I live to clean the cooties from the inside out.

I would say "Don't get sick," but I listened to you on NPR on Live from Here earlier and you were sick and your voice was rough and you managed to get through it, because you are a real live ROCK STAR.

Elderberry syrup. You don’t need anything else. x
