Ah Hank! The Hot Toddy! Now that’s a remedy I might experiment with tonight… (Tim’s whiskey collection is woefully underutilized. I should get sick more often!)

I will remember cayenne pepper for the next time I have a cold, but usually lemon, honey and a dash of whiskey is my remedy. If nothing else, the whiskey usually helps me get to sleep.

I have a lot of ear issues with clogged Eustacian tubes. Some old person told me to cut up an onion, put it in a sock, and put it underneath my head while I slept. I smelled like onion for a full week, and it did not fix the problem.

My wife swears by this one when she’s got a sinus cold:

Mug of OJ + Spoonful of Honey + Dash of Cayenne + 90 seconds in the microwave = Sinus clearing steam and throat soothing vitamin c boost.

Enjoy!
