blocked

My ears hurt. And feel all blocked. My tonsils are,as usual, out of a summer hibernation and desperately foraging for every virus and bacteria they can latch on to. Swallowing is painful. And yet I have a full social life (or rather am secretary to the child that does) of a playdate and the first of many Christmas parties today. Home hippy remedies to suggest anyone?

    Hot water with lemon, grated ginger and honey is what is keeping me going. As well as lemsip and salt water gargling.

  3. "secretarty to a child that does". Spot on. Adults barely can have a social life that can compare.

  4. Our family is also suffering. Tips:
    - Shut the bathroom door, power on a hot shower and sit in the steaming room for 15-30 minutes. If with child, then take some toys/books in.
    - Bowl of hot water, towel, stick your head under towel and breathe, perhaps with ginger essence.
    - Teaspoon each of honey, lemon and turmeric mixed together and taken regularly. Good for children too.
