Spanish natural remedies for coughs and sore throats.

Despite the beautiful sunny weather we have at the moment, there are a surprising number of people suffering from coughs and sniffles. Yesterday Amelia gave us a couple of spanish remedies.

If you are unable to sleep at night due to coughing - put an onion, cut in half, in your room on your bedside cabinet.

Sore throat - gargle with pure unsweetened lemon juice and then drink honey mixed with milk.

I've never come across any of these and at the moment, I have no need to try them - but hey, if they work - great!

I was fortunate, my cold only lasted a couple days, some people her have been really unwell with sore throats, losing their voices and flu like symptoms. I'll keep taking the vitamin C and try and keep come distance from all the bugs they keep bringing back from the UK!
