I've had a quite troublesome head cold since showing my friend around Manhattan after the holidays. I'm finally getting over it today, but I still feel my nose running and my sinuses stuffy. This year, I made up my own person version of the "hot toddy". From what I've read, we're not allowed to share recipes on myLot buuuuuut, I'll give you some mystery ingredients to keep you guessing. Oats, rum, honey, cinnamon, chai tea, lemon, and ginger slices!! What are some of your favorite home remedies and comfort foods when you are sick?

I like to put honey in my tea, that's about it.

Honey has antibacterial properties, and is very smooth and sticky so it can soothe the inflammation of the throat :)

Lots of warm water, Organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar with honey, and also warm lemon juice with honey have been very helpful to me and my family.
