Re: Folk medicine

I believe there is some scientific evidence that suggests taking vitamin C during a cold helps in recovery, but it doesn't do anything to prevent colds. Also if you take too much, it just flushes out in your urine so there's no point in loading up on the stuff.

Hot tea with honey and lemon for sore throats is our home remedy.

Some studies have suggested yes, others no. As far as I know the jury is still mostly out. But no, it will not cure a cold.

I usually buy crystals and drink a solution of it throughout the day as it has a numbing effect on my throat for a short while after consuming it. Some relief is better than none, imo, especially if there's no real downside.
