homemade cold remedies?

Does anyone know any homemade cold remedies. For American remedies I like hot tea, honey, lemon and whiskey. Also a good swallow of hot sauce washed down with juice is good. Any Czech remedies? I do not like putting chemicals in my body.

 

Bear's milk: hot milk, honey and rum (or slivovitz).

 

Česneková polevka (garlic soup). It's very easy to make and taste delicious, especially when you are sick.

For that recipe above, I skip the egg because I don't care for it with the egg.

 

Thank you both for the remedies. My cold is disiipating now. But knowing Michigan weather I might get another one and I will try these.

 

I was given a clove of garlic in honey once by a Czech friend.
