But a friend of mine got sick recently and I thought I'd share with you some ~~~ancient Chinese remedies~~~
Wooooooo~~~
They always work for me and my friend came to school healthy today (after doing them last night) so I guess they work? Plus it's cold outside and it's the season for allergies and whatnot.
I only have two I can think of at the moment, but once my mom teaches me more I'll put em on here ^^
----Remedy for a sore throat----
1. Take ginger root and cut it into thin slices (about 3-4 mm thick). 15 pieces should be fine. 2. If you want to make only one cup, boil 2 cups of water with the ginger slices inside. Let the water boil for at least 15 minutes. 3. For every cup, stir in 1-2 spoons of brown sugar (I use a normal sized dinner spoon). 4. Drink immediately (if it's super hot, sip it slowly, but you HAVE to drink it while it's hot). 5. Go to sleep immediately after.
----For a clogged nose/stuffy sinuses-----
1. Pour 7 tablespoons of black vinegar in a small saucepan. 2. Heat it on the stove until it begins to sizzle. 3. (This sounds weird but it works) sniff the vinegar. Be careful not to burn yourself. 4. Continue smelling until your nose is cleared. Repeat if needed.
Yep that's about it. I've got some tea recipes for good skin care if anyone wants them.

or you can follow my dad's version of ancient chinese remedies:
for sore throat-boil water and inhale the steam through your mouth
for congestion-boil water and inhale the steam through your nose
for sore eyes-boil water and stick your face in the steam and blink a lot
for everything-boil water. Steam. Everything.
on second thought don't listen to my dad he honestly just uses hot water as an excuse for everything
