Home Remedies

As it’s bitterly cold outside, I’ve been getting lots of questions about home remedies for colds, coughs, and runny noses. As I’m the picture of health many people want to know what I do to keep colds away. The answer is easy: Red Bull, DayQuil, and menthol cigarettes (I go with Kools). DayQuil is a surprisingly effective remedy for the common cold, combined with Red Bull, it is doubly effective (if not triple-ly). I usually take three DayQuil tabs every four hours to maximize the effect. The menthol cigarettes work to your advantage in a couple ways. First, the smoke suffocates any of the cold germs that may be in your lungs. So by smoking, you are essentially smoking out the cold, similar concept to smoking out a wasp’s nest. Additionally, the menthol in the cigarettes acts like a soothing agent on your throat, much like a cough drop. So my pack of Kools is more or less a cold medication combined with a cough drop. Wrapping this up, if you want to fight off a cold: Red Bull, DayQuil, and menthol cigarettes.
