You can buy it at a health food store. It is with the vitamins. It is a huge immune system builder.

Also, posted this on another thread, but worth repeating. Get 2 cups of Epsom salts, 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar, pour in bath water with the water as warm as you can stand, ease on in up to chin, soak, jump in bed and cover up. Helps with sore achy muscles, draws poisons out, and is very relaxing.

1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup whiskey and 1/3 cup lemon juice concentrate. Microwave until boiling and sip off the spoon until you pass out, LOL! Really the lemon and whiskey will break up the chest congestion and deal with the aches. the honey soothes the throat and makes the other two ingredients bearable.
BUT if you are having trouble breathing get to a DOC soon!

Hey, what about just stay in bed and get waited on by another family member...that idea would cure me quick....also what about just boil water, take off stove, get a towel and make yourself a tent with the steam..helps those sinus issues quick.

Hot bath - as hot as you can stand. Then chicken soup and lots of garlic, onion (serious help with congestion they are), and yes honey if you can't stand the heat of onions and garlic. Sleep, keep warm and no matter what you know it will go away. Strength to you.
