1. Bowls of hot steaming soup. Miso and Chicken Broth are excellent.
2. Use cotton handkerchiefs instead of tissues. Your nose won't go as red and sore. A tree doesn't have to be cut down. Hankies are pretty and fun to embroider. Just make sure you don't leave them lying around and wash correctly.
3. Burn these essential oils in your vapouriser: orange, anything citrussy, lemongrass, eucalyptus. Also apply neat to the soles of your feet at night.
4. Keep warm with thick handknitted scarves and bedsocks.
5. Snack on seedless mandarins.
6. Rug up and rest your body. Take a good book or iPad to bed instead of sitting at a computer desk.
7. Don't mix with people and if you feel that you have to ring and warn them before you arrive... They might have low immunity... What is just a cold for you could be a lot worse for them.
8. Make sure your heating/cooling system isn't drying out the air too much. Humidify. Germs thrive in dried out respiratory systems. Drink lots of water. Use a facial steamer with a towel over your head.
9. Watch a funny movie, laughter is great medicine. Try not to mope just because you are ill.
10. Beg, pay for, find childcare for yourself if you are a Stay At Home Mum. You deserve sick leave too!
