i need anything that works naturally, you know herbs and stuff. no medication. something to heal a headache, stuffy nose, chest congestion. i'll take anything. thank you.

You can prevent a cold by having a strong immune system. My fiancee and I use a natural vitamin that builds the immune system naturally. We don't catch anything. Olive leaf; goldenseal/echinacea; colostrum; Cold-Ease a lotta foods with vitamin c. Go to a health food store and buy some garlic pills. These should help boost your immune system. Time.

Tylenol comes from the willow tree, is safe and works so good for aches and pains. Time, rest, and lots of fluids. We've got Polio nipped in the bud pretty much (and how often do we worry about the Black Plague?)... but we still haven't made much real progress in that common cold thing. vitamin C "Cold Ease" is a hard candy (really good!) that significantly cuts down your sick time. It cleared up my nose very quickly and made my sore throat go away within two hours.

For sore throats: drop liquid oregano down the back of your throat. It burns(A good kind of burn, where you feel it as it works) and completely wipes out the sore throat. Can be taken as often as you feel you need it. It also destroys a cold in the early stages. My neighbor gave me some drops when I was catching a cold before a big concert. I took several drops all day and the cold completely disappeared. Liquid oregano is expensive, an indication of its powerful effects.
