When I was pregnant with my first child and suffering with morning sickness, my doctor advised me to have a cup of tea and a ginger biscuit before I even got out of bed. And it did work!

Ginger works for me if feeling nauseous

Whenever I feel run down and come down with a cold or a cough, I usually lose my appetite. On days like that, I keep things simple- a warm cup of ginger tea, plenty of fluids, and as much rest as I can get.

I don't think of ginger tea as a cure, but I do find that a warm drink can be soothing when my throat is irritated and it really helps me feel a little more comfortable in recovery.

Do you have a favorite drink or home remedy when you're dealing with a cold or sore throat?
