Go figure, our mommies were right! As usual!

According to Farmer’s Almanac:

It’s true: Hot chicken soup and lots of garlic help reduce cold symptoms. This is now a scientific proven fact.

And some studies suggest that virtually any way to inhale steam is beneficial. So, savoring a steaming cup of herbal tea may be a good idea. Or, inhale the delicious aroma of that chicken soup cooking on the stove.

Other home remedies said to prevent colds in the first place are: garlic, onions, thyme, sage, and vitamin C, used regularly. Or, if you dare, a daily sandwich of whole-wheat bread, raw yellow onion, a half-inch of horseradish, slice of meat, cheddar cheese, and brown mustard. According to old-timers, this really works!

Oh Wow! Now that sounds absolutely totally delicious. I could go for that.
