Dealing with a cough with lemon

My cold has developed in a cough with some mucous. How charming!

Tonight, I visited a tea place and got an iced lemon green tea. This place is generous with the lemon ratio. I also got tapioca in it for free.

I felt much better drinking it. I generally have a hot lemon drink in the morning. It seems that I need to overdose on the lemon these days.

  1. there is such a thing as High dose vit C for treating colds etc. I personally go up to about 2-3 grams when I'm really ill. Good luck with recovering soon!

    1. I have tried loading up on vitamin C. The problem is that I end up with diarrhea as a side effect. So, I tend to stay away from going overboard. However, I seem to do better with natural sources of vitamin C. Lemon is my friend. =)

      Thanks so much for your well wishes. My cough has subsided significantly. I am congested here and there, but I'm mending nicely. Yay!

    2. Oh yes, the personal limit to how high you can go is when the diarrhoea hits. LOL. Oops. I hope you get well - peppermint essential oil for the congestion maybe?

    3. I've been drinking peppermint tea and it seems to be working for my congestion. I never thought about using peppermint as an essential oil. I need to give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion, Fondles!
