Curing a bad cold

To relieve the dryness of the mucous membrane which often accompanies a bad cold, just dissolve 2 spoonfuls of salt into 1 litre of water. Inhale the solution or squirt it into your nostrils with a dropper. To relieve the inflammation and soothe your sore throat, you can also perform a throat-wash every two hours with salted water (2 pinches of salt into 25 centilitres of water)
