Great, comprehensive, seriously road-tested advice from a Los Angeles voice teacher.

Some things I've heard of (Zycam, ginger tea), some I haven't (acupuncture!). Lots of good, easy-to-do stuff that doesn't involve knocking yourself out with a NyQuil cocktail.

thanks- this is very useful- especially this time of year... 2 out of the 3 people in my house have runny noses and coughs right now...looks like it's time to give one of these a try!

You're welcome. I guess with two kids coming in for a visit soon (The BF's, not mine), I've got staying cold-free on the brain.

Propolis does wonders for some colds. So does Emergen-C for others.
