The top 5 insider tips for the cold of grandma Inge
1. Black radish with candy (see video!)
The black radish, also known as "winter radish", is Grandma Inge's favorite in the long list of her home remedies. Good for coughing and hoarseness! Tasty is different, but help tuts! Cut the round tuber up and down with a sharp kitchen knife. Hollow out the radish, cut a 1cm (perimeter) hole into the tuber on one side. Put on a glass, fill with brown candy. The candy pulls the liquid from the tuber, into the glass drips a golden yellow juice. "Nice sweet," explains Grandma Inge, "so that the grandchildren drink it too." Uh, well. We say: nose to and through!
2. Salt herring lake
A scurrilous among the home remedies, and feared by granny Inges children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren: the infamous Salzhering Lake. Recommended for sore throat and hoarseness. Put the salty herring into the water and pour it into a shot glass. Stop the air, drink it. A glass is enough. "Also helps with hangovers ?, says Grandma Inge.
3. Garlic and onion wrap
A classic that has it all. Granny Inge swears on the sharp wrap, which is supposed to work wonders for sore throats. Cloves of garlic and a onion skin. Simmer in a pot for 5-10 minutes. Drain off water. Crumble the garlic and onion into pieces and wrap in a kitchen towel. Grandma Inge recommends a white knee sock. That's where the spicy mixture comes in. Grandma Inge takes the left sock. Why? ? You have always done that !? Aha. Put the hot wrap around your neck. Caution, do not burn! Not suitable to be fit for the evening date, if you understand ...
4. Nettle tea with turmeric
Grandma Inge still plucks the stinging nettle in the garden ("The weed must go!") And pours the washed leaves with boiling water. If there are no fresh leaves, also do the dried nettle from the pharmacy. Let the tea steep, drain through a sieve. Grandma Inge snipped ginger into it. Since then her granddaughter of turmeric has reported (? Never heard! What is that?), Turmeric is also grated. After all, you have to keep up with the times as a 90-year-old, says Granny Inge. Sweet with honey.
5. Milk instead of nasal spray
Sounds strange, but it should help: Grandma Inge recommends milk as a substitute for nasal spray. Absorb fresh milk through the nose. Yuck! But does not milk produce mucus? And what milk should one take? Soy? Almond? Oats? Grandma Inge shakes her head vigorously. At the time, everything was not there !? Use cow's milk.
