in the eyes of a herbalist a common cold is seen as weakness in the mucosal defenses. you can hold it at bay simply with one cup of hot water with a individual teaspoon of cinnamon and fresh ginger with some fresh lemon juice. Typically for a remedy, plants known as bitters, relaxants and sedatives are pursued in use.

Cinnamon Actions: Carminative; gentle warming digestive tonic; antispasmodic.

Cinnamon Dosage: 0.3-1 gram of dried bark equivalent three times per day. Avoid above normal food use levels if pregnant; Do not abuse internally; not for long-term use.

Ginger Actions: strong circulatory stimulant and vasodilator; diaphoretic; expectorant and pulmonary antiseptic; visceral antispasmodic and carminative.

Ginger Dosage: 250-1000mg dried root equivalent(double for fresh) three times a day.

Dried root: Avoid above normal food use levels if pregnant or if you have gallstones.

Fresh root: Currently recognized as safe.

You can go nuts with the lemon juice i trust you don't need health warnings for that.

A tea from ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, and cloves with lemon juice and raw honey knocks out almost every virus and most fungi in the body and is amazing for immune support. It's not herbal, but colloidal silver is a miracle cure for almost every infection. Hope that helps :)

I feel it must be stated here that all the remedies in the above posts are for the relief of "Symptoms". The Common Cold (Coryza) cannot be "cured". Even anti-biotics have no effect. No Cold lasts more than a few days; the viruses have a limited life. Any Coryza that lasts more than a few days, is a "new" infection.

"There are, at least, 250 different viruses causing the Common Cold (Coryza)."
