Kick the “achoos” to the curb: cold remedies for the sick
Winter: the season of Kleenex, sore throats, and empty seats in class. The cold is as common as it is annoying, affecting many students at least once every year. When faced with the all-too-familiar virus, the conventional wisdom says to sleep and drink plenty of water. While many students simply wait it out, and some turn to their medicine cabinet for help, others have different ways to combat the cold.
Junior Osama Miro: “Chai tea, with ground up carrots.”
Sophomore Gabrielle Tompkins: “Special tea with waiora.”
Senior Kyle Kim: “My grandma has me drink a mixture of lemon juice and honey. It’s actually more of a shot of lemon juice, and then you lick salt.”
Junior Hunter Muxfeldt: “Lemon honey tea and ginger raw. Cut it up and chew on it … or put chunks in some tea.”
Junior Jonathan Pan: “I drink orange juice. By the gallon.”
Senior Haley Kilroy: “Hot orange juice.”
