Comfort Remedies

Billy is sick and I just fed him chicken soup at the urging of his Nana. :p

Is chicken soup really good for sick people?

Who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if our grandmothers knew something that doctors don't from their long nurturing experience.

But anyway, it's somehow comforting...warm and that's what people do and have done. It's a sign of care.

What do you think of comfort rememdies for sick people? Do you use them? Believe in them? Have any favorites?

1. A hug
2. A smile
3. Massage
4. Having all my meds, tissues, mags all around me to enjoy at my leisure.

First and foremost: everything the doctor says. And then comes the massages and constant hugging and caring. That itself is a cure on its own :)

Hope Billy gets well soon :)

chicken soup works. it is easy on the body because the body does not have to work hard at digesting the food while battling a fever, and it's full of nutrients.
hope you're talking about fresh chicken soup...

When sick, I also take soup but the veggie one with oat
I also take plain yogurt with salt!

Dear ol' mom is the best remedy.

my dad hugs and cuddles me so much but that doesn't cure me i just keep throwing up .. supportive though...
my favourite thing in the whole wide world when im sick is VapouRub ! I also like to clean the apartment if im not throwing up, it makes me feel better.
Mum thinks soup in most types is beneficial, hot drinks too. I could only have fruits though

Thats what I normally take when I feel sick, chicken soup with lots of black pepper, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, tea with honey, and the list goes on... If none of these work, a trip to the doc.

I hope Billy get well.

Who is Billy by the way?

Dear ol' mom is the best remedy.
Oh for sure.

No one beats mum.

Or no one has as yet.

Mom's love is the best remedy.

Billy would love to have his mom pampering him. It would make him feel better :)

Hope Billy gets well soon, God Bless :)

Olive oil, rubbing it on the chest. Really comforting. Works better than those little oil capsules. And then being tucked in bed right after that.

Mother putting her hand on my forehead, reading Du'aas always works in making me feel better.

I love olive oil too much. Would not work for me....I eat it in almost everything.
