You mean "trying to get rid of a cold"?

No..."trying to get"...maybe that's a southern phrase. Just means my body seems bound and determined to catch it!

My folks make it right off the tree. My father owns lands which are filled only with eucalyptus trees.

They take the leaves, then cloves and other Indian ingredients, put them all in hot water. They give you a blanket and you go inside and inhale this vapour for a good 5 to 10 minutes......... it just relaxes any chapped nose

It's funny - that's what I say, too, because it's a literal translation from my mother tongue. I know it raises brows, but I like it better. Besides, I like raising brows, too!

Try taking antioxidants , like green tea, or pomegranate. This will help your body fight against it.
