I scoffed at her old wives tale.. but sure enough, the next day, I had the sniffles and was all congested. <BR/><BR/>My host told me to make hot limeade - squeeze the juice of several limes into boiling water, add a pinch of salt and a generous amount of sugar, and drink hot. Hot limeade would decongest me and make me better. The vitamin C part I could believe, but I was skeptical about the decongestive powers of hot limeade.<BR/><BR/>Well, I was totally wrong - the old wives tale was correct. I was decongested, and got to enjoy a tasty treat. Hot limeade is still my favorite treatment for congestion, whether or not the congestion comes from swimming in a volcanic crater.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129793131736670227noreply@blogger.com
