Anything with menthol in is good, such as eucalyptus, tea tree or peppermint essential oil (Olbas oil is a good mix too) - put two drops in a bowl of water, head over the water under a towel (careful of the steam) and breathe in the menthol. The steam will kill bugs in the throat and open up the chest.

A bath with a drop of tea tree in it is also good - dont use the other types of oil mentioned though as they're not good on the skin.

Echinacea is a good natural antibiotic. Capsules are available from health shops and pharmacies. Works a treat.

Garlic is also a powerful natural antibiotic - in food is best but capsules will do if you dont like the taste.

Dont forget sleep - its the best medicine around.

I also like to have a hot toddy if im really bad - shot of whisky, spoon of honey, fresh lemon juice topped up with hot water in a tall mug.

Hope you feel better soon.
