I've been feeling really sick for the last couple of days. Tom had the cold and now I've caught it. Apparently it's the "freshers flu" that comes every year with the new arrival of freshers and everybody catches it. It does seem like most of my friends have it.


There is no real cure for the common cold but I have found a few things that will help:



Drink warm drinks reguarly, especially green tea, this will help sooth a sore throat and boost your immune system. Going into a sauna, sitting over a steam mask or having a hot steamy bath will help your body fight off infections. Try pouring some aromatherpy oils such as eucalyptis or lemon oil in to your bath. These will help unblock your nose and throat. Make sure to sleep well and get lots of rest. Too much exercise or strenuous activity will make you feel even more run down.
