A new survey has revealed that a fifth of Irish people turn to natural remedies when they get struck down with a cold or cough.
More than half turn to vitamin C – found in oranges, tomatoes and peppers – to help them get back to health. Regular honey and lemon were also popular remedies.
Just under a third of those asked believe in the power of garlic to rid them of an infection while a similar amount simply try to sleep it off.
The survey, conducted by Naturalife to mark the launch of Manuka Health Honey Chewable Tablets with CycloPowerTM, involved two thousand adults in the UK and Ireland.
Alternatively you could try these Honey Vodka Shots or chocolate which is believed to be great for a sore throat.
