Ginger and colds

[zak]

i have developed a conviction that Ginger are very effective against flu and colds, years ago the flu and colds was deadly for me, but now it is mild after using Ginger (put 2 tea packs from ginger in a cup of boiled water and wait 10 minutes and drink slowly), the first time you ever drink ginger is a mass destruction weapon against the ordinary infuenza virus and the cold and runny nose. if you add zinc tablet 20 mg every day during the flu symptoms it will contribute to reduce the attack of the viruses by a half.
so go for nature, it have all secrets.

I remember reading about this Israeli remedy. It seemed to make sense, that breathing steam would kill rhinoviruses. I tried it, breathing steam from a boiling pot of water on the stove. Absolutely, it effectively burned my nasal passages. But, according to this link, the rhinoviruses, like the steam.
