Flu is chasing us

Between the mountains it is really cold and humid here in Cava de ' Tirreni. It easy to get all kind of virus and bacillus in randomly. In first round we won Stomach virus that were spiced up with nice fever and vomiting all night long. Then the second round we got some flu with the nice cough and little angina.  I have used all home remedies from breathing hot potato to massaging some goose fat to chest. Not to mention sleeping with the onion bowl next to you. And the next day its smells in every where . :) these are my mother and grandmother remedies. 

In Italy, generally when flu comes the first thing they do is to take medicine or even antibiotics. For me it is really strange. For me the medicines comes in last place when all home remedies doesn't work. Anyway here are few "witch" :) craft that we do:

Hot potato breathing  : relaxing your cough and gives relief for breathing

Goose fat: Gives you warming feeling on your chest

onion slices: Keeps your nose open for better breathing, and takes all the bacteria and virus in itself. So need to throw away at the next  morning. 

Goose fat

Will see how this week is going to be..
