Flu and cold season is very much upon us, judging by the sniffles and sneezing going around in most parts of Canada.
On Tuesday, we asked members of the CBC Community to submit their go-to remedies for the common cold.
We received dozens of thoughtful, helpful and detailed responses. We've sorted through the responses and compiled them into a word cloud, above.
Some of the cures, including sleep and hot liquids, have been around for generations. And while CBC News does not endorse any single one of the above remedies, our community members are sure they will work.
Is your favourite remedy included above? If not, please leave it in the comments field below, or email it to us at yournews@cbc.ca!
