ask Ignatz

Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.

I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

I really ned some remedies for congestion! My mom is sick and she has this big business thing friday and she is hosting it and needs help!!! prefer home remedies and natural suff but i will take medicine too! she is just really trying to rest her body and clear up her congestion in her nose. plus she had a bad headache today. please help ASAP!!! THANKS!!! and i will rate all of your suggestions! :) (link)
Zicam is a homeopathic remedy that some of my friends swear by. It's a bit expensive, but effective. Peppermint tea is a bronchiodilator that will open up her chest and head. Chicken soup with lots of garlic (homemade penicillin; garlic also has antibacterial properties). If that fails, feed her the hottest Thai curry or hot wings you can lay hands on. The capsaicin in the chiles will unclog her nose and get everything moving. Plus the endorphin rush will be a serious thrill.

Hope this helps.
