- Eat garlic or sea-weed now better known as Carrigeen Moss.Quarter an onion and put a portion in the four corners of the room on going to bed. Your cold will have disappeared by morning.A bowl of hot buttermilk or buttermilk gruel with plenty of sugar and butter in it taken in bed and a a good hot jar to your feet you will be well in the morning.In the west of Ireland the old people hold that a good strong glass of punch made from mountain dew and a mustard footbath taken just before bed will make you as "fit as a fiddle" in the morning.Flaxseed boiled and strained with lemon juice, honey liquorice ball added and taken is very good for a cold.
