My throat is sore. The closest thing we have to sore throat drops are those Halls vitamin C drops.
We also have some ginger candy, spicey in the sweet sort of way. I read somewhere that ginger is good for coughing and sore throats.
I also have a slight fever.
Crap, I'm going to get sick.

Hot chakra food isn't good for one's well being and include fried greasy foods, peanuts, etc.. Cold chakra/chi foods supposedly will soothe whatever is irritating you, and they include vegetables, some fruits, etc.. The problem is that citrus fruits are counted among the hot chakra items XP, so one can't believe the folklore that much!
I hope you feel better soon!

We don't have any fresh ginger and the chewy candy we do have tends to bite the tongue.
