I've never had that either. Here in this part of The States the go-to stomach remedy when I was a kid was Pepto Bismol in all of it's pink minty goodness.Maybe you had to eat a nice daily spoon of cod liver oil instead as a kid...
My Mom's go to remedy for a chest cold was a "Colmans Mustard plaster".....I swear to God it should have been listed as child abuse. I would never admit to being sick for fear of getting the plaster. But at the first sign of congestion, cough or runny nose out came the mustard. Later on Vick's VapoRub hit the market and that supplanted the mustard.......I didn't consider it an upgrade. My wife used to use and I would sleep in the guest room.......I called it a PTSD flashback.
The kind of non-prescription reading glasses you can buy off the shelf at a local drug store.
It is still a sore point in our household......it is thing we dare not mention. We could have a civilized discussion of adultery much easier than we could talk about Vicks Vapo.
I've never heard of Neo Citron, but I'm otherwise familiar with the hot toddy as a cure (of sorts) for the common cold/flu. You can pretty much substitute any alcohol for Scotch if you wish (my preference is Tequila), but the key is to drink it as hot as you can possibly stand it right before you go to bed, then pull the covers up around your neck and sweat out whatever is ailing you. It doesn't necessarily get rid of the cold/flu, but I've always felt at least a little better the next morning because the lemon juice helps your body retain the water to stave off dehydration, the honey helps to break up the congestion in your lungs, and the alcohol...well, you know.
