Huh. That sounds great. Next time I have a sore throat I want to try that. Do you make like a tea by having the water in a big mug with lemons in it or what? I like the sound of this because I usually like to avoid taking medication. I'd rather do things naturally. I have this thing, I don't really like the doctors or hospitals or medication. Advil is really the only thing I'll take, because that's the only thing that I think works my general all around pains, and it's kind of a multi-tasker (Also, Advil oddly tastes GREAT to me.) Usually when I can feel myself start to get sick the day or two before a small head cold happens, I completely oversaturate myself with filtered tap water. If I have like 10 bottles of water at least over the course of the day it really puts off my incoming head cold.
