I’ve been sick with a nasty cough and sore throat. My fabulous ayi boiled some asian pears, then added crystal sugar (those big chunks of clear sugar). After it cooled, she strained it and had me drink it. It really seemed to help. Has anyone else heard of this? Any other natural Chinese cold remedies I should know about?

Re: Natural Chinese Cold Remedies
yes, it's a traditional method popular in Southern China to cure a sore throat. it's believed to soothe the lungs and lower the "shang huo" (inner heat). Check out this tbjkids article for more home remedies around the world:
