Hannelore, I know some people swear by Airborne -- but it's definitely not natural. It contains so much artificial sugar and leaves such a bad aftertaste, that the last time we both had a cold, neither hubbo nor I could finish off a glass between us.

I use a collection of Chinese herbs called Cold Snap, although I doubt you'd find it in Germany.
