I read some years ago we humans should not breath in oxygen as this ages us and causes illness. I can say no one is going to kick the habit.  |
Okay you win Steed ... but for anyone else with throat problems in this nasty flu season .. I recommend the old USN remedy: https://lifehacker.com/5649856/gargl...-cold-or-cough
Gargling with Salt Water Actually Helps a Cold or Cough
Quote:
A saline solution can draw excess fluid from inflamed tissues in the throat, making them hurt less, said Dr. Philip T. Hagen ... (He also) pointed out that gargling also loosens thick mucus, which can remove irritants like allergens, bacteria and fungi from the throat.
A randomized study of 400 people during cold and flu season also found that salt water gargling three times a day, with or without a cold actually being felt, reduced respiratory infections up to 40 percent.
