Traditional Slovenian medicine: Not available in pharmacies.
I’ve caught something. I’m not sure what. All I know is that I don’t want it.
Right now my symptoms are mild (sore throat, weak joints) but I have a feeling they might get worse. In the meantime, here are the suggestions I heard today from various people about how to get better, in the order in which I heard them: (Note that not one person was joking; these are all serious suggestions.)
1) “Gargle with pear schnapps.”
2) “Have of shot of slivovitz.”
3) “Cook some hot tea, then mix in some honey and slivovitz.”
4) “Drink a really cold beer.”
5) “Try some cooked whiskey.”
Notice a pattern? How come no one ever advises me to get some rest? Or to take some anti-flu medicine? I ended up trying option three, but it only made me feel worse.
At home I took a shot of Angal, a locally produced sore throat medicine. And you know what? It worked great.
