Despite the cold climate and harsh living conditions, Russians have a reputation for being strong and healthy. This may have something to do with the fact that most Russians do not like taking medicine or pills for things such as a cough or a blocked nose.
They consider medicine and pills very harmful. Instead of seeing a doctor or taking a pill, they usually resort toone of the traditional cures and folk remedies, handed down from generation to generation.Some of those in the table have been used for centuries and have a high success rate. See if you know any of I them.

| COLD | 1. Before going to bed, stand with your ankles in very hot water wearing a woolen hat. 2. Before going to bed, drink a large mug of tea with honey or hot milk with honey or butter. 3. Just before going to bed, rub some vodka or spirit on your chest and feet, put some mustard powder in a pair of woolen socks and put them on. |
