Cold isn't really a serious disease, but its symptoms are really unpleasing. In my case, headache and nausea are always accompany my cold. So, having cold means that I could not work until I completely recovered.
There is a method to relieve cold without consuming any drugs, called gua sha in Chinese - Indonesian and Javanese call it kerokan. We just need lubrication (oil or balm - use cajuputi oil for its warm and soothing) and a metal coin (or a metal spoon) to scratch our back. Perhaps we also need a help to scratch our back, it is difficult to reach there. The method is simple, scratch your back from spine to both sides until your skin becomes redder. When you are finished your back will looks like a fish skeleton or tiger skin.
Afterwards, we should feel comfortable and cold symptoms are fading. It is said that this method triggers our body to release endorphin, it has an effect to relieve pain and bring pleasant feeling. Endorphin is released when we feel pain because of injuries or something similar. Kerokan or guasha is not really hurt, but it is a bit ticklish. Apply enough pressure during scratching so it is not hurt, but tickling sensation is perhaps unavoidable.

Drinking ginger may relieve our cold faster, we can drink it raw with sugar or add grounded ginger to a cup of tea or coffee.
