Home remedies‿ an(d) treatments

My name‿ is Kim. When‿ I have‿ a sore throat,│ I do not go to the doctor‿ immediately. My family has‿ a lot of^{a lotta} home remedies,│ an(d) most‿ of them work.

First,│ I make‿ a warm drink with honey an(d) lemon. Then‿ I take‿ a bowl‿ of hot water^wa-der‿ an(d) breathe the steam for five minutes. My grandmother says,│ "Rest‿ up,│ an(d) do not talk for two hours." She learned these‿ ideas from her mother,│ an(d) she is 82 years‿ old.

I also drink tea with ginger‿ instead‿ of coffee,│ and‿ I sleep nine‿ hours. If‿ I do not feel better^be-der│ after three days,│ I go to the doctor. Natural remedies‿ are cheap‿ an(d) simple,│ but‿ it‿ is‿ importan(t) to take care‿ of yourself.
