Some symptoms of a cold should be addressed, and treated, individually. While the general natural treatments will help, there are other things you can do to alleviate individual symptoms. Symptoms of the common cold can include:   Nasal dryness or irritation is often the first symptom. Sore throat or an irritated, itchy throat is another common first symptom. Nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and sneezing.  These usually get worse over the next 2-3 days after the first symptoms. The nasal discharge is usually clear and watery. It may become thicker and greenish-yellow. Headache or body aches. Watery eyes. Facial and ear pressure from congested sinuses. Loss of sense of smell and taste. Cough and/or hoarseness. A low-grade fever may occur, usually in infants and preschool children. For stuffy nose, put a couple drops eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree oil in a bowl of boiling water. Put your face over it (not too close — don't burn yourself on the steam!) and cover with towel to inhale steam. You can also put these oils right into your bathwater. You can use natural cough drops or throat sprays, which will help to moisturize your throat and ease discomfort. If you have a dry cough, milk will moisturize your throat and help you feel better. If you have a productive cough (with phlegm coming up) milk will increase the problem. If you are concerned about strep throat, a cough indicates that you do not have strep. For a general sore throat, gargle with warm salt water to kill bacteria. You can add one drop of tea tree oil to a warm salt water gargle, if available. This will help to kill bacteria in the throat. The common cold can be complicated by ear infections (otitis media), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), chronic bronchitis (lung inflammation with congestion and coughing) and worsening of asthma symptoms. If you have a combination of illnesses, it may be best to consult with a doctor to get the treatment you need.

Summary: Treat individual symptoms. Treat sinus congestion. Treat a cough. Treat a sore throat. Treat additional illnesses that could exacerbate your cold symptoms.


You can use soap or body wash paired with warm water to loosen the latex. Massage the area with your hands or a scrubber to help the latex lift from your skin. If you bought a latex kit, it may have come with a bottle of body wash designed to wash away the latex. Regular body wash works just as well. This will clear away any of the smaller pieces that may still be in your hair or on your skin. Pat your body dry with a towel.

Summary: Wash the area with warm, soapy water. Rinse your body in warm water once the latex has been removed.


Whether there is a family spot, you’ve heard legends about a certain stream, or you just have a hunch, there is generally some truth behind the wives tales and family stories. While you may think that because a spot has already been panned there won’t be any gold left, this isn’t the case. Streams and rivers carry small flakes and nuggets from upstream deposits. Every winter, storms unearth more gold, and that gold could be yours. The spot you pick should have water that is a minimum of six inches deep. If it is any shallower than that, the water might be too muddy or filled with leaves and other debris to get a good look at your pan when it is under the water. The water should be moving fast enough to carry away the silt and debris you sift out of your pan, but slow enough the water will not upset your panning motions when your pan is submerged. This is optional but a large rock that you can sit on while prospecting will make your day much easier (and your legs and back will thank you). Standard pans are either metal or plastic. Plastic pans are better for beginners because they are rust-proof, lighter in weight than metal pans, black (which allows the gold to be seen better) and they can be textured with ribs to catch gold. If you do use a steel pan like the 49ers of yore, make sure to remove any oil from its surface. (If you are using a newly bought pan, you shouldn’t have to worry about oil.) Remove oil by holding the pan over a campfire with a pair of tongs or fireproof gloves. Heat the pan to a dull red glow and then dunk it in water. This process removes the oil and leaves the pan with a dark blue color that makes seeing the gold easier. Sieves can be set over a pan and will separate the large items from smaller ones. It is not necessary to use a sieve but they can be helpful, when sifting the gold from black sand and concentrates.
Summary: Go to a stream or river where you have heard gold has been found. Pick a spot along the side of the stream or river. Pick a spot with a slow current. Pick a spot that has large rocks or a fallen tree along the water’s edge. Pick your pan. Understand the panning sieve.
