A Collection of Cold Remedies from Nineteen Different Countries
Caring SocietyPhysical HealthMedical CareWellbeing

We all know what it feels like to feel a tickle in your throat and know that we need to do a small act of self-care to battle getting sick. Under The Weather is a collection of recipes for common cold treatments from 19 countries around the world. If you feel Under The Weather, take a pill and let one of the world’s many remedies soothe your symptoms. Each recipe includes its country of origin and instructions on how to best battle your symptoms—feeling pained by a heavy cloud leaning on your shoulder? Why not explore how this feeling is fought from another region of the globe?

When interviewing individuals from around the world, we were very clear about how their information will be shared and that all data will be kept anonymous. While compiling the recipes, we ensured that there was no hierarchy in how information from various countries was presented.

One person’s information does not represent their entire country. For example, not every American person takes Airbourne and not every Chinese person takes Indigo Woad Root.
