Where To Purchase Red Flannel

[skyplus]

I get numerous chest infections, and was advised to get red flannel to wear against my chest. Long ago people here in Ireland had great faith in it.

I thought this was going to be a herb.

Skyplus, many years ago, my step-dad suffered badly with his chest, he was told to keep Thermogene under his vest. It's like orange wadding. He swore by it, no idea of it's still available.
It must have contained some chemical or other.
It was purchased by the roll, and you cut off enough to cover chest.

Ah just googled ...
Thermogene wadding was impregnated with capsicum and methylsalicylate.

Hi Sky, better remedy is to go to bed with a good book... or someone who's read one. May not improve your chest infection, but it'll take your mind off it! Good luck with whatever you try. xx

You'd be far better off going to your doctor and getting a proper diagnosis as to why your infections keep repeating.
