John Rich is battling a cold, and he's relying on a home remedy suggested by his grandmother.

He Tweeted, "Granny Rich swears rubbing Vicks on the bottom of your feet will keep me from coughing all night. Not sure if I believe her, but here I go." He later reported, "OK, I was coughing about every 30 seconds, slathered on the Vicks and have only coughed twice in 10 minutes. It's a miracle!"

If that doesn't work, we've done some research and have come up with a few other wacky home remedies he can try:

• Painting cow manure on your bare chest in the sign of the crucifix.
• Making a powder of dried frog skins, mixing it with fruit juice and drinking the concoction.
• Lizard Soup.
