SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
That stubborn cough hanging on after you’ve had a cold can feel endless – especially when lozenges and syrups just aren’t cutting it. Doctors say one lesser-known remedy may work fast: marshmallow root extract. A store-bought marshmallow won’t fit the bill, unfortunately. Marshmallow root extract is an herb, which has been used medicinally for centuries. It contains a gel-like substance that coats the throat, easing irritation and calming dry coughs. Studies suggest relief can kick in within about 10 minutes, making it useful before meetings or bedtime. The effect is short-lived, though, and works best for mild symptoms. Experts stress it’s not a cure-all and recommend checking with a doctor before using supplements, especially if your cough lasts longer than 3 weeks or comes with other symptoms.
Here are some other cough-soothing remedies to try:
• Honey
• Pineapple juice
• Warm saltwater gargle
• Licorice root tea
• Warm water with honey or bone broth

Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California Wednesday night for a DUI. TMZ says the pop superstar was handcuffed by the California Highway Patrol around 9:30pm, and booked by the sheriff’s dept. around 3 AM. She was released from jail around 6am, according to inmate records. Spears’ run-in with the law comes just after being granted a permanent restraining order against a Louisiana man who randomly showed up at her L.A. home after allegedly sharing several “disturbing social media posts.”
“When Harry Met Sally” co-stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan will reunite at the Oscars to honor Rob Reiner. Variety says that Crystal will speak about the late filmmaker and actor during the In Memoriam segment. Ryan will be on stage at the same time, along with other stars of Reiner’s films. The news of Crystal and Ryan’s appearances at the Academy Awards came after it was revealed that Barbra Streisand is in talks to sing during In Memoriam in honor of her “The Way We Were” co-star Robert Redford. The 98th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien, will take place on March 15.

OF THE DAY
When insomnia strikes and your brain just won’t power down, experts say a simple trick called the “Infinity Tracing Technique” might help. It involves slowly drawing a sideways ‘figure 8’ (infinity sign) in the air with your finger while following the shape with your eyes. This gentle, rhythmic eye movement is thought to activate the vestibular and ocular systems, which are linked to balance, spatial awareness, and calming the nervous system. The technique is similar to EMDR therapy, which uses guided eye movements to process trauma. By shifting focus outward and creating predictable motion, infinity tracing may quiet racing thoughts and promote relaxation…and then sweet, merciful sleep. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3wm7fe8n

WEIRD NEWS
A malfunction at a Pennsylvania car wash caused a woman and her car to be trapped inside for nearly an hour. Felicia Sullivan, who documented her experience on TikTok, said she was at the Waynesboro Waterworks car wash when the system abruptly shut off and the doors closed while her car was still covered in soap. Her video shows her pressing an emergency button inside the wash, but she finds it doesn’t work. Sullivan said she knocked on doors and called for help, but was unable to get anyone’s attention. She ended up calling police, and was freed from the car wash by officers and the owner of the business about 45 minutes later. Sullivan said she and her car were not harmed, and she accepted the owner’s apology…which came with a stack of gift cards. LINK: https://youtu.be/ukKl86RzBYg
