In the dark season, the underground trains are full of sniffling people, and the body needs a little care. Fortunately, prevention can be combined with feeling good. At the Salz & Meer Natursalzgrotte in Berlin-Steglitz you breathe salty air and treat yourself to a quiet time-out, while the Saunarivm in Pankow stylishly wards off colds with a Roman steam bath, tepidarium and Finnish sauna. A hot cup of tea does you good too, ideally with a new variety from the Cathé fleur tea shop in Pankow. And a spoonful of Kaiserhonig from Tempelhof is a tried-and-tested remedy for coughs. That way you get through Berlin's dreary weather well prepared. What does you the most good when you have a cold?

I like tips that combine the pleasant with the useful, rather than just sending you to the pharmacy. For me, what counts is that a place really does you good, whether through salty air, cosy warmth or an honestly good cup of tea. I look for a relaxed atmosphere and for being able to breathe freely afterwards. And I enjoy trying new things that are easy to fit into everyday life.
