This works because slightly elevating your body temperature activates your immune system.

My fave remedy is for sleeplessness caused by anxiety; smoke a bowl of dried hop flowers before bed.

For poison ivy, I use absorbine jr, which was originally a horse liniment. It's got thyme, mint, and eucalyptus oils dissolved in acetone and dries out the rash FAST.

For stuffiness, I like to go get sushi with XTRA wasabi. And a hot sake... but not for the cold!

For the lethargic winter blues, I like to cook with lots of hot peppers. I find the spice to be invigorating.
