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.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Tell us your remedies! I've heard some pretty usefull odd remedies around here, such as the whole garlin on the feet thing, so I thought it would be cool if we all listed some little-known remedies we know about. I'll start: (btw, pain-remedies would be awsome) Problem: Cold/Flu Remedie: concentrated garllic pills Result: These seem to work better than ColdFX for me and everybody in my family (and coldFX always kills my colds within 3 days). Basically you can get these hard pills of it, which work much better Rating: 5
