Feeling urgh!

Been fighting a head cold and cough all week and thought I was winning... Until today - head felt full of cotton wool all day and gradually got worse.
It prompted a conversation at work about magic cures as my manuka honey in every hot drink and lemsip twice a day solution clearly isn't working!
Cure one ; from Pakistan, warm milk, honey and turmeric.
Cure two ; from Zimbabwe, sliced onions layered between brown sugar overnight produce a syrup to drink the following morning.

Tried 'cure one' before bed which tasted quite nice. If I still feel this bad in the morning, will try out 'cure two ' which is currently marinating in the kitchen!
