i never found garlic or chilli to help. Honey and lemon, an aspirin and rest helps

Yeah a normal person would do that.

What chilli and garlic? I bet he cuts an onion and uses the segments as a spoon to scoop up food. Just a guess.

Yeah the chilli and garlic. No on the onion spoon, however! He used to have these weird "special cotton" that he would burn and sniff to get rid of nasal congestion.

It actually fucking worked, but man, it sucked.

If it’s a cold Armaforce does wonders but it’s a tad pricey.

Used to use it all the game and would avoid colds and similar stuff by taking it early.

It’s like olive, echinacea and something else.

Andrographis. I swear by it too!

I haven’t heard of that one. What does it do?

Anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Can boost your immune system and white cell production but not good for people with autoimmune disorders.
