My old man used to make that, he said it was good for head aches. I tried it when I was a kid, tasted pretty good too.

bowl of boiling water, stick a towel over your head and breath in the steam........helps to clear your sinuses

Eat a couple of raw garlic cloves it will burn your mouth and no one in the house will want you near them for a couple of days, sometimes a good thing but it definitely helps.
