For me, if I feel like utter poo, I have a big mug of hot black tea. I have it with a little vanilla soy milk and 4 spoons of sugar. Reaaaally sweet and tasty. When I'm really bad Tai makes it with honey to sweeten.

I also suggest that if you have a blocked nose or sinuses, make black tea without the milk, then add honey, lemon, ginger (ground or fresh) and some tea-tree. Mix and inhale the vapours. Makes for the nice.

For women out there, I heard raspberry leaf tea helps with period cramps, drink it every day a week before you are supposed to get your period and It's supposed to help. I have tried this some times it helps some times it doesn't.

I also heard dill seeds made into a tea is supposed to help with that as well this one i have not tested.

Always make a note that they taste really bad though.
I use aloe on my hands a lot, but often I forget it's on there, and I've licked my hand or something silly.
It's an awful taste, and for some it makes them sick~
