I'm sure they don't really do anything to help the cold, but when you wake up all crusty and with a head full of snot, they make you feel a little better temporarily at least.

Eat some raw chilli, that'll clear up your sinuses and will certainly wake you up. (I'm not kidding, I used to eat a lot of this.)

The product sounds interesting anyway, I wouldn't mind trying it just for fun.

Actually I've found eating raw garlic incredibly helpful during colds and flus. It supposedly has strong anti-germ and anti-viral properties, and also has other effects I like. It creates a feelng of warmth that is welcome, as if it were energizing my struggling body somehow, and it does a terrific job of loosening up phlegm deep in the lungs.

Hot peppers I also find a bit helpful too. But raw garlic, and onions as well, really seem to do a lot for me when I'm sick.
