A spicy Indian recipe for beating the flu

While in India, I treated many patients with complementary medicine. This will cure colds/flu within four days:
1 teaspoon of black pepper powder
1 teaspoon of ginger powder
1 teaspoon of basil powder
50 g of jaggery [unrefined sugar].
Boil ingredients in 2 cups of water. Take it three times a day for three days. This is a time-tested remedy that’s been used for decades. – G.M. Shah, Leicester
