At the first sign of a cold i make "tea" from ground ginger and turmeric and put freshly ground black pepper in each cup. Piperin is supposed to boost curcumin uptake by a whoppin 2000 times. My sample size of one shows positive results. Flu like symptoms call for willow bark. Works for me. Medicinal The leaves and bark of the willow have been mentioned in ancient texts from Assyria, Sumer and Egypt[citation needed] and in Ancient Greece the physician Hippocrates wrote about its medicinal properties in the fifth century BC.
