Yes, yes. Spicy Indian food specifically. It warms you from the inside out.

EDIT: Wait. Why is spicy out of the question? It will clean you out nice and good.

Also, I swear by this. Don't hold back: go full strength and drink it all. (Translation: Do you want to get better? Then don't be a pussy.)

Ginger Tea

INGREDIENTS

1 inch / 2.5 cm piece ginger root, peeled
2 cups cold water
1/2 t cayenne pepper
2 T lemon juice
Sweetener to taste
1-2 cloves garlic, mashed

METHOD
Grate peeled ginger root. Put it in a pot with 2 cups of cold water, bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Add cayenne pepper and simmer 1 minute more. Remove from heat.

Add fresh lemon juice, sweetener to taste, and mashed garlic (you don't want it to cook). Let cool slightly, and strain if desired (I don't).

Also, use a neti pot. And drink a gallon of fluids a day.
