Salt "rocks!" when you're dealing with clogged sinii. I'd recommend adding a
pinch of wasabi to any soup you're considering, it'll unclog you fairly well,
just remember to inhale after swallowing so the burn goes up rather than down.

OTOH you can always try the "English Cure" for colds:

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 bottle gin (Boodles preferred)
1 hat

Prepare for bed. Dress warmly and have plenty of blankets on the bed.

Hang hat from bedpost.

Sip gin until you see two hats.

Stop drinking and pass out.

When you wake your cold will be gone.

Eat hot kippers on toast for breakfast and your hangover will be gone.

HTH,

Marc
