I was feeling fluish (no fever) growing chest congestion and I drank this and I'm 80% better in 1 day. How is this possible?

Question

Post Body

So I don't believe in taking drugs, chemicals but in natural stuff

So I was having a flu type of malaise, stuffed sinuses, upper resp tract congestion, tightness in chest because of that which triggered bouts of coughing to expel the mucus, etc.

I then made an Elixir of Warm water, honey, lemon juice from fresh lemon, ginger/garlic powder 2X

Drank lots of water

Got lots of rest

No meds

and literally one day after

I feel 70% better. Was it the honey? The Water? The rest?

I mean that's fast or could it be that I wasn't severely infected with a harsh case of the flu but maybe a chest cold or something a bit more minor?
