Everyone at one point or another has come down with a case of the sniffles or has gotten a migraine. You’re just lucky that it happened in the 21st century and not the Middle Ages. During that time the common cold would have been treated by giving you sweet-smelling herbs such as rose, lavender, sage, and bay and to treat a migraine you would have undergone a procedure known as Trepanation, the act of drilling a hole in the skull to relieve pain and pressure.
