Got a cold/virus that I am battling and the weather is just awesome here on the upper California coast but we have only has 30% of our normal rainfall since July 1st. We did get out yesterday and cleanup some of our perennials and Lady Bender did a little today but I slept until 9am.
Something called Unka Biloba (not sure of spelling) for colds.
Thyme Tea with lemon and honey for cough - honey is a top cough suppressant.
Sage Tea to gargle for sore throat
Steep the leaves for 10 minutes, strain and add 1/4 tsp salt. Gargle several times daily. This has tested in lab to be as good as lidocaine.
Marcella, I thought you might be interested in this too.
Here’s a link for more info on Dr. Low Dog. I attended a seminar on health where she was a featured speaker, sponsored by a hospital in St. Louis.
Sorry to hear about your illness. Take care of yourself, the gardening can wait a few days.
