Herbal Cough Syrup
Very soothing to the throat.
*1/4 cup dried herbs or 3 cups packed fresh herbs, washed & dried
1 quart of water
2 Tbs. honey
Combine the first two ingredients in an enamel sauce pan. Bring mixture
to a boil. Keep at a slow boil until the mixture has reduced by half.
Add the honey and mix well. Put in a glass jar and store in the
refrigerator for up to 1 month.
*An example of an herb to use is horehound, you would use the leaves and
take 1/2 to 1 tsp. up to 3 times a day. This helps relieve coughs,
colds, sore throats and bronchitis.
When you dig another out of their troubles, you find a place to bury your own. ~-Anonymous
Humidifier: (cool mist). Add from 3 to 9 drops of your chosen EO to the water of the humidifier. Run overnight, or add the essential oils two or three times a day, if running continuously. Please note, the essential oils can conceivably damage a humidifier. I've never had this happen, but it is a slight risk. This is an effective method if using the essential oils with a sick child, since there is not risk of danger from hot water, etc.
