Tea For Coughing Fits
1 1/3 oz. St. John's Wort
2/3 oz. Thyme
2/3 oz. Linden Flowers
Use 1 tsp. of the herb mixture per cup of boiling water to soothe irritations of the upper respiratory tract that cause coughing. Steep for 5-10 min., strain, sweeten with honey for added benefit. This tea has proved helpful with bronchitis and whooping cough.
The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

For an invigorating bath, gather together three to four sprigs of fresh lemon basil, lavender, jasmine and rosemary. Tie this bouquet with twine or ribbon and hang from your faucet over the tub. Run steamy hot water over the herbs. Then add a few drops of bergamot essential oil to the bathwater. Feel tension melt away as you breath in the fresh aromas.
