Myrrh Infusion
1 teaspoon myrrh
1 pint boiling water
Can be taken internally for bad breath or loose teeth. The dose is one teaspoonful four or five times a day. It can be used in combination with purple coneflower and other herbs to treat streptococcus infections.
A rhododendron bud lavender-tipped. Soon a glory of blooms to clash with the cardinals and gladden the hummingbirds!

Sage (Salvia officinalis): Sage is considered sacred by many tribes. Sage leaves used as a tea are good for sore throat, and congestion. It also helps out with bowel problems. You can make the tea by adding 2 teaspoons of fresh or dried leaves to 2 cups of boiling water. Steep. I don't know about others, but I keep a small bundle of sage handy. When my nose feels congested, I hold the bundle to my nose and inhale deeply. This provides me about 4 or 5 hours of free breathing.
