Sore Throat Remedy

"I don't remember where this came from, we have been using it for so long. But my family and friends have had great success using this. My sons tonsils were soo swollen that he could not swallow his own saliva, had to go to er to get IV from dehydration, and dr. said that his tonsils needed to come out. He constantly had sore throats. Well he still has his tonsils, and is not bothered by sore throats anymore. This mixture is suppose to kill 99% of bacteria."

  1. Wish I could try this, but I don't have any sage; however, I thought I would add my two cents. Sage is a well known medicinal herb which is loaded with tannins and is an antiseptic. The tannins have a soothing effect and the antiseptic kills off the germs. I was also wondering if you usually swollowed it or spit it out after gargling?
     
  2. I just made this - stinking sore throat, cough... Gargled one time so far, and sore throat is reduced by at least 75%... I'll gargle again in a couple of hours.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have always loved to cook. This got me into trouble with my wieght, because I loved to eat what I cooked. I am now a weight watcher, I have to lighten most recipes. My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home & Taste of Home Light. MY pet peeve is boxed dinners. I do love simple and quick though. I have 3 grown sons, one is in last semester of college, one is married and a new baby is on the way, so I will be grandma in January. My daughter-in-law hates to cook, they order prepared food off the internet, that makes me crazy. ha. I love animals, but right now only have one dog. A bloodhound. She is so loveable, I would recommend this breed to anyone as long as you have patience, but they are one of the most loving breeds out there.My married son has 3 lab. retrievers,a baby will be easy after those 3 monsters, as I lovingly called them when they were pups. My oldest son has a Rottwieller. I have had 3 Rotts, they have all pasted, buy they are a really great breed. They are so smart and loveable, I guess that's why people who chose to make them bad, can do so, all they want to do is please their owners. My real passion is shoes, shoes, shoes. I also love jewelry, but shoes, shoes, shoes,!!!!! Update I am finally grandma to the prettiest baby girl ever. She was born on Jan. 15, her name is Mariah. She is perfect!
