I AM SICK...
I am sick and I hate being sick, the one thing I hate more than being sick is being sick with a sore throat. I just wasn't going to settle this time around with a sore throat. I asked my mom to bust out the salt water for me to gargle. I have only tried this once in my life, and I hated it so much I swore I would never do it ever again, and would rather go through the pain of a sore throat. Well yesterday I put down my pride, and I did it, I gargled with that gross salt water, and guess what?! It didn't work! I went to work still with a sore throat. I came home looking for something else to help. My recent trip to Amvets brought me home with a new book on healing herbs. I oped the book and found the section for sore throats.. here is what I found....
"If your throat is infected and mucusy, I recommend gargling with teas made from infection fighting, inflammation-soothing herbs such as sage, thyme, goldenseal, echinacea, or myrrh." says Upton - The Women's book of Healing Herbs secrets from 90 top herbal healers
So I then looked through my kitchen to see what I could find. I found thyme. I followed the recipe on how to make the homemade tea, and made it in 2 minutes. I then gargled my lil life away with that tea, and instantly after I did this my throat was soothed, no more sore throat!! Still today, I woke up with a fine throat, a little scratchy, but not sore! HALLELUJAH!!!!! I gargled a glass today too though just in case ;)
If you want to know more details on what to do and such let me know!
