This is an article about what worked for me.  This is not medical advice.  You are responsible for what you do with this info, not me.  I’m just sharing what worked for me.

Saturday evening I got sick.  I had a fever and the worst sore throat I’ve had in years.

Sunday morning I was worse!  I didn’t even get to attend worship service.

So, of course, I Googled “natural remedy sore throat” or something like that.

I love using herbal remedies for minor maladies, but when I am sick I want something that is gonna help RIGHT NOW.

So I scanned a bunch of info and came up with a recipe that used only stuff I had in the house, and seemed common sense-ical.

I made a cup of beef broth and added a few things to it.  I put the whole recipe on Homemade and Wholesome.  I alternated a cup of the beefed up broth with cups of Celestial Seasonings Echinacea tea and cups of Traditional Medicinals Breathe Easy tea.  Adding a vitamin c tablet every 3 hours or so.

I have to be careful because I am prone to pneumonia and sinus infections.  So any time I get sick I try to nip it, right away.

In between cups of hot beverages I drank huge glasses of water.

I was feelin’  better by Monday afternoon.

Another herbal remedy that has worked well for us is using Chamomile tea for pink-eye.  Google “herbal remedy pink eye” and see what you find.  I was amazed how fast The Princess got relief the first time we used it.
