Throat

Sage Drink sage tea for a sore throat, and inhale sage infused steam (add tea to the vaporizer). Sage will help open nasal and head passages.

Vinegar Apply an apple cider vinegar compress to the throat, and bind it with a larger wool compress. This relieves even the most painful sore throat. Another useful combination is apple cider vinegar, wintergreen oil, and a tiny bit of cayenne pepper. Prepare 1/2cup of apple cider vinegar. Add a teaspoon of wintergreen oil and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Soak strips of a brown paper bag (in case no cloths are available) in this preparation. Place the folded bag strip or wet cloth around the neck. Apply another dry wool cloth or, if that is not available, a large, double strip of brown paper or plastic to keep out the air.
