That tickle in the throat, the feeling of rawness is the first signal for me that my body is fighting an intruder. Most cold-like sicknesses follow a similar pattern so paying attention and acting fast is important.
Do you have any strategies and tools in place to reach for when the need arises? Having a potent, artificial color and flavor free throat spray is one of those tools for me. It’s inspired by soft, velvety, cooling #sage, the classic throat/mouth helper. It will be joined by #echinacea angustifolia-one of the most overused and often misunderstood herbs. To this batch I added #calendula and #chamomile as well for their skin/mucus membrane healing attributes. And since the pines threw some twigs at me they became part of the formula. Wish I had some propolis tincture ready! 1 part Sage 1/2 part Calendula 1 part Chamomile 1/4 part Echinacea Angustifolia 1/2 part Pine Cover with glycerin (diluted with water: 60% glycerin, 40%water), leaving a 3/4" headspace in jar. Process in hot water bath for 15 minutes.
