Cough got you down?
If you or anyone you know is experiencing a cough right now (and many people I am in contact with are) try my Cough It Up! Tincture for fast acting relief. I am always amazed how quickly it breaks up the phlegm. I know it is gross, but if you can get it out of your system from your mouth, the mucus doesn't go into your digestive system, too. Try to stay away from dairy and orange juice, but dose up on Vitamin C & D and drink lots of hot water. If you have thyme, oregano, sage rosemary, or hyssop growing in your yard, pick it and make a tea with it. You can put the stems in a pot of hot water and then put a towel over your head and inhale it up. Hyssop is the main expectorant, but the other herbs are all good for respiratory issues.
