Herbal Supplementation
"As a kid, when I got a cold, sore throat or flu, the first treatment was almost always &quot;mountain tea&quot;, or Pennyroyal.  My Mother&#039;s Grandmother or my Father picked some every year on the mountain north of our home.  The tea relieved congestion and was always soothing.  It also made you pee a lot!
I learned to find, pick and dry it; so my kids also got the same treatment.  I&#039;m 75 and still have dried Pennyroyal on the shelf.
This is potent.  Don&#039;t overdo it.  3 or 4 cups a day for the first two or three days of a cold is all you need.  I use about 3/4 of a teaspoon to a cup of almost boiling water; steep 4 - 5 minutes and strain."
