Home Made Cherry Cough Syrup
A friend told me her hubby says this works better then codeine. ;) Here is her blog for more information, pics and what each herb does in this wonderful syrup. http://concoctionsandwhatnot.blogspot.com/
Take 2 clean quart jars. In each jar put:
1/2 c. wild cherry bark
1/4 c. mullein
1/4 c. red raspberry leaf
2 T. lobelia
2 T. slippery elm
Stir all the herbs together then pour a little hot water over them to moisten. Then fill one jar with vodka, leaving about 1 inch headroom. Fill the other jar with glycerin. Put the lids tightly on the jars & shake. Store them in a dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jars once daily. After 2 weeks you can strain the herbs out & discard. Store the liquid in a dark jar and take as needed.
A dose is about 1 tablespoon
