It may not look like much, but it's the makings of the most effective sore throat medicine I know ... a vinegar maceration of Salvia aurea - indigenous brown Sage - mixed with raw fynbos honey. After infusing the sage in vinegar, it is filtered and mixed with the honey, left to settle and strained again. It is an old style herbal medicine called an oxymel and can be taken neat in spoonfuls and almost instantly soothes sore throats, while helping to kill off any microorganisms that may be contributing to the problem

My tea this morning: Mentha longifolia sbsp capensis - balderja. One of our 2 indigenous mints, it is typically aromatic and refreshing, calming and digestive. Also great for colds and viral infections, upset tummies and even period pains. The rest of this and more are going into glycerine to make a glycerite for use in my practice as an alcohol-free preparation for children
