Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 I would think slippery elm tea, but I don't know how easy that is for him; maybe lozenges!? There's a company that I've heard several people worked well that is made by a company out in Doc's neck of the woods, but i haven't tried it; it's called " Singer's Saving Grace " and comes in a spray. In Health, Steve ----------------------------- I had a preacher come in today looking for something to take before, during or after preaching that would releive the soreness that comes from extended, enthusiastic speaking. It seems that this should be so obvious that I just can't see the forest for the trees. My favorite remedy for a sore throat is a very strong sage and lemon tea with a little honey in it, but he's looking for something he could just put in his water on the pulpit or perhaps an oil infusion he could put a drop of in his mouth during the sermon. The only thing I can think of is to dilute some peppermint eo in safflower oil and have him put a drop or two in his mouth before beginning his sermon.. . or even after he's finished. Any ideas out there? -- Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Why can't he make (or buy) some of the sage in a tincture and add that and some lemon to his water beforehand? Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 The classic " speaker's friend " is licorice root. Simply chew slowly on a little piece about the size of a peppercorn, until all the juice is gone. The main drawback is that this stuff is hard on the gums. Also doing too much at once as a tea can cause the " hershey squirts " .

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 [very big grin] Thanks Steve. I got on the net and did a wee bit of research into this product. When I found what all was in it and started researching the properties of Collinsonia I discovered that Mullein has a lot of properties that take care of sore throat, tonsillitis, etc. I've used it for sinisitus, colds and bronchitis, but didn't think about it in this application. The great news is I *have Mullein tincture. He can put it in his water before hand. I may look into adding peppermint, and/or putting it into a spray bottle of some kind.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 I have used the singers saving grace and it contains slippery elm in the lozenges. I have not tried the spray, It works pretty good on a tired sore throat.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Just finished a morning meditation which I pulled Tourmaline-Black. It was suggested that perhaps you have someone around you who doesn't have your best interest at heart. It indicates for me that this person is affecting several areas in your life, and suggests that you take in what you need for your own health and well being. It was followed by Scolecite, which suggests to me that you should look arounds you and look at your life patterns, be aware you have freedom of choice, and whether you choose to stay where you are at, or enjoy the freedom of the spirit. In confirmation to what Maureen posted, I too got Sugalite for my headache, have had one for a couple of days because I need to go to my chiropracter. It appears as though I have a chranial (?) fault, and my neck needs adjusting. I finished with the Tourmalinated Quartz which tells me that I have to a lot of areas in my life causing me strife, and I have to take a look at who I choose to have around me, resolve conflicts and release some of the negativity around me.
