ECHINACEA has a beneficial effect on the immune system, as well as a numbing effect on the throat. Add the antiseptic properties of cloves and sage, and the cooling effect of peppermint and you have an excellent remedy.

You’ll need: 3 cloves 5 peppermint leaves, finely chopped 5 sage leaves, finely chopped 30 ml echinacea (from health food shops) PLACE the cloves, peppermint and sage leaves in a small glass bowl, then add the echinacea tincture. Cover and leave to stand for two weeks in a cool, dark place. Gradually, the colour will change. Strain the liquid through a looseweaved muslin placed in a strainer, squeezing all the liquid from the herbs by hand
