It works wonderfully well when you have a really bad sore throat (tonsillitis) and/or laryngitis.

Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons sage leaves
(or you can use marjoram, thyme, or hyssop
instead of the sage)
Salt

Directions:
Pour the boiling water over the sage leaves, cover and steep for about 20 minutes or so. Strain out the leaves and add the salt (I usually add about 1 Tablespoon, but you can use as much, or as little as you want.)

Use this mixture to gargle whenever you feel the need. I usually use it about every 3 hours or so, depending upon how bad the sore throat is. If you keep this mixture in the fridge, it'll usually last about 3 days
