Cough-Away Tincture

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. mullein leaf
  • 1/2 tbsp. echinacea
  • 1/2 tbsp. elderberry
  • 1 tbsp. marshmallow root
  • 1/4 cup vegetable glycerin
  • 1/4 cup filtered water

Instructions

  • Combine all the herbs in a 4-oz. glass jar.
  • Add the glycerin and water.
  • Put a lid on the jar and shake to combine.
  • Place the jar in a cool, dark place for six weeks. Shake occasionally.
  • Strain through a piece of cloth, discarding the herbs and retaining the liquid. Store in a dark brown glass bottle with a dropper.

Notes

To make the "Cough-Away" work, give 5-10 drops for kids under 6 or 10-20 drops for older kids and adults as needed.  I like to mix tinctures with a bit of juice to make them easier to take.
