CherryThyme Cough Soothe

(1 oz, 2 oz & 4 oz )

CherryThyme Cough Soothe, Calming Cough Glycerite:

This is a yummy herbal cough remedy that tastes so good it can be used with even young children and adults alike.

Glycerites are well-known in their ability to preserve the medicinal volatile oils from the herbs used - like Thyme in this formula - and likely contributes to why this formula works so well. (Volatile oils are the aromatic scents you smell from certain herbs like Thyme and Peppermint. Not only do the volatile oils smell wonderful - they are medicine themselves. Out of all the solvents we use for herbal medicine like alcohol, water and oil, glycerin extracts volatile oils the best).

***Thyme might be the most underused and helpful kitchen medicinal herbs around, helpful for almost all infections including respiratory, digestive and urinary tract infections, and can help clear the sinuses, and relieves the coughing reflex.

This formula also includes Wild Cherry Bark. Wild Cherry bark has long been helpful support for coughs, especially those spasming, unproductive coughs, and is why we still use cherry in commercial cough syrups today. Milky Oat seed is included in this formula to add a bit of moistening to this formula and for the exhaustion and irritability that often accompanies hacking coughs. Elecampane soothes both a dry and wet cough and is a bitter that helps keep the digestive fires going during colds and flu. Anise is also an aromatic herb, so the volatile oils from Anise act to help clear the respiratory tract. Skullcap (American) is added for its superb nervine properties, that are so helpful when dealing with a constant cough and fighting off pathogens.

I also have added organic, tart, unsweetened cherry juice concentrate. Cherry juice is chock full of antioxidants and is most well-known for its melatonin content, so this added juice helps soothe, calm and can help with sleep too if that is what is needed. A wonderful calming remedy not just for coughs, but for frayed nerves as well, and very tasty.

+++++INFORMATION ABOUT MY TINCTURES+++++

I'm so excited to now offer tinctures, syrups, elixirs, vinegars and more remedies on my Etsy site! And I'm offering these items for a great deal less than others are selling these items. Why? For a few reasons.

To begin, as a certified clinical herbalist for many years now, I have accumulated a very large apothecary. I am now needing to reduce the size of my apothecary.

Another reason, because many of these tinctures and remedies have been created through the many classes I teach. I have to mix up the formula BEFORE the class, then we create the formula again IN class, and every time, I have quite a bit of the finished formula left over. Which I have used these additional remedies in my own home medicine cabinet for years, but now I just have TOO much plant medicine for my family to use alone. So I offer these remedies to you at this superb discount so that you too can use herbal remedies in a cost effective manner. I'm well-trained (and teach many classes) on the proper weight to volume tincture creation for each herb, and I research Moore, Tilgner, Buhner, Easley, Cech and others to decide which percentage of alcohol is best for each herb. My herbs almost exclusively organic and the few I can't get organically, are wildcrafted. The herbs are also continually rotated through, so I never have old, useless herbs being used as medicine.

One reason is that I want to carry a few tinctures and remedies that I use quite often with my own clients. So some medicines I want to be cost effectively available for my clientele.

And lastly, in addition to tinctures and remedies from my classes and for clients, I also grow what is getting to be a large herb garden at my home. I mostly grow herbs for my herbal products to be infused in oils, but some herbs I just grow because I am fascinated with them, or I want to see all the stages of growth from the beginning to end of a particular herb. And often once I harvest these herbs, I'll put them directly into alcohol to make a tincture. And it usually makes a LOT! A perfect example of this is my elecampane tincture. I watched and watered and grew this plant for two beautiful years, so I could harvest the 2nd year root. It was a fascinating experience as I watched this plant grow more than 7 feet tall, gorgeous yellow flowers blooming and when I dug up the root, which took help from my husband and kids, there was SO MUCH root. So I put it all in alcohol and now have the most incredible brownish rose colored tincture to sell here on Etsy. So much love goes into these tinctures and remedies - but take advantage of these medicines now! As the tinctures with my handwritten ingredients on them, likely won't be replenished. Once I sell out, I likely won't make more. Green Blessings to you and hope you enjoy the magick of herbal medicine!
