When I came down with a cold recently, my friend Janet gave me some throat spray which really worked. The spray bottle held essential oils (Young Living) and distilled water. I don’t know what size the spray bottle was, but it wasn’t the tiniest. It was maybe 5 inches tall. In any case, here’s the recipe:

• 20 drops oregano
• 60 drops lavender
• 10 drops cinnamon
• 15 drops Mountain Savory
• A couple grains of salt
• Distilled water to fill the little spray bottle

We gave 5-6 sprays of this to the back of our throats and it really helped! Even my husband, who is naturally skeptical, thought it worked well.
