Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 To help with pain, gargle with warm water and a drop or two of clove EO- start with a single drop, though, for clove is a hot oil;^) Our youngest son used this for throat pain successfully, in fact, it's what my Grandma used for toothaches long ago.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Our family always uses Grape Fruit Seed Extract. We use a couple of drops in a cup of warm water and gargle. It's also good to swallow a little of it (very bitter tasting though!) Grapefruit Seed Extract is known for its antimicrobial qualities and kills strep and staff. Also, when we just start to feel a sore throat coming on we spray Herb Pharm's Propolis/Echinacea herbal throat spray on it. Sage tea is good, too. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 I am not a Dr. but one must use an antibiotic for streep. Untreated streep can lead to dangerous complications. This is not a play around with matter, especially with your children. Re: OT strep remedies? > Thanks everyone!!! I am on my way to the kitchen now to get started.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 That is true. strep can lead to rheumatic (excuse the spelling) fever. It was me that has it, if it were one of the little ones they would have been rushed to the Dr. It turns out that I have tonsillitis. I went to the DR today and they did the 'rapid test,' lol. The DR said she still felt that it was strep by the appearance of it. DH and the boys are getting a kick out of the lack of voice I have. They put me on antibiotics. I look forward to waking up one day without pain! I was hoping I would get lucky over the weekend and something would kick but no luck :-( I can't remember the name, but there is supposed to be an herbal thing out there that starts with an E that is supposed to be or be like an antibiotic. I had wanted to ask her about it. I guess that is where voice mail comes in, lol.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Echinacea (excuse my spelling, too) is very good for colds, if you catch them before strep sets in. There is a product called " Cold-Eeze " that contains it and Zinc and they really make you feel better in a day or so. Good luck, and take care of yourself!! Re: OT strep remedies?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 That would be Echinacea. Echinacea and Golden Seal are an excellent immune and antibiotic you can get these in capsules or Tintures . I find that that the tinctures work faster and I give It to our grandchildren when they are sick in about an inch of juice three times aday. Hope this helps God Bless and get well fast. Sharon Also gargle with sea salt three times aday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hi, We use Olive Leaf Extract when we get sick or if we feel we are getting sick. From what I've read it is like a natural antibiotic. We also use something from Wisdom of the Ages, called Advantage Liquid Concentrate. It's antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. It has Grapefruit seed extract, Jasmine tea, and green tea. It tastes nasty but is great for sore throats, allergies, etc. I hope you feel better soon. Ann Re: OT strep remedies?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Was it just me that read that the person who asked this question could not get to her doctor till Wednesday cause he was not going to be in the office???? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall that anyone ever said it was her CHILDREN that were sick, it was the poster herself who was sick and wanted some relief until she could get to see her doctor. Just for your information, I make toiletries and soap. I am also studying to for my certification to be an herbalist and an Aromatherapist, so I do not see that her question was all that off topic. True, it was not about making toiletries, but she did have the courtesy to state that it was an OT question. As previously stated I would rather someone ask then to use herbs and/or essential oils blindly, which can cause MUCH more harm than good if used incorrectly! (a coworker of mine was using an aromathrapy treatment for her headache and had a terrible reaction to the eo's. I asked her about it and the oils she used were the correct ones, and she had applied them to the correct areas, but she did not know that she needed to dilute them first! If she had asked me I would have told her, but she thought it was a stupid question. She had to take benadryl and use a topical cream from the doctor for days to get the rash down enough for her to not try and claw her skin off!) As for OT questions, I have no problem with them, if I'm not interested I delete it. This is strictly my $0.02 and make no claims to be the voice of anyone else.
