PK is right about the vinegar. It's a general mucous cleaner. Apple vinegar works best. Drink a cup or more a day straight. People think they are bigtime when they take a shot of Jack Daniels... wait til you see what you can handle after a few drinks of vinegar!
I used to get a really bad infection that kills me under the tongue and behind the ear about once a year until I went to the best herbalist in NYC. He told me to use REAL powdered goldenseal and REAL powdered myrrh boiled down together into a tea.
That visit was 4 years ago. Since then I haven't had even a cold for more than 2 days. At the first sign of a cold or under the tongue pain I drink that concoction and drink at least a gallon of water over the course of the day. V8 Splashers instead of water works even better.
1 heaping tablespoon of goldenseal and 1 level teaspoon of myrrh with 1 1/2 cups of water simmered down to 1/2 cup is the recipe.
Let me warn you, it tastes even worse than the vinegar but you will be clean as a whistle. So clean you might even pass a drug test or two!
