yehudith--
In many N. Europen Countries there is the "magic" medicinal powers of "Groog"
(umlauts on both "O,s".. It is also believed to "cure" serious congestion,colds
and sore throats.
A cup of really hot tea
A Tbs. of Honey
Juice of one lemon
and a shot of your favorite Brandy.
Slowly sip while hot--and you will sweat it out when you go to bed and feel much
better the next day.

Gita, I've had your "magic" medicinal powers of "Groog" only it was a Tbs of whiskey not brandy. I was about 12 and suffering from fever and a miserable cough. My dad made me a strong tea with lemon, mint, and whiskey. Then he put me to bed with a large comforter over me and told me not to get up.The next morning the bed and I were soaked and the cough was gone. But then again they stuck tar plasters on my chest, it seemed like every winter for awhile to prevent it's return. Medieval medicine in the 20th century.LOL
