I have been doing Clinical Herbal Medicine for over 35 years, and I decided it was very important to get these written down and get them out to the World!

Formulas will be categorized by Systems like: Immune System, Nervous System, Digestive System, etc., etc...

Here is an example:

DEMULTICITY  

Marshmallow Root - Althaea officinalis 5 parts

Comfrey Leaf - Symphytum officinale 3 parts

Chamomile Flowers - Matricaria recutita 3 parts

Calendula Flowers - Calendula officinalis 2 parts

Rose Hips - Rosa canina 2 parts

Hibiscus - Hibiscus sabdariffa 1 parts

Licorice Root - Glycyrrhiza glabra 1/2 parts

Spearmint - Mentha spicata 1/2 parts

Parts can be anything you want them to be … pinches, teaspoons, or actual weighed measurements. 

Mix all together -

Best used as cold infusion, meaning take two heaping tablespoons of the complete mixed tea and to a quart of water cold water, shake or stir and then put in the fridge and let steep for at least 6 hours before use. 

One can make a hot tea, but remember hot water lessens the medicinal quality of the tea.   Drink a quart a day to restore tired and inflamed mucous membranes.

Another One:

TONSILITIS FORMULA (Gargle)

Red Root - Ceanothus spp. 4 parts
Myrrh - Commiphora spp. 2 parts
Barberry - Berberis vulgaris 2 parts
or
Oregon Grape Root - Mahonia spp. 2 parts
(Barberry & Oregon Grape Rt. are interchangeable)

This is a formula that my teacher Michael Moore taught us in the early 1990's. I have not been able to improve upon it in the least ... works wonders on swollen and infected tonsils!

Make from the individual tinctures/extracts, and add 5% glycerin.

Take 1/2 teaspoon in a small 1/2 cup of warm salt water (put a pinch of salt in the cup of water) add the 1/2 teaspoon of combined extracts in the salty water, and gargle for a minute or two. Repeat every few hours. I spit the gargle water out after gargling.

I also recommend you take 30 drops, 5 times a day of the DEEP IMMUNE - ETI #1 Formula internally. It is a good idea to boost your immune system while fighting Tonsilitis (which is often a Strep infection).

Also, try and take 5 grams of Vitamin C a day in this overall approach.

Cut back on most sugars ... Strep bacteria proliferates when fed sugar!
