* 2 c. turbinado sugar
* 1 c. strong herbal tea
* 3/4 c. light corn syrup
* 1/4 t essential oils
Making the tea:
These cough drops are a way to use some of the herbs you have grown or that you find growing near you. I go out and collect everything that is abundant and have properties that are good for cough drops (expectorant, anti-microbial, mucilaginous). Some herbs I have used are Elecampane, Thyme, Sage, Echinacea, Marshmallow, Angelica, Elder Flowers, Mullein and Comfrey.
I collect everything and throw all the roots in a pot and simmer these for about 30 minutes then throw in the leafy herbs and simmer some more. I start with about 1 quart of water. After the herbs have simmered for 10 minutes or so I cool it down and strain out the herbs then put the tea back on the stove and simmer until the volume of liquid is reduced to 1 cup.

* Chamomile - 10 drops
* Eucalyptus Globulus - 10 drops
* Lavender - 10 drops
* Rosemary 10 drops
* Tea Tree - 10 drops
Mix all oils together in an amber bottle. Use 3-4 drops in a bowl of steaming water. You do not need to inhale directly, just let the steamy water, moisturize the air and send the essential oils throughout the room.
If you prefer you can mix 10-15 drops in 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of Sweet Almond and after mixing well, apply the back, chest and throat area. This will help relieve coughs and congestion.

Information on Ear Infections in Children
Ear Infections are a very common complaint in young children and it is estimated that 10 million children are treated for a middle Ear Infection (Otitis Media) in the US each year.
Middle Ear Infections affect the area behind the ear drum and a build-up of fluid and pus behind the ear drum leads to raised pressure, pain and decreased hearing.
Infection in the outer ear canal, called Otitis Externa, can also cause inflammation, pain, discharge from the ear and itchiness. Ear infections are most common in children between the ages of six months and three years.
There are a number of possible causes of ear infections and bacteria, viruses and fungi can all be to blame. Colds and Allergies may also have a role to play when they cause inflammation of the Eustachian tube, blocking normal drainage of the ear and leading to middle Ear Infection.
