remedies?

[Ceri]

My poor daughter has just gone down with what is probably glandular fever - awaiting results, but looking pretty likely.  No cure, just wait it out - anyone know of any herbal/homeopathic remedies that would soothe?  The poor girl is a wreck - and supposed to be going to Uni in 3 weeks.  I had it at 14 and was off school (and life!) for three months so I'm really hoping she has a lighter bout.

Hi Cerig, sorry to hear about your daughter, GF is the glands in the neck swollen am I right.
So in a compress you can use Ladys Mantle/Dewcup reduces infam.
Wrap around a hot compress of Sage or Thyme keep warm and in place with a scarf.sooths a sore throat.
Drop of Lavender oil or eucalyptus oil to reduce painful swelling.
Last on is tincture or ointment of calendula this also soothes.
hope this helps :-/ Teresa

Hi Theresa, you are right, and I'll have a go - I've got loads of sage and thyme in the garden so I'll get brewing!  Many thanks
