I use natural peppermint tea for upset stomach. I grow peppermint in a window box. Take a handful of mint leaves, wash and boil for 5 minutes. Let cool or add an ice cube to cool quickly. Strain the leaves out, add a teaspoon of sugar and sip slowly. Works every time. Another good remedy is lemon juice, water and honey for sore throat. Mix 1/2 lemon, in warm water, and add honey to taste. Sip slowly and it will soothe a sore throat.
