Your friends don’t know what they’re missing. I have such a sense of freedom and empowerment when I know I can care for myself in non life threatening situations which, thankfully, most ailments are.

Phlegm- I immediately thought of ginger tea or garlic in honey, among others. Then I searched for what herbs help with phlegm, and many sites popped up. One said tea made with thyme or peppermint helps. I grow both of those, so good to know! My favorite, though, is to take a piece of ginger root, mince it up, pour hot water over it, add a little honey, and sip it slowly. I also breathe in the steam coming out of the cup by putting my hands around the top of the cup and resting my face in my hands. I do that until it’s cooled enough to sip. I’d love it if it would work for you instead of having to rely on a pharmaceutical drug.

I am a ginger tea addict, and make it exactly the way you do! I think it may be an anti inflammatory but it's not really been well studied.

The NAC is pretty benign. There aren't many meds that I can use so I was glad to find this one!
