Original Schwedenkrauter (Maria Treben Swedish Herb Mixture) by

I have been using this stuff since the 1960's. We have always brought a few packages of the dry herbs back with us after a visit to Germany. We use a bottle of vodka to mix the herbs with. After a few weeks on the kitchen window sill, we strain it and it's ready to drink. The info on the video clip is good: mix a one or two spoons of the product with water or tea. The video presenter says "you have to get used to it" My comment: It tastes like diaper squeezings, but it really works. NEVER let it pass your lips if not mixed with water, tea or a bit of sugar. Whenever I get a cold, sore throat, diarhea I take a dose of it. Within a day, the problem is cured. I also rub it on scrapes, cuts or insect bites. I don't use it on a daily basis, only when needed. A 30 gram packet mixed with a 5th of vodka lasts me three or four years.
