Nothing sounds any nicer, which sucks, although I guess the reason nothing sounds any nicer or more sophisticated is because no matter what you call it, it’s still pretty icky.

I have found a solution, though, to helping get rid of it and will share what works for me.  I first started doing this when I was sick and coughing up unspeakable guck.  But, because of my allergies, I regularly wake up to the thickness in my throat.  Sometimes I can’t even swallow it because it feels like it is dangling from the back of my mouth.  I told you it was gross!

What I had done in the past was take Fenugreek and Thyme herbs.  It worked really well, but I had to take a lot of capsules – I’m talking 8 at a time, a few times a day.  As you can imagine, I burned through a bottle really fast.

So, I did some research and found Cypress and Marjoram oils help.

Using an empty capsule, I fill it 9 drops of Cypress oil and 4 drops of Marjoram oil.  Depending on the size of your capsule, you might have extra room at the top.  Sometimes I’ll fill the extra room with a few drops of olive oil, but the most recent bag of capsules I bought seem to be smaller and it’s all I can do to put the essential oils in there.  But no matter, they’re the important part.
