Gargle, Spit, Repeat...

​When you have a boy and his sister and a van and a pencil, well, you get to expect strange injuries. For scratched up uvulas (or gums, tongues, and other such things), my go-to uses the most basic of herbs. A strong infusion of chamomile and calendula, with a couple drops of clove essential oil brings quick relief and healing of swelling and scrapes. The clove is an old remedy for toothaches, though it is very strong and must be diluted, especially for kids. Store the infusion in a glass Mason jar, shake well before using, gargle, spit, and carry on!

I know someone who swallows after he gargles mouthwash. It's so funny I caught myself laughing alone while reading this. I can't understand what you're saying anymore because I can't remove his image from my head. I am sure it will be a different story with mouthwash or anything that stings. Maybe some leaves with salt will be enough to help him kick the bad habit. If it's just water, even if it's tap water, he swallows it. I am surprised he doesn't get him to the E.R. or something. Maybe the water from their faucet is clean.
