In Thuna Herbals, row upon row of apothecary jars. Very Dickensian, very reassuring. I throw myself on the mercy of the affable Roger, who prepares a magical blend to cure my neverending chest cold: licorice root, marshmallow root, thyme, hibiscus flower, fenugreek seed, elecampame root, and peppermint leaf.
Later at home, a cup of ruby-red tea
steeps on the windowsill.

It sounds quite delicious, except for the elecampame root which sounds made up. May Thuna Herbals come through for you!
I added a lump of sugar.
Do warm wishes from the bottom of the world help?
I bet it tastes like spinach. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Better?
Sounds pretty, if not delicious. (not a fan of fenugreek -- had enough of that when I was nursing).
Hope you feel better.
This witch's brew appears to be working.
Yay! Witches brew!
It's nice to be able to offer your cure as a poem.
marshmallow root??? really???
Yes indeed. Good for what ails ya.
