Hi, Theola. You might want to check out Nettle and/or Pau D'Arco.

Good for anemia, arthritis, hay fever and other allergic disorders, kidney problems, malabsorption syndrome Improves goiter, inflammatory conditions and mucuos conditions of the lungs.

Pau D'Arco: is a bitter herb that contains a natural antibacterial agent, cleanses the blood, has a healing affect.  Good for candidiasis, smoker's cough, warts and all types of infection.  Helpful for AIDS, allergies, cancer, cariovascular problems, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatism, tumors and ulcers.  Should NOT be taken for more than 7 days.

I am sitting here trying to remember whether I gave him Licorice
or Slippery Elm. Pretty sure it was Slippery Elm. You might want to do your homework on it also. :)

. Good luck,
Kath

Licorice:  Cleanses the colon, decreases muscular spasms, increases fluidity of mucus in the lungs and bronchial tubes, promotes adrenal gland function.  Has estrogen and progesterone-like effects; may change the pitch of the voice.  Also stimulates the production of interferon.  Beneficial for allergic disorders, asthma, chronic fatigue, depression, emphysema, fever, hepesvirus infection, hypoglycemia and inflammatory bowel disorders.  Deglycyrrhizinated licorice may stimulate natural defense mechanisms that prevent the occurrence of ulcers by increasing the amount of mucus-secreting cells in the digestive tract.  This improves the quality of mucus, lenghtens intestinal cell life and enhances microcirculation in the gastrointestinal lining.

Caution:  Should not be used during pregnancy or by persons with diabetes, glaucom, heart disease, high blood pressure, severe menstrual problems or a history of stroke.  Also, should not be used on a daily basis for more than seven days in a row, as this can result in high blood pressure in persons with previously normal blood pressure

Slippery Elm:  Soothes inflamed mucous membranes of the bowels, stomach and urinary tract.  Good for diarrhea and ulcers and for treatment of colds, flu, and sore throat.

Hope this helps.
