My wife had terrible migraine headaches since she was a child. I heard that rescue 1250 eliminated migraines. She started taking it and they gradually went away. It was years later that she noticed and we talked about it.

It not only soothes a sore throat, it seems to calm a cough. And I have found that if I have digestive distress, it helps that, too, probably because it has slippery elm bark and licorice root in it. Good stuff.
I fixed myself a cup of it this morning even though I am fine just because I love the taste. It is worth keeping a box of this tea in the house!
Happy New Year! May 2026 be your best year yet!

The aloe vera gel usually has enough preservative in to maintain the mixture without refrigerating. What is unknown is how long the melatonin itself will maintain potency and that is part of the reason I only suggested making 3 ounces at a time, so it would get used up before going bad. Melatonin does breakdown once it is in a solution, that much is known.
To date, I have not had a batch go bad or noticeably lose potency, but I have only tested up to the 3 month to 4 month range. If I were to apply it and not notice any benefit in terms of pain relief for something that it would normally help, I would probably discard the mix and make a new one, especially if the mix was more than 4 months old.
