Friar's Balsam for Chronic Coughs, Wounds
Jane (Seattle, WA) on 01/22/2013:
Growing up in England in the 1930s, I remember that we used to use Friar's Balsam for cuts and minor wounds. It was also used for lingering coughs by inhaling a few drops in boiling water.
EC: Friar's Balsam is an ages-old herbal variation on tincture of benzoin.
