Yes, but the directions state "Gargle, dilute, for mouth and throat ailments. No harm if swallowed." Feels like Prohibition medicine instructions.

A pleasure to meet you!

Part of the reason I do what I do is the horrible cancer experience. Left my heartbreaking career in corporate marketing to study and teach history, and now I have a huge antique bottle collection. I couldn't be happier with my weird career path.

I really do. I "own" a collection of 5,000 antique bottles.

The numbers have rebounded a bit. Still low, but signs that whatever the issue was is clearing. I live to fight another day...
