Common culinary sage (Salvia officinalis) can help to ease sore throats and dry up sinuses.

How to use: For a sore throat, make a strong tea by pouring 4 ounces of water over 2 teaspoons of dried or fresh sage. Set your Zen Timer with Chime for 10-15 minutes, steep and strain. Cool to room temperature. Gargle until the mixture is gone. Repeat three times daily. For drippy sinuses, drink a cup of regular-strength sage tea.
