Ouzo for sore throat
A Greek doc told me an old recipe of the shepherds:
If the throat is suppurated, wrap a piece of gauze bandage around your finger and dip in Ouzo. Then bread the whole with granulated sugar. Then be brave and wring your neck as often as possible until no more pus or pad sticks to the gauze bandage. (Or until the gagging has overwhelmed you * G *)
Experience shows that one is then fit again.
Tip: is also applicable to children, one is not drunk from the little ouzo. (At least 18 years ago I had the experience in Crete and there I was 8)
