[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 374974, member: 1991"] I make what I call Asian-style chicken stock. it's better for sick tummies as well as for breaking a fever; instead of the usual European herbs for seasoning, I leave out the herbs, leave out the ginger and instead put in a couple of star anise chunks and several slices of raw ginger root. Salt to taste - don't cook it unsalted, or you end up adding even more salt later, than you would have it you used salt originally. I also sometimes make a small bouquet garni bag and put in a few Szechuan peppercorns. Don't just toss them in, unless you plan to strain the stock. Biting into a peppercorn is not pleasant! A dash of sesame oil before serving is loaded with Vitamin E and adds to the Asian flavour. I find it refreshing, and the ginger is known to break a fever as well as help clear the head a little. Also if head-clearing is on the agenda, try a little eucalyptus oil or lavender oil on a hankie. I make up my own "breathe easy" mix with eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, ti-tree oil and lavender oil. A drop on the pyjama collar works wonders at bed time. Marg [/QUOTE]
