It sounds a little bit like something your grandmother might say when frustrated. “Oh good gargle!” :-) Here’s another home health remedy, presumably for a sore throat. The powdered elm I believe would be powdered slippery elm bark. This is known for its treatment of coughs, sore throat, colic, diarrhea, constipation, and many other ailments. Seek guidance from your physician before using this recipe – I am making no medical claims here.
Good Gargle
1 package powdered elm
1 package sage tea
Gargle every 10 minutes
