In the winter time, since the air is colder, it does not hold as much moisture, so heating that already depleted air REALLY made it dry. What we would do is put a big pot of water on top of the heating stove to heat it and evaporate it. I used to chuck a couple of sassafras roots into the pot, so it did double duty of humidifying the air and making sassafras tea at the same time - and you couldn't beat the sassafras scent that it filled the air with!

And that is a great cure for waking up with a dry mouth and/or a headache. In winter when I wake up in the morning I take the pot of water off the stove, make myself a coffee, refill and put back on the stove to reheat the water. If the pot boils dry I know because I feel dry and have a headache. Good tip to pass on Nin. I have never used sassafras root.
Does that go well with a strong coffee?
