Winter Tea
Boneset
Echinacea
Peppermint
Just use equal parts of each, or pre-made tea bags...3 bags, 1 of
boneset,1 of echinacea, and 1 of peppermint.
|
The echinacea works as an immune system builder, the boneset is
great for congestion, aches and fever (the classic flu symptoms), and
the peppermint aids with any stomach complaints due to drainage
from the sinuses, and just works as a great overall "feel-good".
