Herbal Teas: Gearing up for Flu Season


TEA REMEDY RECIPE FOR THE FLU AND THE COMMON COLD
1 tsp. Sage 
1 tsp. Peppermint 
1 tsp. Yarrow
1 tsp. Ginger to taste (don’t be shy) 
A sprig of thyme.   

Make a pot of this up at a time and drink every few hours. Raw Honey is also great to add as it is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and is a great antioxidant.
This tea has a mixture of herbs to assist with sweating, relieving muscle spasms, clearing mucus, microbes and increasing circulation.  All these actions helps your body feel better and clear the fever sooner. Make sure you are covered-up in layers when using this tea as it opens up your pores.

You can find Yarrow at specialty Herbs Stores or Natural Foods Stores like Whole Foods or Sunflower Market.  
HOT TIP OF THE WEEK:  Make sure you are steeping your tea for at least 7 minutes to get the most potent brew possible.
