Teas for Winter Ailments

Posted by admin

Colds and Flu Tea

1 oz Blackberry leaves

1 oz Elder flowers

1 oz Linden flowers

1 oz Peppermint leaves

 

Pour 1 cup boiling water over 2 tbs mixture. Cover & steep 10 minutes; strain.

 

Colds and Hoarseness Tea

2 oz Malva flowers

1 ½ oz Mullein flowers

Use 2 tbs of mixture per 1 cup hot water. Steep 10 minutes; strain.

Drink only 2 - 3 cups per day for just a few days.

 

 

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”.

 

Coughing Fits Tea

1 1/3 oz. St. John’s Wort

2/3 oz. Thyme

2/3 oz. Linden Flowers

Use 1 tsp. of the herb mixture per cup of boiling water to soothe irritations of the upper respiratory tract that cause coughing. Steep for 5-10 min., strain, sweeten if necessary. This tea has proved helpful with bronchitis and whooping cough.
