Get Ready for Winter with Healing Herbal Teas

I highly recommend having the following herbs on hand as we enter the colder months. They each have unique properties that help combat viral & bacterial infections, respiratory illnesses, & digestive ailments. Place a tablespoon of each herb in a cup of boiling water, cover & steep for 10 mins. Add honey & 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for additional benefits & flavor! You can combine herbs to address several symptoms. Drink 3x a day, and sip water with whole food vitamin C in between your cups of tea. Vitamin C increases your white blood count to help your body overcome illness quicker.
