Herbal tea for common colds.

[Guest guest]

Ha, ha, just like Joan.....I'm not recommending anyone do anything! When I feel a cold coming on, I place a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a tsp. of ground sage, place it in a cup then add one whole bay leaf, pour boiling water over it and let it steep for about 10 minuets, sweeten and drink! This looks horrible but it tastes great, and if taken early enough, it has aborted my common colds! Oh remove the bay leaf before drinking it...you leave the cinnamon, and sage to let it settle to the bottom. About 3 cups a day does the trick!

It will clean out your lymph system, but if you make it too strong, it will empty out your stomach (as in upchuck) I mix sage leaves, mullein leaves and yarrow leaves. I call it sinus tea. I use a third of each, but if you are not used to sage, I recommend using half the quantity that I do. Caveat: I am not a dr and am not recommending medical treatment. I am sharing anecdotal knowledge of an herbal remedy which has worked for me, my family and friends. Joan Respect is love in plain clothes.Frankie Byrne
