Cure for a Cold

I LOVE tea, I LOVE herbal tea ♥ Whats even better is homemade herbal tea, or better still…homemade organic herbal tea! This tea is Lemon Verbena, Spearmint, Chamomile & Rosehip – all organically grown, the leaves have then been dried & one heaped teaspoonful provides a delish pot of tea!

My baby boy has a little cough at the moment & isn’t interested in eating, so for his sore throat Im thinking to make him a hot drink. The Lemon Verbena is antibacterial, calming & will help ease a fever, Chamomile has been used for centuries as a sleeping aid with its natural relaxing properties, & is also an anti-inflammatory so will calm any swollen glands, Spearmint aids digestion so will settle any sore stomach,indigestion or gas & also improves headaches (nice minty taste too!) and Rosehip is great for colds & flus also!

manuka, lemon

Add a little Manuka, antibacterial + a powerful antioxidant, and a squeeze of lemon juice, another antibacterial boost, and this drink should be a winner. Now…heres to hoping he likes it!
