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".
