Restorative Tea Recipe

This tea has been created for our friend’s recovery. Since she has to take a lot of medicines, there are several digestive herbs, that will keep the health of her digestive system. Sedative herbs have been added to help her sleep as much as she needs, to encourage the natural recovery of her body; finally, a good dose of Nettle will keep her iron levels high – and just because Nettle is one of those good-for-all herbs.

This tea has a really good taste, so it can be taken with or without sugar/honey, and hot or cold as you prefer. We made a bottle of it, and kept it in the fridge so she can take it all day long as she desires. I always recommend this method, as it is an easy and effective way to take herbal medicines, instead of making one cup at a time, which is obviously much more work.

- Two parts Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) – digestive;
- Two parts Orange Flower petals – sedative;
- Two parts Nettle (Urtica Dicoica) – nutritive;
- Two parts Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare) – digestive;
- One part Chamomile (Matricaria Camomila) – sedative + digestive;
- One Part Lemon Verbena (Aloysia Triphylla) – sedative + digestive.

Boil one litre of distilled water. Turn the heat off completely, add the herbs, let sit for 7 minutes, strain.

I thought it would also be an excellent tea to recover from colds, specially for those people who get stomach sickness with colds. Another use for this recipe would be during menstruation, as several of those herbs reduce cramps, it is very high in iron and the taste is really comforting. Hope you enjoy this wonderful herbal medicine!
