Garden Herb Tea

10/25/2026

Let’s become the medicine we seek.
✨🌱
If a fellow herbalist, call it eco herbalism, reciprocal herbalism, untamed herbalism.
It doesn’t really matter as it’s just a new term for an old way. It has been done for centuries by indigenous folks who know the wild as kin.
🌳
Tend to the plants and our neighbors in nature as they tend to us.
🐾
Walk among instead of on.
🌿
Work with a plant instead of using it. “What do you use this plant for?” “Nothing. I work with it for a variety of benefits though.”
🌊
Talk to the river instead of drying it up with chatgbt. The answers you get will be much deeper and reflective of the knowledge you actually seek.
🍄
Be community over consumer, connection over control.
🍂
Slow medicine over rapid release capsules.
🐿️
Feed the squirrels during famine who will then plant keystone oaks for us all.
🍁
Leave dead native plants standing for our insect neighbor’s shelter and bird neighbor’s food.
🌱
Gather with gratitude and tell the stories of the “weeds” (wildlings) to save us all from damaging herbicides.
🍃
Tear down the walls that separate us from our wildest selves and home and feel the tension melt away as the overly restrictive walls come crumbling down.

Cold and Flu season Tip #1
🔥
Let that fever burn!
🤒
Our bodies are incredible and want to heal themselves.
🥰
A fever is a perfect example of our amazingness.
•
The body heats up to a temp that pathogens do not survive well in while our own immune systems go into beast mode in the higher temp.
🔥
Here’s a few minutes of tips on how to support the fever as well as when it may be a good idea to cool it down.
🥵
Teas I’m suggesting right now are:
Immune boost to battle any bugs going around or at the first sign of symptoms.
•
Get well herbal tea for when the bug has landed and you’re sick.
•
Fire c***r to help heat up that fever.
•
Breathe thinning for coughs that need to bring up the junk.
•
Sinus open the pipes or sinus steam for congestion
•
Porcupine for sore throats or dry coughs
•
Daily strength or care to speed healing process after.
•
Or our Winter Wellness Kit has basically all these and more.
🌿
More cold and flu season tips coming soon and of course only do what feels safe and best for you!

•

•

•
Strain and enjoy your orange black tea!
🫖🍂🍊
Confession:
After editing this video I had the thought… you can also just squeeze an orange wedge into your cup of black tea.
It’s not quiiiiiiite the same but pretty dang close if you are in a rush.
✨
There is something charming about making the orange tea first. And when I spirit feels it, so it shall be.
💫
There is benefit to the orange tea itself and why we are all seemingly craving it right now. Aside of digestive and immunity benefits- Orange is uplifting. Orange brings brightness. Orange is happiness in a cup. Much tradition is steeped in a cup of orange tea.
🍊
I would be so curious to know some of your orange tea or orange black tea recipes who come from cultures who grew up making this! Shares?? ゚viralシ

Here’s a home recipe I’ve used for years with so much success. From my home to yours…
⭐️
Sore Throat Savior Gargle
🌱
This gargle (not tea) brings antibacterial, anti inflammatory, soothing effects to a sore throat that’s so helpful and needed when it’s needed.
✨
It’s very important to bring down throat inflammation since it can lead to secondary issues even more uncomfortable than the sore throat itself.
Believe it or not, an untreated sore throat can easily lead to ear pain, inflammation, and even infection.
🌿
Gargle this a few times a day to prevent unwanted bacterial growth as well as bring down the inflammation to soothe and prevent further complications :)
😝
Be sure to only gargle a comfortable temp of water. Not too hot, not too cold… just right.
🌱♨️
Here’s the recipe:
8oz hot water
1/4-1/2tsp clove
1/2-1 Tb sage
1/2-3/4 Tb salt
Steep all ingredients together for about 15 minutes. Stir well. Strain well.
Gargle a few times a day or as needed when throat feels irritated or inflamed.
Store in fridge up to 3 days reheating as needed.
💚
If you want the perfect herbal tea to drink in between gargles, Porcupine or Sing are top notch- and may I say- very well crafted for throat soothing and health.
😬
Stay well my friends!

Stopped up nose? I’ve got you!
Well… your kitchen cabinet has got you :)
🌿
Sinus steam my friends.
👃
It’s essential when you have sinus congestion that you keep the mucous flowing to prevent unwanted bacteria from populating.
🦠🚫
Sinus steams help create movement as well as carry bacteriostatic properties from the herbs to help battle unwanted bacteria trying to post up.
😮‍💨
This is a way to not only bring relief but help prevent secondary issues from a common cold or virus.
🤣
Also- if you’d like to know what a goober my husband is, watch til the end.
🌿🌱♨️
Sinus Steam Recipe:
•2-3Tb Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary or Italian seasoning in heat safe bowl.
•32 or so oz boiling water
•A towel
Pour boiling water over herbs in bowl. Place face over steam but not close enough to burn and then place towel over the back of your head.
Breathe in steam 3-5 minutes 1-2x day during high congestion times.
