My art teacher told me about a health food store in town called Country Life. I thought it was a restaurant! But that’s just in the back. I went to take a look today and they have all different types of Traditional Medicine teas, as well as loose roots and flowers, spices, coconut, almond and tapioca flour. Whee! So much fun. I bought six different herbs and right now I’m steeping a pot of Red Yarrow Flower, Red Clover Blossom and Passion Flower. Healthy, healthy indeed! I’m going to list the different ones and link to how to infuse. It’s the only way I’ll keep them straight. (I had no idea you had to infuse roots for thirty minutes! Good to know.)
Marshmallow Root – good for breathing and gastric
Red Yarrow Flower-cardiovascular support and detoxifier
Red Clover Blossom – respiratory system, liver, cardiovascular, calming
Passionflower – insomnia, overactive mind, worry.
