taking in the Tea

In my last post I mentioned that I was going into a week of detox/fasting.

Day 1 has passed and I seem to be doing fine. I am not feeling sick or have any other side effects. The only thing was that I went to bed last night at 20:00 and woke up 12 hours later.

During the programme we drink a lot of tea, at least three to five mugs per day so I thought I would go through the different options
All options have a benefit that is good for a certain area in the body. Those can all be bought pre mixed or you can put them together yourself

• kidney bladder tea:
  nettle, anise, dandelion, juniper, bedstraw, horsetail, ribwort

• liver gall tea:
  rhubarbroot, dandelion, yarrow, silberdistel, celandine

• bloodcleansing tea
  yarrow, juniperberry, nettle, sage, fennel, caraway seed, birch, rosehips

• tea for better breathing
  fennel, islandic moss, anice, bärlauch, turmeric, coltsfoot, mistletoe

• skin cleansing tea
  fennel, sage, anice, birch, juniper berries, nettle, lindenblossoms, speedwell

• for the heart tea
  mistletoe, hawthorn leaves and flowers, arnica, balm, lavender, rosemary

These are just some examples of tea that have very cool added benefits and even taste nice.

My plan is really to do a course later in the Spring that teaches you to pick the plants for home use. maybe even start making my own tea. Who knows, I might even end up with a collection like below.

I tried making my own mint tea last year and that was a huge success so this is going to be planted again this year for sure

If you know any other really good teas or plants that I missed out then please add in the comments
