#Ulog Day3: Homemade Herb Tea, Nature & Foodies = Natural Remedies!

Welcome to:

Yesterday, I woke up with a headache and felt sick after running errands. So I decided to make mint, ginger and lemon tea with honey. It's always my favorite tea because of it's minty and tingly taste, it makes me relax and it has a lot of health benefits.

PEPPERMINT

I'm glad my mint plant grows back after the winter

Mint tea stops headache pain by opening up the brain's constricted blood vessels and brings relief. Even the aroma of peppermint tea (or peppermint oil) may help headaches as well as colds.

If you prefer to buy peppermint tea, make sure that it’s made from natural peppermint and not artificial flavorings.

GINGER, LEMON and HONEY

We all know that these three have a lot of health benefits. They also help to burn fats and detoxify our body. You can also make a ginger and lemon tea with honey (instead of sugar). It's a perfect teatox!

Here is how I make my herb tea and it's super easy.

Ingredients

• 1 inch or 1 tablespoon chopped or grated fresh ginger
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 slices of lemon juiced
• 2 tablespoons honey to taste
• A handful of fresh mint leaves

Preparation

1. Rinse the herbs well to remove any residual dirts.
2. Boil water in a saucepan. Add the ginger and mint. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Use a spoon to press juice from any larger pieces of ginger.
3. In a mug, add honey, followed by lemon juice using a strainer to catch stray pieces.
4. Pour in the herb tea and serve hot.

I had a nap after having my tea. When I woke up, I felt better and my headache is gone but I still feel tired.

My husband called me if do I want a take away order of my favorite dish from one of our favorite Chinese restaurant which is not far from us but I told him that I prefer to have a nice walk going down to the restaurant to get some fresh air because it's also near in the beach.

Every time I'm not feeling well, I always crave with either filipino dish, spicy soup and sweets. So I had spicy sweet and sour vege soup, sizzling peking duck in spicy sauce, egg fried rice and dark chocolate ice cream while hubby had sizzling pork.

Yep, I'm a big eater! Lol

We had a beach stroll before going home and I totally felt better after.

The herb tea, nature and comford foods, (yakap-sul and kisspirin) are indeed natural remedies!😉
