Resipiratory Blend
This blend has quickly become my favorite blend. I reach for it when I want something earthy, spicy, and sweet. Perfect for a rainy day. Licorice Root and Marshmallow are both demulcent herbs that can help soothe irritated mucous membranes. Tulsi is a lovely herb that can help the body expel mucus. You may find this blend beneficial during or following a respiratory tract-related illness.
These hearty herbs benefit from being boiled to extract more plant matter. Add a little bit to room temperature water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
