It's that time of year again, and I'm weepy, worn out, and headachy as hell because of it. Yes, I'm talking about Hay Fever Season. *a-choo* *sniffle* Living in the Chicago area, I never had to deal with this, but the last six Springs have found me an absolute mess since I moved to Champaign. I blame the corn fields that surround us, but whatever the reason, it's a cure that I had to find. The typical pharmaceutics didn't work, and I'm fairly certain that I tried them all. Then I read about
Nettle Leaf on
mountainroseherbs.com. I ordered some leaves, and set to work on finding the right recipe to help eliminate my sneezes. This is what I found:
Hay Fever Tea
- 2 teaspoons Nettle Leaf
- 2 teaspoons Peppermint Leaf
- 1 teaspoon Licorice Root
Steep the above in hot - not boiling - water for 15 minutes. Add a teaspoon of honey to flavor, and drink up!
I usually have several cups of tea throughout the day, which helps a lot. It took a lot of tweaking to find the right mix that worked for me, but it was worth the effort.
