Decongest & Feel your Best Tea

Herbal Teas by Kathleen Brown

2 parts yerba santa leaves

2 parts sage leaves

1 part ginger root

1 part nettle leaves

1 part peppermint leaves

1/8 part licorice root

This is an excellent formula for congested, drippy sinuses due to colds or allergies. The yerba santa, nettle, and sage in combination gently help to dry up excess mucus in the upper respiratory tract, without the “overdrying” effect of many antihistamies. Sip freely as needed.

1. Combine all herbs in a pot, and cover with boiling water.
2. Stir well, cover, and steep 15-20 minutes.
