Give yourself and the people sleeping within earshot some much-needed rest with this recipe from The Lost Herbs that uses peppermint and chamomile along with Bronchial Clear to help ease congestion, reduce inflammation and promote better sleep.
If you have a cold, and wake up to raspy breathing, take a shot of this herbal remedy to sleep well into the night.
Sleep Well Anti-Snoring Shot
Ingredients:
1 tsp dried peppermint leaves, shredded
1 tsp dried chamomile flowers
1 cup boiling water
Bronchial Blend Tincture (20 drops) or 5 ml Bronchial Clear
Manuka honey, optional
Steps:
Pack the peppermint and chamomile in a tea bag or tea ball infuser.
Place it in a cup and pour boiling water over it. Let steep for at least 5 to 8 minutes and add the tincture drops or bronchial clear. Remove the infuser or tea bag and sweeten it with honey, if you want.
To Use:
Take a cup of this anti-snore herbal shot before bedtime to decrease snoring. You may also use fresh leaves and flowers if desired. Fresh peppermint leaves (or spearmint) can be chewed directly but many people prefer it as a tea.
Peppermint and chamomile tea are likely safe for consumption. However, avoid chamomile if you are allergic to plants in the ragweed family.
You can find plenty of essential information in one of the most thorough wellness guides available: The Holistic Guide to Wellness: Herbal Protocols for Common Ailments.
If you are having severe symptoms please see your natural health practitioner or doctor.
This recipe is from The Lost Herbs which is one of my favourite websites, they also have a fantastic book (that I have mentioned many times before) – The Lost Book Of Herbal Remedies book can be ordered from New Zealand and is well worth it.
