Oh those nasty colds! Soon as the weather changes we come down with something.
First remedy (Bush Medicine)
Spruce tip tea
1 small handfull of spruce tips to about 6 cups of cold water.
Put in an enamelled pot,on low heat with a lid. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. You should get a lime green color. Drink three cups a day, or as needed.
Can sweeten with honey.
For those who cannot get out; pick up some things at the health food store. What I find is licorice and echinacea make a good blend.
1/2 tsp.Licorice
1 tsp.echinacea
Add to two cups of water in an enamelled line pot with a lid. Place lid over top and steep for 30 minutes.
(These work better if you can get ground or powder).
