Healing Tea - For Sore Throats, Cough, Cold & Flu

It's pretty rare for me to get sick so easily, but this past weekend most of my household and I got pretty sick with sore throats. Since I really refuse the idea of taking meds, I always look for a natural home remedy. So I went online, looked up the benefits of some ingredients from my kitchen and started to taste the results.

What you need:

» Lemon Tea – 1 bag
» Agave – 1 spoonful
» Freshly ground pepper – just a pinch

Extras: Essential oils (2 drops each)

» Rosemary
» Lemon
» Peppermint
» Eucalyptus

Instructions:

Boil as much or as little water you want to use and place the tea bag in it, let it sit for 5 min, covered. Afterwards add the ground pepper, the agave, and the essential oils. Stir it up and you’re done! (Best to drink twice a day)

Benefits of each ingredient:

» Black pepper – Helps clear congestion.

» Lemon Tea – Removes toxins, boosts the body’s immune system and cures throat infections.

» Agave – Mostly used as sweetener, fights bacteria.

» Rosemary Essential Oil – relieves respiratory disorders including sinus infections, asthma, a whooping cough, and bronchitis.

» Lemon Essential Oil – treat throat infections effectively.

» Peppermint Essential Oil – is an effective treatment for dry coughs.

» Eucalyptus – loosens any mucus in the lungs and reduces inflammation in the respiratory system.

Thank you so much for reading,

The Perfect Rainy Day

Once I woke up this morning, I literally didn't want to get up! It was cold and I could hear the rain tapping on the window, but sadly I had to get up and go to the university. But, once I got back, I took the rest of the day to dedicate it to myself.

So I light up a candle put on comfy warm clothes and began to lounge around my room. I started with watching a bit of my favorite shows from HGTV (this is basically my favorite and the only channel I watch.) I hope I'm not the only one who is obsessed with this channel... After turning the TV off, I picked up a book and began to get lost in it for at least a couple of minutes because come on, Book + Rainy Day = Perfection ♥

But then, the sad part came, I had to leave those beautiful moments of relaxation for a time to start on my school work. It was still great because the cold and windy weather was still going on outside. The important part of enjoying your day is to feel comfortable and relax, dress down and have no worries about the rest of the day.
