If youre in the same area as I am, weve already had the first round of back-to-school sniffles and yuck. Time to break out the herbs and vitamins! If Id been on the ball, I would have started this several weeks ago- but Ive read about a way to speed up herbal tinctures, so Im giving it a go. Today Ive done an astragalus and cinnamon honey- astragalus helps support the immune system, and I threw in some cinnamon stick while I was thinking about the cooler, damp (read as: prone to snot and colds) energetics of little kids. Hopefully it will throw some flavor in there too. The middle jar is an elderberry honey- also helpful for the immune system, and the last jar is a glycerite of marshmallow root and ginger. This will be helpful for the gut mucosa and helping support the body through any tummy issues, as well as helping to coat and soothe the throat. Typically you could leave this in a warm window sill to steep, or in the pantry- since we are currently symptomatic, Im setting these in a warm water bath in my crockpot that has been lined with an old kitchen towel. Ill be interested to see how things progress over the next few days, and look forward to some tea with herbal honey!
