I have been finding my homemade herbal blends (made from all or mostly home grown herbs) to be quite helpful in easing those uncomfortable hot flashes and that odd achy skin that nobody warned me I would have to deal with when I hit this point in my life.
Tonight's blend is raspberry leaf, pineapple weed, red clover, and pansy (all from the garden), with the addition of cloves, a cinnamon stick, and a red pepper for added flavor with a bit of a kick.
Of course I brewed it on the rocket stove! ;)
As it often does, it turned out quite tasty. I have posts about the benefits of red clover, pansies, and raspberry leaves (see links below) and will be doing one soon about pineapple weed so if you are interested in such things, keep watching for that down the road.
Now I am off to chill and enjoy my lovely tea. Hope you all have a relaxing evening! ~Heidi
