Magical And Medicinal Tea Blends

© Anne Calzada Herbalist

Plants are magical and they lend their healing abilities to us. We literally cannot live without them. Making tea is something that has been done forever. We take the time to think about what we need and then set out to find which plants are calling to us. We infuse their life force into ours and we are strengthened that much more. I love to drink them and soak with them. Working with the plants depends on your personal tastes and the medicinal or vibratory action of the plant that you are asking for. You really learn to develop your own intuition when you work with them.

They are magical. Here are some beautiful plant energies for you...... xo !

Herbal Infusion

An infusion is a medicinal tea that has infused at least 4 hrs. Make it at night before you go to bed and it will be ready in the morning or make it in the morning and it will be ready wen you get home at the end of the day. Infusions are great for extracting minerals or water soluble properties. These are safe for daily use and nourishing. Use 1 cup of herb in a quart jar, pour boiling water over it, cap it and let it sit.
