In winter, our bodies receive fewer vitamins compared to summer or autumn. This leads to a decrease in enzymatic activity and a certain “stagnation” in the rhythm of the endocrine glands. As a result, we may experience lethargy, drowsiness, and reduced productivity. Some people even suffer from dizziness.
So, how can we avoid this?
First and foremost, your daily diet should include at least 300 grams of raw vegetables and 200 grams of juices. Additionally, beneficial herbal teas can help strengthen your health.
Vitamin Teas
1. Take 10 grams each of raspberry leaves, black currant leaves, and lingonberry leaves, and add the same amount of crushed rose hips. Mix well. Pour two tablespoons of the dry mixture with a cup of boiling water and simmer for ten minutes. Cool in a tightly sealed container. Strain through cheesecloth, and you can add sugar for taste. Drink half a cup four times a day for a month. Keep in mind that this tea should not be stored for more than two to three days.
2. To 20 grams of dried clover flowers, add 30 grams of peppermint leaves and 10 grams of crushed rose hips. Pour a tablespoon of the mixture with 300 grams of boiling water and simmer for 15 minutes. Drink half a cup three times a day before meals. To keep your body from getting used to the same blend, it’s beneficial to alternate between different teas.
3. THIS RECIPE IS RECOMMENDED FOR OLDER MEN AND WOMEN. Mix 100 grams of dried rowan berries, the same amount of black currants, and raspberries. Brew a tablespoon of the mixture with a cup of boiling water, just like tea. For better taste, you can add 10-15 drops of viburnum juice. This drink is especially necessary for those experiencing flare-ups of sclerosis and spasms in the brain’s blood vessels. Consume at least three weeks, drinking a cup several times a day.
4. To 15 grams of dried parsley leaves and the same amount of carrot leaves, add 10 grams each of dill and carrot seeds. Pour a tablespoon of the mixture with two cups of boiling water and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Drink without straining, half a cup three times a day after meals.
5. Brew a tablespoon of the mixture (70 grams of rowan berries and 30 grams of nettle leaves) with two cups of boiling water and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it steep for four hours in a tightly sealed container in a dark, cool place. Strain through cheesecloth and drink half a cup twice a day.
6. The components of this tea are as follows: 40 grams of St. John’s wort, 30 grams of peppermint leaves, and 10 grams each of calamus roots and couch grass. Pour two tablespoons of the mixture with three cups of boiling water and simmer for 15-20 minutes on low heat until two-thirds of the broth remains. Let it steep for 8 hours, then strain and drink warm, half a cup three times a day, one hour after meals. Consume for three to four weeks. A weakened body is easily affected by respiratory diseases.
THEREFORE, I SUGGEST A FEW RECIPES FOR HERBAL TEAS FOR COLD RELIEF.
1. Mix 40 grams of marshmallow roots, 20 grams of coltsfoot leaves, 10 grams each of mullein flowers and fennel seeds, and 15 grams of licorice roots. Steep a tablespoon of this mixture in a cup of cold water. After two hours, boil it, and once cooled, strain. Drink the tea warm several times a day for 7 days.
2. Mix equal parts (10 grams each) of plantain leaves, lungwort, coltsfoot, fragrant violet, and licorice roots. Brew and consume as in the previous recipe.
3. Combine 30 grams each of elecampane roots and primrose roots, and add the same amount of coltsfoot leaves. Pour two teaspoons of the mixture with a cup of boiling water, boil, and steep for 5 minutes, then strain. Drink in small sips.
