This is a classic old-world remedy for lingering winter congestion or spring allergies. Radishes are natural decongestants, and thyme is a good antiseptic. I like to use items in my garden. I have thyme and the radishes started popping up! - The Remedy: Radish Syrup. - How to do it: Grate 2–3 fresh radishes and mix them with 2 tablespoons of raw honey and a few sprigs of fresh garden thyme. Let it sit for 2 hours until a liquid syrup forms. - Make tea: Let your tea (peppermint or ginger work) cool down for about 3–5 minutes so it’s "warm" rather than hot, then stir in your garden syrup.
That’s really awesome! I didn’t realize you could do that with radishes. Makes sense. I had horrible nasal congestion when spring started. I was so desperate that I ate a spoonful of horseradish we had in the fridge. It did the trick, but it was painful! 🤣 I like your radish tea idea better.
Ooh, that’s great to know! My daughter and husband both have pretty bad spring and summer allergies. I’ll see if I can sneak some nettle tea into my daughter’s lemonade. When the pollen count is super high, I get them too. I use a saline nasal rinse with one drop of grapefruit seed extract (more isn’t better in this case! 🤣 Unfortunately I know from experience 🔥). It seems to help a lot though.
Good afternoon, I would love to know a small comfort for your wellness? For some people it's driving with the windows down, lighting a candle, heavy rain, clean sheets or eating fish crackers. Thank you for sharing! https://www.terradowellness.com/
I spend time in the garden during Spring. Mostly because being outside helps with my anxiety and I'm so busy to worry about things. I think of it as a type for remedy. I'm curious what you do when Spring approaches that has to do with self-care?🦋💗
Such a great inspiration to get outside! Thank you for the reminder to garden and to take care of myself. I’m not great at remembering to do either. 🤦🏻♀️
🌿The type of cold that drags on for a few weeks, what do we do? It’ll fade away and you think it’s gone and then it pops back up🤷♀️. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated and thank you!!🌸
@Kristine Terrado Oh awesome! Glad it's helping! If you have any stray otoliths in your inner ear where they shouldn't be, it'll help too. I've had nerve pain from neck issues before too (bulging disks in my vertical spine, pinching my spinal cord). My PT showed me some "nerve flossing" stretches that really helped. I bet there are some great YouTube videos for it. It sounds weird, but it's super simple and feels really good. ✨
