Well so much for keeping up with tea of the day. To say my life has been busy would be an understatement. I have a daughter moving, several out of town weddings, funerals and a birth in the works. I have been able to participate in a local herb festival that allowed me to meet new customers and reconnect with old ones. From that event I have been able to join our locale Piedmont Farmer's Market and will be establishing an on going presence on Tuesday and Saturday at the Winecoff Market and on Thursday at the Kannapolis research campus.

After returning from Hilton Head this past Sunday, niece's wedding, I found my self feeling a bite of a sore or raw throat at bedtime Monday night. I took a homeopathic remedy " cold and flu". When I got up I had my morning usual ,MBG. However, I had developed some hoarseness and my throat felt as if it were on fire. Remembering  in the late 90's when my sister returned from a business trip where she had been quit ill. One of her symptoms was a raw throat as if on fire. We researched our hardcopy and made a tea of raw lemons steeped in hot water. Great Idea, however I did not have any lemons. I was going to have to come up with an alternative. Meanwhile I fixed my old stand by Storms a Brewin which relieved by mild body discomfort I was developing and mild head congestion, soothed my throat ; but the roar was still there. So I turned to one of the great anti virals and an ingredient  of Storm , Rooibos , particularly Sunshine Lemon Rooibos. I added the new honey  from my honey pot and dipper that my newly married niece and her husband gave me as gift the day before. AHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!! Soothing relief. I continued this regime through out the day and found that by Wednesday the roar had subsided but my nose wanted to run like a faucet and sneezing set in, so I added some Cayenne pepper to my Sunshine Lemon Rooibos. While Wednesday was the worst day for me the only symptom I suffer today is a very rare dry cough which  my Cough Calm and some honey seem to quiet.

Yesterday I felt much better. I needed to run a few errand and just wanted a lift so I made some Peachy Keen  iced.

So have I covered a couple of tea of the days
