Cold & Flu Herbs (Beyond Elderberry Syrup & Thyme Steam)

Every time we talk about cold & flu herbs, we seem to start out with elderberry syrup and a good old thyme steam. Well, this time we’re going to talk about something different! Here are a few good friends to have on hand as we move into cold & flu season. Herbs discussed include white pine , sage , ground ivy , boneset, elecampane , ginger , catnip – elderflower – chamomile , and lemon! Mentioned in this podcast: Herbstalk’s Wintergreen Market – Saturday November 24th at the Armory in Somerville. We’ll be there!
