CANDIDIASIS-FIGHTING TEA
1/2 ounce dried Echinacea root
1/4 ounce dried Calendula petals
1/4 ounce dried Agrimony leaves
1 Pint of water, plus extra for evaporation.
1. In a non-aluminum sauce pan, place the Echinacea in the water, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and gently simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
2. Place the Calendula and Agrimony in a teapot, and strain the Echinacea broth over it. Cover and steep for 10 minutes.
3. Strain the herbs out of the tea, and cover. Effective, refrigerated, for 48 hours.
DOSAGE: Reminder: Always try new herbs in tiny amounts to see if they agree with you. I take only 1 teaspoon, in 1/2 cup of water, and wait a 1/2 hour, to test. Better to be SAFE than miserable. Even safe herbs can disagree with your particular system. This is especially true if you have plant allergies. Drink about 1/4 cup, 3 times a day, before meals. Add fresh lemon juice, spearmint, or peppermint, cinnamon, ginger. or cayenne, to enhance flavor if desired. Do not add sugar or honey.
