This lingering sinus crud is seriously tough to shake! Nearly everyone I know has dealt with it in some way. I’ve been sipping on this herbal tea all week, and it’s definitely been helping. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

1 tsp mullein (mountain rose herbs | amazon)
1 tsp horehound (mountain rose herbs | amazon)
1 tsp peppermint (mountain rose herbs | amazon)
1 tsp oregano (mountain rose herbs | amazon)

Add the herbs to a French press or a teapot with a built-in strainer. Let steep for 5–7 minutes, then strain and enjoy. I like to stir in a little honey for added soothing and sweetness.

Let’s run through the reasons this blend is incredible!
  • horehound: increases the secretion of thinner mucus to break up congestion. it’s a great remedy for coughing.
  • oregano: useful for infections of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
  • mullein: has a soothing hydrating effect on the lungs and contain saposins that loosen mucus. helpful for colds and coughs.
  • peppermint: settles the stomach and tastes good.
The tea tastes great on its own with a little bit of honey, but even better in my favorite teapot that has the strainer in the lid so i can fill it with blood orange slices, rosemary, cinnamon and pomegranate seeds.

If you don’t want to purchase all the individual herbs, but would like to try the tea blend, you can find it premade and ready to use in my shop.
