Dandelion & Rooibos Well-Rooted Chai

Do you ever have those days when thoughts are swirling in your head?  You feel a bit spacey and scattered – too much to do, not enough time.   In that state of mind, I’m never very productive.  Instead of focusing on work, I seem to just get stressed and add more items to my …

Warming Herbal Teas

We’re in the depths of winter.  And it’s cold. (Not nearly as cold here in London as it is in the States this year!  But still.  I feel the cold!) Who doesn’t like a cup of tea to warm them up on a cold morning?  And with a little insight into traditional herbal remedies, you …

6 beauty boosting herbal infusions

Are you an herbal infusion convert yet? I write about herbal infusions (wrongly called “herbal tea” … but there’s no tea in these caffeine-free brews!) a lot because I love them! Herbal infusions are a simple, gentle, inexpensive and effective way to get more herbal goodness into your daily life. Even the busy mother or office …

Summer garden herbal tea

Local. Seasonal. Organic. Those are the buzzwords of the day for foodie culture. And if you can reduce your food miles to just a few feet by growing food in your backyard, you’ll be the envy of many a food lover! While I would love a big garden for planting and pottering in the summer, my …

Thyme, lemon and honey herbal tea

Thyme, lemon and honey infusion

  It has been so cold in London this winter.   So on my recent trip to the grocery store when I found pots of kitchen herbs on sale, I got this sudden urge for fresh, green, infusions!  I live in the city, in an apartment, without any outdoor space, so these little pots of …

a gorgeous handful of wild clivers

Wild Clivers Cold Infusion for a Spring Detox

It’s early Spring, and while walking the other day, I found one of my favorite early-spring greens … Clivers! This plant has lots of names – clivers, cleavers, goosegrass, sticky weed, sticky willy … as the name suggests, it’s sticky.  It’s so sticky, that I’m told kids in the UK like to throw it at …

chamomile tea

Kitchen remedies: chamomile tea

This is the first post in a series on simple kitchen remedies.  No need to run to the pharmacy for every ache and pain.  In fact, you can treat most common ailments at home with ingredients you probably have in your cupboards already! Now let’s just be clear.  Kitchen remedies don’t replace professional medical advice!   But …

Spring detox with nettle tea

It’s spring, so it’s detox season.  Drugstores are filled with pills and potions you can buy to ‘detox’ your body to get ready for warmer weather.  But today I’m suggesting you go foraging for a completely free, nutritious “spring tonic”… nettles. Ok, “foraging” sounds scary. Or cheap. Or too crunchy-earth-mother. I know.  But don’t leave …

Hot honey, lemon and ginger for a cold

When you have a cold, do you pop a few pills and carry on with life? There’s a simple, time-tested home remedy that you can make to feel better when you have a cold – or anytime during the winter months. What is this home remedy?  Hot honey, lemon and ginger. Hot honey, lemon and …

8 simple home remedies for the flu

Are you tired of hearing about the flu yet?  I am!  This season we got a double-dose of flu media attention between the seasonal flu and the dreaded H1N1 swine flu. Unfortunately, given the pervasiveness of the flu this year, there’s a good chance that you or someone you know will catch it at some point. …

Stop buying expensive tea bags and make your own herbal tea!

Since moving to London, I’ve had tea on the brain.  Browsing through all the fancy tea shops is almost as fun for me as a trip to Sephora. In addition to the lovely proper teas, they have a great assortment of herbal teas: peppermint, nettle, raspberry leaf, liquorice. Yum!  Unfortunately herbal tea is a bit …
