My current favorite herbal tea for treating inflammation

I love this time of year when I can harvest this tea straight from the garden.

(I DON'T love this time a year for the inevitable Lyme flair up)

My husband makes an anti-inflammatory tea for his Crohn's. Sadly, not all of it can be found in our garden, but the main ingredient sure can be: mint!

His tea is made of (we always eyeball the amount of ingredients but this is a rough estimate)

- 1/4 cup of dried mint
- 1 Tbsp of quercetin
- 1 tsp Oregon grape root
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- dash of cayenne

He doesn't always use the oregon grape root (since it's better to cycle on and off with it), but it really does help him a lot. At one point, his feet were covered in ulcers, and this tea got rid of them within 2 weeks. Whenever his Crohn's starts flaring up, he starts drinking this tea, and it really seem to help get him back in recession.

I had serious fatigue for over a decade due to nearly fatal lyme in my 20's  (back in 1994 when they had a hard time diagnosing.)  I take cordyceps daily.  It built back up the mitochondria in my cells.  Now I am 50+ and an energizer bunny.  Cordyceps radically changed my life.
