The ancients were right: plants aren't afraid of winter! On the contrary, they defy it shamelessly! Thyme, rosemary, linden, chamomile, fennel, sage: we're opening the doors to our grandmothers' winter garden...
When your throat starts to itch and your nose starts to itch too, take the lead and call Aunt Simone immediately.
We bet that after a little reprimand (like: "Are you sure you're dressed enough?", "Isn't there any heating in your office?"), she'll talk to you about plants, with thyme infusion and its decluttering effect at the forefront (she takes courses of it several times during the winter)!
Tata Simone also really likes rosemary , and we understand why: this plant isn't one to let winter go by, it seems that it helps to calm the bronchi! Before hanging up, Tata Simone will certainly slip you a word about linden: in solo infusion mode or in the company of verbena and mint , it will help you to send the colds flying.
If it's your stomach that's playing tricks on you, remember what Grandma Paulette always said: "hot water morning, noon and night and you can say goodbye to your stomach ache."
Obviously, in her famous hot water, she added plants that she dried or in sachets. Her favorite has always been fennel tea . It must be said that its digestive effect always left her speechless. She also has no end of praise for chamomile : beyond its sweet and fruity taste (which alone already does a lot of good), it has been renowned since Antiquity for its digestive properties .
Enough to make our Cocktail Digest infusion Grandma Paulette's digestive ally (who's not the last to be bloated... but shhhh, she hates it when we talk about it in public!)
If Mamie Jeannine always has sage within reach of her cup, it's because this plant is capable, without anyone noticing, of landing an uppercut on the minor ailments of everyday life. Besides, as the saying goes, "He who has sage in his garden doesn't need a doctor!"
It helps soothe a stuffy throat but it still won't replace your good family doctor, we agree ????
According to Jeannine, you can even gargle with sage... We'll just make do with a hot herbal tea and "Sage who can!"
