Is it true that herbs possess the following qualities that are effective for endometriosis? :

• Anti-inflammatory effect
• Analgesic action
• Antispasmodic ability
• Supressor of growth of endometriosis lesions

A herbalist recommended ginger, turmeric, ginseng and lady's mantle. Any other recommendations?

I've bumped into this website of an English couple in Bulgaria - we never met, please don't suspect me in commercial promotion of any kind :) I'm genuinly in rapture of the reading and pictures and stories and attitude. I hope you like it too, tea fam

I love mountain tea (Mursalski chai). It is extremely decicious to my taste and it is scientifically studied in and out and proved to be very potent in health benefits. I am living in Bulgaria at the moment and for me it was a very interesting fact to discover about Mursalski tea is that it has long been used by rhodopean locals - grandpas and grandmas - who are known for their longevity, good health and vitality, for their overall stamina, so to say.

Mountain tea is extremely popular in the Balkans and is most often used in the autumn-winter season in colds, flu and other viruses. The infusion of above-ground parts of S. scardica is mainly used as an expectorant to treat bronchitis and bronchial asthma, cold, pulmonary emphysema and angina. It also blends beautifully with many other herbs - I mean sky is the limit - you can pair it with almost any herb you like. Another feature I noticed when we drank it at home with kids - it blends so nicely with ANY honey. Such a honey-friendly herb :)

A Bulgarian grandma recommended this preparation method for 2 cups of tea: in a stainless steel saucepan (ideally a ceramic pot) boil 2 cups of spring water. Add 2 sprigs of the herb. Cook for a min of 2 minutes or a max of 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the tea in for 20 minutes before drinking. Use honey separately, not directly in the tea.

I would be happy to hear your mursalski tea stories here ;)

I like playing with words ;) But even more than that I like playing with different recipes, ingredients and infusion techniques. So that we could make a good teaM here, let's exchange some recipes, favorite or wish list ingredients, and ofc - infusion techniques.

I'll start:

I love lemon balm, linden, thyme, cinnamon, cardamom, long pepper, lavender, mint, fenugreek, lemongrass in my tea. Not only, but these are the most heavily consumed ingredients in my home and lab/office

As for the infusion techniques, I'm usually doing it a lazy way: hot water in French press pot, wait for about 10 mins and go. I know this is not the best one, but I am willing to learn!

I encourage you to share your gems and treasures with all comuunity members for they make more people happy! 🫶🍃☕️

Mine is .... oh, come on, I don't have such! I've got a whole list of blends I love, love, love:

- Black tea with abundant thyme almost every morning

- Mountain tea with linden and a pinch of mint when I feel romantic and thoughtful

- Mint with mullein with ginger and long pepper when I have sore throat or simply want a warming effect

- Lavender with valerian root and mint when I need to calm dow

- Cardamom with lemongrass and some cinnamon and clove as a mood improver

- Rose petals in chamomile + lemon verbena before meditation

- Fenugreek + oatstraw + calendula (sometimes with turmeric) in the evening for overnight body detox

Etc, etc, etc 🪻🌸🏵🌿🍃☕️☕️☕️

Hi, I'm a newborn mod in a community that has been abandoned for a few years. There's no Award ribbon under the posts. I'd like to activate it. Is there a way?
