It was bad timing by experimenting with blended teas.
As you now from my previous post I had some health troubles.  What I thought was a bad cold turned out to be a bacterial sinusitis.
To break the fever I used the traditional cold and flu tea as well as other tea blends and than even the ‘gift’ from my husband (see previous post ;- )
Now after nothing brought relief I went back to my own tradition of ‘one herb at the time.’
I drank 1 liter sage (Salvia officinalis) tea over the morning and 1 liter peppermint (Mentha pipperita) in the afternoon, as well as additional 1 liter (or more) water to give the kidneys relief.
High amounts of Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) tincture was also on my daily program as well as citrus fruits and honey.
I didn’t use commercial antibiotics and I wont use tea blends anymore.
What brought me relief was also a warm compress over my nose and eyes and just today I thought I should have made some herbal compress (did only water… yes, with a sore head you can’t think far). Maybe some warmed herb pillows filled with thyme or sage would have brought relief too.
Now I am still careful and don’t go outside because even the slightest cold wind is painful for my sinus, teeth and head and I am to scared to worsen again. It will take some more time to recover…
Anyway, tea blends are nothing for me and I am more than happy to be back to my simples
