Nourish Your Hair - Part 2



In the last blog, I promised that I'd give you a yummy herbal tea recipe to naturally nourish your hair. Well . . . here it is. Now, I won't guarantee that this tea will make you sprout hair as long and lush as Rapunzel's, but this mineral-rich brew is a delightful way to nourish your hair (skin and nails, too) from the inside out. This recipe uses dried herbs, and will yield 2 cups of tea. This is a terrific tea to drink on a daily basis to remineralize your body, especially if you have weakened bones, have recently broken a bone, or are pregnant and want to ensure that your unborn child receives plenty of naturally-derived minerals to build strong bones and teeth. The herbs are very safe to consume regularly. RAPUNZEL'S FAVORITE HERB TEA Ingredients: - 1/2 teaspoon horsetail - 1/2 teaspoon raspberry leaves - 1/2 teaspoon nettles - 1/2 teaspoon oat straw - 1 teaspoon peppermint - 2 cups boiling, purified water - Honey or lemon to taste (optional) Directions: Add the herbs to the boiling water, then remove pan from heat source. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Or, steep for 4 hours for a super-nutritious infusion. Strain. Add honey or lemon to taste, if desired. Sip slowly and enjoy.
