Come on! I'll review some of the benefits of "The Miracle Herbal Tea" Clove and Cinnamon
We fight against runny noses in winter!
This duo is your best ally against colds, and all that comes from them such as flu-like conditions, ENT and laryngeal congestion. Cinnamon soothes inflammation of the respiratory tract while Clove cleans with its antiseptic and expectorant properties. We told you, this is not a herbal tea, it is a VIP treatment. A little tip from the Naturopath , add a tip to this drink, place a hot water bottle tightly closed on your liver (last ribs at the bottom right) and above all take advantage of it to put yourself on a diet (because viruses generally hate that), I advise you to only eat homemade compote and at will, without sugar, a little warm and to accompany it with rosemary and thyme infusion (alternating). Do not hesitate to practice this mono diet for 2-3 days, rest assured, you are capable of it! (This advice is excluded for anyone suffering from an illness or a contraindication from their treating physician).
Why is this herbal tea a heat bomb?
Winter is that time of year when even your cat seems more motivated than you. Everything is cold, damp, and your energy runs away faster than a New Year's resolution. In winter, we swim in full Yin . The cold? Yin. The water element? Yin. Your feet frozen under the covers? More Yin. In short, it's high time to put a little Yang back into all that, and guess who are the stars of this "general warming" mission? Clove and cinnamon. The little extra from Naturo : If you can, treat yourself to a sauna or hammam session depending on your preference, it's very good for detoxing through the skin during the winter period.
Here we play the card "Good in your belly, good in your head" We join the culture of Ayurveda!
This duo is very popular in particular for combating bloating and digestive discomfort after meals.
Cloves:
Tiny but mighty, they awaken your digestive fire, boost your immune defenses, and their scent makes you feel like you're in a cozy chalet (even if you're stuck in the city with a view of the neighbor across the street).
Cinnamon:
soft, sensual and enveloping, it does more than just perfume your infusion.
It also helps to regulate your little sugary excesses, the 5pm or evening cravings after a meal (yes, we're talking about the box of pralines devoured in front of the TV).
Why adopt this “Cloves & Cinnamon” ritual from January?
Winter is the season when we crawl around, our feet are as cold as an icicle, and we start to consider hibernating like a groundhog. This herbal tea is the little boost that reminds you that you are a person full of warmth, style and pep (even in pajamas).
So, tuck yourself into your coziest blanket, grab your steaming mug, and enjoy. With cloves and cinnamon, you're not just fighting the cold, you're doing it in style. Winter had better watch out, you're ready to take it on, one spicy sip at a time!
