    Peppermint - Sinusitis

    All you sinus-sufferers, peppermint tea works, it sure works for me, i plant my own, grows like weeds, invasive, but i put it to use nearly every day, it does wonders. Pick the top few leaves, makes them bush out more, and brew with normal tea in a pot for extra flavour and strength, lovely with honey too. leave the leaves in to get all the goodness out.

    Oooh - never heard of that b&g. I've heard it's good for the digestion though. I suffer terribly from sinus troubles so will try this out. I think I might have spearmint growing on my lottie from the previous owner. Do you think that would work as well?

    Happy growing.

        A really good way of unblocking the tubes is to put hyssop leaves in a bowl with boiling water and breathe in the steam. I sometimes add mint or thyme but hyssop liquefies mucus something fierce!

          Spearmint is the gentler of the two and has a "sweeter" flavour. It is a better choice for more sensitive individuals and children.

          If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

            Im definitely adding Hyssop and Spearmint to my herb collection. I am not too keen on steam inhalation, but will give it a go at least once with the hyssop, i think ive been put off by Olbas Oil that chokes me even with one drop it is sooooo strong. But my tea is habit forming, so i might add the hyssop to the same brew. Will it still have an effect?
