Cinnamon leaf, Lemongrass and Blue Vervain steeped with water and boiled in a coal pot for 25mins. Consume a small cup of the concoction up to 3 times a day, which I did for 5 days.ย
A healthy herbal tea high in antioxidants, inflammatory, antiseptic, anesthetic properties, nutrients. Great for weight loss, flu symptoms, relieve upset stomach (digestive probs). But they also have their own individual benefits.
