September is National Honey Month…
ambrosia…
nectar of the Gods…
honey existed before man as evidenced by fossils from 150 million years ago …
honey collection can be traced back thousands of years as depicted in ancient cave paintings …
did you know it is used for wound healing…
it is a natural energy booster…
a skin moisturizer…
a natural cough suppressant and that is just the beginning of what there is to know about honey…
I like adding it to herbal teas…
today I am sipping a delicious and delicate herb tea that I brought back from the beautiful Einseideln Monastery outside of Zurich Switzerland…
it is called Münsterschwarzach Klostertee St. Benedikt Sieben-Zeiten-Tee (St Benedict Seven Times Tea)…
the organic ingredients are sage, ginger, lemon balm, spearmint, valerian, rose petals and primrose flowers…
“sage stimulates and will preserve your health…Ginger warms the body and increases the vital energy center… Spearmint aids digestion… Valerian brings calmness and promotes concentration… Rose opens the heart… Primrose is new beginning and light… Melissa awakens the spirit and brings hope and joy…”
I even got a second cup out of the same teabag ahhhhh…
be sure and visit Kimmie over at her Art in Red Wagons for more tea stops…
I also invite you to come see the new offerings on my Magpie’s Nest Too giveaway blog
