Herbs for A Summer Cold

A summer cold can bring more misery than other kinds of colds. After working in the garden, I choose some herbs to make a remedy to stop the sniffles. Information in the box below.
If you are interested in using herbs for your health consider looking at the Hawthorn Academy -www.danusirish... or doing my Introduction to Herbal Medicine course www.danusirish...

Tea Recipe - For the beginning of a summer cold, some sniffles and sneezes, I took a small handful, about 2 teaspsoons of the following fresh herbs:
Thyme - (Thymus vulgaris) anti-viral, anti-microbial, expectorant
Catnip - (Nepata cataria) also known as Catmint - diaphoretic and astringent
Wild Marjoram - (Origanum vulgare) - diaphoretic, antiseptic, expectorant
I chopped up the herbs finely til they resembled tea leaves and infused them in hot water just off the boil. After 15 minutes of infusing, I drank a cup of this tea and finished off the pot during the rest of the afternoon. The cold was nipped in the bud and didn't develop.
Thanks for watching! Stay well xx

Oh Danu, I'm so sorry about your hen. I also have a Black Australorp named Miss Tilly, and although she isn't laying anymore she's a joy to have around...she's the equivalent of a "boss mare" in a herd of horses. I hurt when they pass away. Keep warm, rest and keep enjoying those beautiful herbal teas. You will be restored in no time!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I am fully restored thank you . Yes, we miss little Poppy, she had such a cheeky independent character. xx

[@MegaContemplator]

Thank you for such lovely videos every week! They are like a cure for soul and body and also I learn English from it. You have very calming and pleasant voice, very clear pronunciation and your manner of speaking is giving the feeling of presence as if I`m not a viewer but your guest offline.

[@sarabechtler7921]

Well said!

Aw!! thank you - delighted to hear that and I think all of the viewers are guests. xx

Oh Terri, sorry to see you lost your beautiful Poppy. It’s sad when we loose any of our animals, pets. Hope you get over the sniffles and feel better. ❤️

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

YEs, it was sad Oana but she had a good life. Sniffles all gone and hope you are well too. xx

Loved how your pup was tilting her head like she was really listening!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

She was listening. She is always trying to make sense of us😀

[@kestrelfeather]

Nice to see what you're doing around the place. You're a good month ahead of what is happening here as far as spring goes. Generally fruit, apples, plums, pears, cherries, etc. start blooming mid-May here. I do have pea seed and some potatoes in the ground now as well as a number of other vegetable varieties, spinach, broccoli, etc., seeded in rows. I love this time of year. It seems there is hope in the air once spring arrives. The other day I opened up a water box, a broken pipe needs repair, to find three rather dormant garden snakes curled up. I carefully moved those snakes to a spot along the garden fence since I doubt if they could have slithered out of the deep wooden box where they spent the winter. - - - Seeing you plant beans already is marvelous. Here we don't plant beans and squash out in the garden until mid-May. Hopefully this year May will be milder and less rainy than it was last year. Fruit crops here weren't the best due to cool wet May weather last year. - - - Like you I'm using those same herbs, they grow in my garden and yard, as you for medicinal tea. Out in the garden I've been digging up nettle roots, dandelion roots, washing them off, then drying those roots over the wood stove which is still burning at least some of the time. - - - Daffodils are just starting to bloom here and soon paper white narcissus will be glorious too. Spring is such a hopeful time. Out in the garden the other day, digging, I could hear swans out on the lake telling swan stories and singing swan songs. Enjoy your spring! Cheers!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

So interesting how different plants pop up in a different sequence. Are the snakes poisonous? You are right, Spring is such a hopeful positive time. Here in Ireland we will celebrate the beginning of Summer on 1st May, all the trees will be in leaf shortly - it is such a gorgeous time. Good luck with your garden and your herbs xx

[@tennesseenana4838]

I've never thought about using catnip for tea. Thank you for that information. I planted some a couple of weeks ago so will look forward to making tea with it.

[@sarahgilbert8036]

I'm going to have to "fight" my cat for fresh catnip! She won't touch it if it's dried.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I recommend it and it is so tasty too xx

[@marydunn3867]

Hope you feel better quickly.I don't plant beans out until late July I've learnt over the years the summer is too hot and we get our best crops the end of August/Sept.....🙃

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Completely better, thanks Mary. xx

Good 🌿 herbal recipe 😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks Theresa!

[@jeffhinrichs2993]

Thank you Terri! Your patch already looks amazing! Sorry you have the sniffles. A couple questions, First, is your liquid feed made only of fermented nettle, or did you add anything else? Also, is brewing a tea the only way to get the benefits of catnip, or simply the best way? Finally, I can tell you from experience that an wigwam-frame style trellis works very, very well for beans and peas, It seems to allow more air in amongst the plants, (it works wonderfully for wild roses and raspberries too😊). Cannot wait to see progress on your new wall. We send our condolences for the loss of your lovely hen, we know how easily we become attached to our 'ladies'.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Hi Jeff! sometimes I just use Nettles for a liquid feed and sometimes Comfrey and sometimes I use the two together. For Catnip, as my cold was just starting and was just a sniffle, tea is the best way to go. If I had a really bad cold/'flu I would take Catnip as a tincture as a tincture is a stronger medicine. thanks for the advice re wigwam for beans and thanks for the condolences, you are very kind xx

[@AmirsAllotment]

Great tips. I have learnt something today 😊 🌱

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad it was helpful xx

[@joldendoves2795]

"Don't cast a clout till t' may's out" it's a good Yorkshire saying refering to the may tree not the month which is out (blossoms) in June.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

When I was young I though it meant til the end of May!!😂

[@OldManFerdiad]

In Scotland we say "ne'er cast a clout until May is out", which means don't cast off your vest(s) until you see the hawthorn (May) blossoms out. Keep warm and get well soon, you've got some great herbal allies there.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That's right! When I was a kid I thought it meant until the end of May! Not much of a summer then😂. The herbal allies have been very helpful and sniffles all gone, very quickly xx

Lovely video Terri.Sorry you are feeling under the weather.Thyme is so reassuring and I always use it too especially when I have a cough.I think thyme goes well with the dark berries for a very comforting tea or tincture.The herb garden looks lovely and very healthy xx Meant to also say we say here in Derbyshire ‘Naer cast a clout ‘til May is out’😊 xx

I hope it is not too bad Ness. Great idea to be prepared. Did you get my last email about the VQ? Did you do it?

[@thefairyjam]

My mum used to say that saying😂we lived in Lancs, I'm in Ireland years. I'm hoping to do a herb garden this year, seedlings doing well but I'm looking for ideas when they go outside for easy access herb garden having arthritic knees finding it a bit daunting as got a lot to go out. Would you take us on a tour of your herb garden with what each plant is and if it needs a bigger space ie a raised bed or a tub/pot etc if you are looking for ideas for videos that is💖🦋🌼🐕🐕🐈‍⬛🌱🌿

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I can do that. All my beds are raised which can make it easier for anyone with arthritic knees. I don't have arthritis and beds are raised just because that is the way I like to work, but the higher they are the easier it would be for you. xx

Its effect is instantly noticeable upon the first taste! My Herb and Spice Pantry Is full to overflowing, ready for the next exciting meal!....😀...😀...! Take care, all..and be well!....😀...😀...!

Great idea 👍🏽 but be mindful, anyone who suffers from epilepsy seizures should avoid rosemary oils, even in shampoo's/room fragrances etc as it can trigger a seizure.

Yes my Nana who lived in Scotland always told me Don’t shed a Clout till May is out. And seems it’s even colder in the South of England than it was in Scotland back then …we don’t seem to get so much of the Sunshine now. Thankyou Terri..love yoyr vdeos full of wonderful advice…I’m just making some Pine Needle Tea this morning first time wish me luck. Lol 👍😅 ❤️🌻🌹☘️

I didn't know that you can use catnip like that. I thought it's an ornamental plant. Thank you very much 🌱👍I'm continuously growing more herbs in my garden. Today I was looking for some herbs against my cold. I used what I had at hand. Thyme, calendula and camomile.

Catnip is wonderful for reducing fevers, very good for children. Hope you are over your cold xx

[@gardentours]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes, thank you very much. The herbs are a big help. Have a nice weekend.

Always learning!

We love planting peas (and strawberries) up on our balcony so when our four year old grandson is over he gets fresh snacks! We have thyme in a pot but I am going to look out for catnip and marjoram to add to our deck herb garden 🌿🪴🥰 Hope your sniffles pass quickly!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Great idea for his fresh snacks. My sniffles disappeared after two cups - I got the tea just in time xx

[@katrinadavenport4550]

I love your informational videos. I want to do all this with the herbs. You have an amazing accent. Lovely cottage and garden.
