7 self-care remedies for the cold season
Winter often goes hand in hand with catching colds, flus and various other viruses. Thankfully, our team has put their efforts together to give you a few ideas on how to fight these and not get slowed down!
Prevent
- The second Josiane sees the first signs of a virus she prepares a good matcha dose to fight it off.
- If you’re feeling a bit courageous, you can do like Noémie and mix a garlic clove with some L'Éclatante tisane, honey and gin. You’ll scare the cold away (as well as any humans).
Staying alert
- If you take equal parts Labrador Tea and a Chinese green tea, you’ll get a tasty and efficient beverage to not doze off at work. Veronique-approved!
- If you want to stay up and dance all night, go for a generous dose of black tea such as Singell, a Darjeeling First Flush
Soothe
- If you’re suffering from a nasty cough or throat ache, go for the Shui Xian Lao Cong along with a good spoonful of honey
- Looking for next level comfort? Try mixing the Protectrice organic and Taïga sauvage herbal teas along with honey.
- Try simply enjoying an earthy Pu Er bien like the 2011 Menghai or Myanmar. Add some honey and wheat milk.
