Sage, Rosemary & Thyme


Sage
Sage-infused tea is a great herbal remedy to reverse greying of hair, reduce fever, and calm anxiety from brain and nervous disorders.  Sage tea can also be used to soothe gastric ailments brought on by stress and to treat infections of the mouth and throat.
Sage also produces edible flowers in the early summer which make an interesting addition to salads. Both sage leaves and flowers make excellent additions to herbal tea blends.

Rosemary
The pungent aroma of rosemary is another natural deterrent for a number of garden pests including mosquitoes and other flying insects.
Rosemary is also a powerful natural remedy for soothing indigestion, neutralizing bad breath, and relieving pain.  Use rosemary oil or herb-infused water to clear up dandruff, promote hair growth, and relieve skin irritation.  The aroma of rosemary can help to clear the mind of anxiety and relieve everyday stress.

Thyme
Thyme is a good source of antioxidant vitamin A which is beneficial to eye, skin, hair, and nail health.  Thyme is also anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibiotic.  Sip thyme-infused tea for an effective natural remedy against colds, coughs, and sore throats.  As a topical treatment, use thyme oil to help soothe and heal acne, eczema, and psoriasis.  Rinse your scalp with a thyme-infused rinse to treat dandruff and other scalp conditions which may cause hair loss.

In the kitchen, thyme pairs well with sage and rosemary, we blend these three in equal parts, it's our holy trinity.
Try the trinity in stocks, soups, and sauces, chicken, beef, lamb and pork.
