Easy DIY Tummy Tea!

Soothing Tummy Tea! 

A natural and easy tea that can soothe painful gas, tummy upsets and sometimes hiccups! Kid and Baby* friendly!  Keeps up to 4 weeks in the fridge, (freezes ok for 3-6 months?)

(You can substitute maple syrup or other sweetener instead of honey for infants under one year. *Honey is not recommended for infants under one year)

3 Cups of water 2 Tablespoons (or a “knuckle) of fresh ginger *  2 Tablespoons of Fennel Seed 1 Tablespoon of Dill 1 Tablespoon of Dried Chamomile ¼ cup of Honey or other Sweetener (Add while still warm, just before straining)

Add everything, but the honey, to a pot and bring it to a soft boil (Almost boiling/not rolling. Med-High for about a minute can do it depending on your stove) Bring down the heat to Low or Med-Low to simmer for 15 minutes. The flowers and dill will eventually sink into the water. Take off heat and let stand for a minute.  Then add the honey and stir it in. 

(ginger spice can work too, though I’d make that half to one whole tablespoon for powdered root. The root in the first photo is not the amount I used, I’d use a 1/3 of that root)

Strain! This makes a little more than 2 cups of tea. 

I double strained it with only two layers of Muslin, 4 layers would have been redundant. I could have layered the muslin in before straining it the first time to save myself some mess and time. The metal strainer let the fine dill pass through. 

Store in fridge for up to 4 weeks. Or freeze!

Waaaaaaay cheaper than store bought “Gripe Water” ;)

Chamomile is sometimes an allergen. Check with your pediatrician before giving to an infant. 

Dose: 12+: 1 Tablespoon 2-12: 2 teaspoons (10mL) Infant: 1 - 5mL* 

(*Consult a pediatrician for the month of infant and dose, you can skip the chamomile as well if your introducing it later in case of allergen risk. The beauty of knowing exactly what your making! For babies I recommend getting a small syringe. I’ve kept and cleaned the syringes that come with the store bought gripe water. It goes up to 5mL. )

I am not a doctor, I am currently training to be an herbalist, but I am not a medical professional in any capacity.

🫖set the example ♻️

Individual actions are everything when it comes to changing the world. If you want to see change in the world you need to change first. Looking back on my green social marking class one of the biggest things I learned about changing people’s behaviour to become more environmentally friendly is that peer to peer interaction is one of the most effective methods in creating behaviour change. People also can not be forced into changing, they need to be ready to make commitments on their own to become more environmentally friendly. My advice for getting other people to care about environmental issues is to lead by example and share your passion with your peers without guilting them. Getting people to change their behaviour to become more environmentally friendly often includes people spending more money, more time and choosing a less efficient method of doing something so it is important to highlight the benefits of the actions. This method (community based social marketing) is not only limited to environmental behaviour but can be applied to other types of behaviour change, I encourage everyone who wants to create change to look into CBSM as I have found it very useful.

So thanks to everyone who cares a whole awful lot, it’s because of people like you that will make the world a better place <3

How to fight sadness and depression and get you life back in your hands; is to do just that, fight it everyday you wake up, be thankful for everyday before that you overcame it and survived that day. Don’t worry about tomorrow instead plan for it but leave it there in time don’t give tomorrow energy needed for today and live right now. Each minute you’re a new person who owes no one anything but you owe yourself honestly to self and you owe yourself acceptance.

Find your joyful moments, change the way you describe your emotions, don’t “suffer” from anything, experience and learn and carry on. Love you like no one else will then you will attract nothing but love in life.

“‘One thing do I teach, oh my disciples: suffering and deliverance from suffering.’ It was in this way that Gautama the Buddha, living in the 6th century BC, gave the gist of his whole teaching.

And it’s for this reason that many commentators and critics of Buddhism have called it a way of escape — because of its tremendous concern with the problem of human pain as the fundamental problem of life, and the means of deliverance from pain.

But I believe this is really a very mistaken criticism because there is nothing that is so much the very essence of suffering as the fear of suffering itself.”

— Alan Watts
