Top 10 Ways to Ease Herbs into Your Health Care Routine
1. Add antioxidant foods (like tomatoes and spinach) and herbs and spices (like turmeric and rosemary) to your pantry.
2. Toss the hydrogen peroxide and get some tea tree oil instead.
3. Visit an herb shop and check out the bulk herb section. Open each jar, give it a good sniff, and go home with at least one bag of dried plant matter.
4. Ease yourself to sleep with a massage using lavender essential oil (you might need a partner for this one).
5. Add some digestion-friendly flaxseeds to your oatmeal.
6. Take a walk (and some lemon balm) the next time you're feeling stressed.
7. Give your hair color a boost with a rinse made with chamomile or black tea.
8. Substitute a cup of mate or rooibos tea for your usual morning coffee.
9. Replace your bath bubbles with a few drops of rose essential oil.
10. Skip the colds this winter with astragalus.
