The last weekend in January Rad Rems workshop crew came together to make up our ‘rest and restore’ tea blend – the final component to our winter warmer packs. The tea is adapted from a blend that has been used for centuaries of Yarrow, Elderflower and Peppermint for the treatment of coughs, colds and flus. We added Mullein for extra support for the lungs as it’s an excellent expectorant, meaning it helps expel mucus. By also adding Oatstraw to the mix the tea blend become nutrient rich with this plant offering calcium, potassium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, dietary fiber and antioxidants.
Once the tea was blended we bagged it up while labelling the bottled fider cider and cough syrup from our previous workshop, packaging the three together ready for distribution.
The winter warmer packs are available for collection at the Autonomous Winter Shelter and The Field free of cost for those in need of winter immunity strengthening and soothing support.
Radical Remedies would love to continue to expand networks for ditribution – if you know of a project / group / event that would like to collaborate in the future get in touch!
