in the winter it warms me up. per liter of water I put 2 lemons, (you can put more) 3 mint leaves and ginger to taste. it warms me up very well and generally boosts my energy.
in the summer I make a cold drink using the same recipe that I find very refreshing, I just add a few ice cubes.

2 teaspoon of dried nettle or one tea bag on 250 ml hot water. I prefer to drink it neat, without anything else.
I personally used it when I had liver and kidney problems, a cup of tea once or twice a day, and my condition improved within a month.

Elderflower tea

Pour 3 to 5 grams of dried flowers with 250 milliliters of boiled water. Let the mixture sit for at least 10-15 minutes, then strain. This tea is an excellent choice for treating viruses and flu. You can sweeten it if you wish, preferably with honey. Elderberry tea can also be used cold as a gargle for tonsillitis or purulent tonsillitis.

St. John's Wort tea and tincture (Hypericum perforatum)
Since St. John's wort tea is contraindicated with other medications, I would not write about it here. The tincture is very healthy and useful, but I have never made it, so I cannot give you enough good advice on how to do it. I have used it when treating burns, insect bites and swelling. and it has always helped me.

• Alleviates depression: Known for its antidepressant properties, helps with mild to moderate depression.
• Reduces anxiety: Can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety.

• Promotes sleep: Known for its calming effects, helps improve sleep quality.
