Breathe Easy: Herbal Support For Respiratory Health, Seasonal Allergies & Wintering The Bees
Published: 29/4/2025 11:47 a.m.
In this episode of Herbal Wisdom, we take a deep breath and explore the incredible world of herbs that support our lungs, ease coughs, and help us manage seasonal allergies. From the warming power of thyme and ginger to the soothing properties of marshmallow and goldenrod, we look at how herbal infusions, oxymels, and honeys can be simple yet effective allies during autumn and beyond. Finally, we turn to the bees and learn how they prepare for winter. We discuss practical ways beekeepers can support their hives through this seasonal transition, drawing parallels between hive resilience and our own.
