 I just wanted a nice easy recording day Yeah, we're gonna try to do this fast because it's supposed to start raining 10 amazing benefits of a honeysuckle tea Now honeysuckle isn't as well known over here in the west, but it's been used for Thousands of years over in the east where it's been used since gustatang dynasty Now there are two main varietals of honeysuckle. There's Lanocera Japonica and Lanocera cerulea. The problem with it is that it's become a major invasive species in North America There's about 180 species only 17 of which are usable Some of the berries from some of the species are bad. Luckily the tea is generally made with the Flowers not so much with the berries So when you're looking about the problem with the berries, you're not gonna be having a problem so much with the actual tea Okay, immune benefits. Now there's lots of antioxidants including things like quercetin Then lots of a good amount of vitamin C a little bit of fiber and some other vitamins involved with honeysuckle tea that it just makes it really helpful. Of course honeysuckle tea You know when you're compared it to an extract and whatnot isn't as potent in the amount of vitamins and minerals that it's going to have Some doctors have even said that honeysuckle can't cure but it can make dealing with COVID problems easier Thanks to its immune-boosting, busting, immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties Diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, constipation or gastroenteritis that persists due to food poisoning or some other problems All are the usual suspects without the exception of maybe the gastroenteritis of problems that'll come up with Digestive issues and all of these things have been said that honeysuckle tea can deal with. Oh boy Here comes the rain again. Another unique one is that honeysuckle tea is actually supposed to be very helpful for people with hepatitis C Because people with hepatitis C tend to have problems with nausea and vomiting can also help in curing dysentery and ulcers Oh pause My brilliant outside recording endeavor is being thwarted by the rain Thanks rain. Love you, but hate you There's days fighting me every single way imaginable, but it will not be taken down So next we have the anti-inflammatory and pain benefits Now these are basically the same thing because most of the pain benefits come from the anti-inflammatory aspects of honeysuckle tea and then there was the plane Sipping on a cup of honeysuckle tea has been a recommended remedy for headaches for many generations There are several studies about honey There are several studies about how honeysuckle can help with inflammation and pain Though most of these are on the honeysuckle berries and extract not the tea What you'll often find is that the tea can still help as soon as you have it You can feel an immediate effect whereas if you have an extract or something else along those lines It tends to take a little bit of time before it takes effect According to the studies the anti-inflammatory benefits are supposed to be especially helpful for arthritis Now the skin care benefits are as an area where you're actually not supposed to drink the tea You're supposed to put it on you, but you still actually brew the tea and then you use it kind of like a poultice A little wind More fun stuff There's dogs barking and motorcycles I'm so loving this Honeysuckle tea can be used to treat cuts and abrasions as well as skin rashes like poison oak In fact for centuries indigenous americans have boiled fresh honeysuckle leaves and bathed skin moods with the tea to prevent infection and speed healing Now you'll often find honeysuckle oil added to skin creams and ointments for things like eczema psoriasis and rosacea Honeysuckle tea is supposed to help the aging process as well by fighting free radicals and stopping things like skin damage and wrinkles Okay, it's time to drink your honeysuckle tea again Honeysuckle is a potent expectorant and can be used for all kinds of respiratory problems including colds flu symptoms bronchitis COPD asthma fever and even pneumonia.

Honeysuckle teas antioxidants and anti-inflammatories are great for the helping the onset of cancer, especially quercetin, which I already mentioned Before lots of people also make homemade mouthwash with honeysuckle tea This is thanks to its astringent and antibacterial properties Now research has also shown that honeysuckle tea can help with overall gum health bad breath cavities and sore throats I know you aren't stupid at least I hope you're not but just so you heard it from me Don't gargle your tea while it's hot Yeah That would be bad Research has also shown that honeysuckle tea is a great antiviral because it is an immunomodulatory agent Which means it can fight infections and allergies Now there are also various other benefits that honeysuckle tea could possibly good for but I had didn't find that much research on them yet So I'm just listening to them all right here. There you go. Enjoy And as far as pregnancy now I've heard Multiple multiple sides on this a lot of people are careful about it They are always arved over careful when it comes to pregnancy and teas with honeysuckle I did hear some talk about herbalists and other people actually using the tea during pregnancy Especially during the early stages of pregnancy to help with the nausea and things like that And also it's been used throughout the years to help relax women during childbirth So there are actually lots of things saying that it can't be used while you're pregnant and you know giving birth But of course the current people are always very Sensitive about these things when there isn't research. So they say oh be careful when using it So there you go now for some people the topical application of it can cause some skin irritation If it's something you might be allergic to excess honeysuckle can also irritate your digestive track And a person could get dehydrated because it's a bit of a diuretic It's good for colds and flus, but it says if you have a cold you may want to avoid the Japanese honeysuckle Also, it shouldn't be used with people with spleen deficiencies spleen deficiencies spleen And as always there are certain medications that will react poorly with it Especially things like blood clotting medications because taking honeysuckle along with those Might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding How do you make honeysuckle tea? Well the easiest way is you put about one to two tablespoons of The dried honeysuckle in about eight ounces of water fresh flowers You probably want to use about a half a cup to a full cup depending on just how strong you want it I've heard from several different sources that you want to do it a little bit less than boiling Whereas most herbal teas you're going to do at boiling Now a lot of people say that you should probably do it Um just a little bit under that and when it comes down to it Five to ten minutes a little bit more towards ten minutes because it's a very mild tea So when you're having it you either want to probably have it with some other herbs I've heard having it alongside Astrologous that or some other more flavorful herbs is probably going to be best maybe some honey, of course Yeah by itself, it's pretty light. If you like a super light tea go for it by itself. Otherwise That's it. I'm tired of this. It actually is decent at the moment Besides the motorcycle happening right now. I'm leaving.
