The reason I used ribwort and thyme to make the infusion is that both herbs contain diuretic, cleansing, detoxifying and inflammatory properties. Not only do these herbs treat and help heal bladder and kidney disorders, but they also cleanse and strengthen the blood naturally.
What is Ribwort?
Ribwort is an herb also known as, "Black Plantain." The lovely herb is commonly known as a weed with white tiny blossoms and spiny like leaves. You can find it growing in fields and surprisingly on your lawns. I know in the spring in summer I have the herb growing everywhere. Its usually ready to harvest in mid summer. However, those allergic to the herb should not use this remedy or go anywhere need this herb.
What is Thyme?
Thyme is an herb that grows in must herbal gardens around the world and is commonly used to make remedies to help ease coughing. Many people use the lemony scented herb to flavor meats and vegetable dishes, but I use the small lemon scented leaves dried to make my infusion. There are many species of thyme you could dry and use in your infusion, but I prefer to use garden thyme. Garden thyme is a bush woody herb with small tiny greenish yellow leaves.
Nourishing and Healing Herbs Needed for the Infusion Blend
The nourishing and healing herbs needed for the infusion blend are two cups each of dried ribwort herb and thyme. The herbs I grow in my own garden, and harvest and dry myself. If you do not have them on hand, you can always find them in a whole food organic grocery store or herbal shop in your area. Just make sure the herbs are freshly dried and organic for them to contain the most medicinal healing properties possible.
Creating and Storing the Loose Leaf Infusion Blend
The way I create the loose-leaf infusion blend is by measuring out the herbs and pouring them into a clean sterile jar. Then I mix the herbs together until they are evenly blended. After, I take a lid, seal the jar up tightly, and store the loose-leaf infusion blend in a dark cool dried place so it stays fresh and does not mold.
Making a Cup of the Ribwort and Thyme Infusion Blend for Bladder and Kidney Healthy
To make a lovely nourishing and healing cup of ribwort and thyme infusion, take a tablespoon of the dried infusion blend you made and place it into a tea steeping stone. You can find those at any kitchen or tea shop. After, place herb filled tea-steeping spoon into a mug that holds at least twelve ounces of water. Next, take some boiling water, pour it into the cup and allow the infusion to brew for twenty minutes. When the infusion is ready it will have a lovely golden yellow color and an earthy lemony grass like taste. To help sweeten up the infusion and make it more pleasant to drink add in some freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey. Once the infusion is ready, sip it down and enjoy the healing benefits you will receive from it after.
However, the infusion will make you urinate a lot at first. It is only because again it contains diuretic and detoxifying properties that are cleansing and strengthening the bladder and kidneys. Drinking the tea daily may help improve and treat your bladder and kidney disorder, which will lessen the amount of times you have to use the restroom. I know for me it did, but I also keep in mind that everyone's body is different and reacts differently to different remedies. While this infusion may have helped and still helps, keep my bladder and kidneys strong and healthy, instead of weak and functioning poorly. It may not be the remedy that helps you strengthen and heal your kidneys and bladder depending on the severity of your disorders. However, I still think it is worth trying if you have tried other medications and remedies without successes, but only after speaking with a doctor first to make sure the infusion is safe and right for you to drink and use daily.
