Peppermint Tea and Stevia

So I have had this the past couple of days. Exactly as I said in my post...very hot peppermint tea with Stevia. It seems that when I do this (I've been sick with stubborn cold/flu from family going on 2 months now, won't go away, keeps recycling...)

Anyway, I get this extraordinary thick sinus mucus breakup that happens. I think it's the way I steep the tea, very hot water on top of the dry tea bag and powdered (real) stevia, it must release all the oils at this hot temperature and activate the stevia or something... but it has to be super hot water added directly to stevia and dry tea bag in a coffee cup as this seems to thermally activate something.

Again I try to get the real Stevia packets...my brand is SweatLeaf (not all the sugar alcohols of Truvia and other "-itols" the other ones contain).

So given Sapi's work and others on Stevia breaking up biofilm, another thing left to do is add some coconut oil to it, but I don't like greasy tea, so maybe a cookie or sweet with a tsp of coconut oil might be a nice one-two punch to my quasi-permanent bugs.

Any way very hot tea, any warm fluids or liquids are good for this, that has to be part of it, cold and flu therapy, on top of the whole TBI-things. So the Stevia and peppermint is both soothing, relaxing and seems to have an extra anti-bacterial biofilm break down effect

Thanks Village Crazy Lady, I don't think I'm allergic, actually it seems like it is helping with residual Lyme stuff, Babs, Bart, who knows what else. It seems like it is stimulating my immune system in a good manageable way and chunks of mucus-y biofilms are making their way out. The cold flu bugs, Lyme n co and friends, and/or along with my most recent visiting virus. It's not unpleasant as I can spit out most of it. Weather change, dry weather, mold spores and yes various allergens like ragweed, dry airborne mold from past floods, cypress pollen, pine pollen, get stirred up. I live in a hot humid environment, but for about 4 months a year it is almost perfect weather...I've never had one of those allergy tests yet, could be about time (or money if I had it) for that...

But I like the way you think!

Now to decipher an allergic reaction from a beneficial herx... that's hard sometimes...that's why I'm still afraid to let a bee sting me, although I think it might be good in the long run.

I meant this post as a recommending of quality Peppermint tea, hot and quality Stevia as an adjunct therapy, as I'm getting a pretty good, head-clearing and calming feeling from it.
