Spring is really close. We had a nice and warm day today so I headed out into the woods. I picked the first plant for my homemade tea – Pulmonaria officinalis.
We pick a flowering plant, from March to May, flowers and green leaves. These spring days, the Pulmonaria officinalis bloom vividly between the bushes and the hedge, along streams, forested slopes, in shady deciduous forests; at first red, then the bell-shaped flowers turn purple and finally blue. Pulmonaria officinalis has retained its reputation only in folk medicine, such as tea for lung diseases, respiratory cold, flu, cough, hoarseness, and asthma. Now I need to dry the plant in shade and draft. I have to make sure that the plant retains a nice green color. I store the dried plant in glass jars.

I knew nothing of his healing qualities.
I’m glad you learned something new. ?
We have this flower, too, but I never used it to make tea. Maybe I should try!
I also use it for a very short time. Since I am retired I have more free time and can spend more time on my hobbies.
Thank you very much. She really is beautiful.
Beautiful flower! We have it here, but I didn’t know its name.
Thank you. I haven’t known this plant for a long time either.
Never heard of this lovely plant.
I do not know if the plant thrives in your country.
Great plant to share with us all.
Thank you. I like to share my own experiences.
i am not sure I’ve seen this plant but it is beautiful. is it a strong tea?
The plant is really nice to look at too. How strong the tea is depends on how much the plant uses.
fair enough – i like tea that is less strong, but I do like flavor. I wills ee if I can find some tea if we go to the store this week.
(things are closing around us as of today)
Of course I know this flower and have already had a lot of tea …. I have to go to the forest and collect it
Hope the tea helped you.
I don’t know what to say … if it didn’t help me it didn’t hurt either
I agree. But you drank home-made tea. ?
That’s true, and I got it myself
I have never heard of this type of plants. It proves beneficial sue to its medicinal value.
In our country this plant is very popular.
It’s good that you have that plant now at this current time
I am glad to know some medicinal plants. I’m happy to use them.
As its name suggests it has to be something to do with lungs. I have not come across this plant so far.
I do not know whether it thrives in your country.
Very interesting about this plant. I have never seen it before.
She is really interesting and already healing.
