Happy Day 19! Plantain featured in this image ( the smaller ribbed leaves, not the large darker ones- that’s Comfrey😊) is another incredible ally for us, especially when it comes to sinus health & allergy season. Make Plantain leaf tea ( gather 3-4 leaves from a sustainable location) chop or tear the leaves into pieces and place in a mug and pour hot water over them. Wait until the tea is warm- not too hot. Pour the tea into your neti pot and add your desired amount of sea salt. Use your neti per normal. Plantain leaf tea is mucilaginous (slimy) so it coats and soothes the mucous membranes and adds lubrication while calming irritation & inflammation without causing congestion. You can also add plantain leaves to your salads, soups and smoothies as it helps to coat and soothe internally & aids in flighting allergies from the inside out. Spring is the best time to gather Plantain leaves as they become more bitter as the season continues. Keep up the good work! Happy Neti-ing!❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #netipot #netipotchallenge #jalaneti #plantain #plantagomajor #plantagorugelii #kapha #kaphaseason #allergyseason #allergies #sinushealth #ayurveda #ayurvedalife #preventativehealth #jupiterslabyrinth (at Jupiter's Labyrinth)

Happy Neti Pot Challenge Day 16! Besides using a neti pot we can shift the food we eat toward a “kapha pacifying” or “kapha balancing” diet. Foods that are naturally bitter (greens), astringent (lentils, beans) & pungent/spicy (ginger, arugula) can also help with keeping excessive kapha ( aka sinus congestion / water & mucous build up) from taking over this time if year. Thank you @joyfulbelly for this awesome kapha balancing recipe. Can’t wait to try it!

Neti Pot Challenge Day 10! Did you know you can ADD herbal extracts to your neti pot? It’s true! 1-3 drops of Goldenseal alcohol tincture is one of go-to’s for sinus infections... you know when your mucous changes from clear- to white-to yellow and then GREEN?! Goldenseal is an excellent herbal antibiotic here. You add the sea salt to your neti per usual & then add the tincture. The extract will be absorbed right into your sinuses on the spot & start doing it’s work. A lifesaver. How’s your neti pot experience going??!! 🌿 #netipot #netipotchallenge #jalaneti #kaphaseason #kapha #kaphadosha #sinushealth #sinusinfection #goldenseal #hydrastiscanadensis #antibiotic #herbalantibiotic #jupiterslabyrinth (at Jupiter's Labyrinth)
