Dr. Altman’s Thyme Tea Recommendations.

1. Start with Thyme Spice -from your spice rack.

2. Sprinkle it over the bottom of a coffee cup, cover the bottom.

3. Pour in about an inch of steaming water.  You are not making a full cup of drinking tea.

4. Cover the cup

5. Steep for 5 minutes

6. You have a few choices here.  You can either dip a Q-tip in the solution and roll it around inside the nose.  You can fill a spray bottle and squirt it in the nose.  Or…

My favorite:  Filter the solution, so you only have a liquid.  Then fill the Neti Pot about a 1/3 full, then fill the rest with warm salt water.  Pour through your nose, following the instructions that come with the Neti Pot.

7. Make a new batch for the next day.

8. If your sinuses feel better, then tell me.

Happy breathing,

Dr. Altman
