Sweet Citrus Potpourri

Another way I use Citrus  to combat colds and flu is a potpourri I have simmering on the stove.  The steam releases moisture into the air which can relieve congestion and coughing and the ingredients are designed to be a germ fighting team, anti-viral and calming. This potpourri, based on plants, includes a combination of citrus fruit, leaves, and spices. I use 100% organic substances that produces a healthy and pleasant scent. 

Ingredients

• Several lemons quartered
• 3 broken cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 cup whole cloves
• 3 broken bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon cardamon
• 1 quart water (add more as needed)

In my opinion, this stove top potpourri purifies the air and improves health and wellness, as well as smelling good too.
