Happy shoutout to my childhood self who was always putting some petals, leaves, dirt and stones in a pot making a magic potion. She was right. If she had the knowledge I have now, she would have been over the moon. She only lacked a person to teach her that:

Yarrow mixed with hot water will make a potion against stomach-ache

Lemon balm leaves and pine needles mixed with hot water will make a potion that makes sad and distress go away

Basil leaves mixed with hot water will make a potion against headache

Nettle mixed with hot water will give power, clarity and calcium to the drinker

Mint leaves mixed with hot water will soothe stomach spasms

Linden flowers mixed with hot water will become a cold medicine

Chamomile with hot water makes a sleepy potion

Elderberry flowers mixed with hot water will become a cold medicine

Elderberries if mixed and cooked, powerful anti-flu and anti-cold medicine

Violet leaves mixed with hot water will give anti-fever medicine, and cures sore throat

Blackberry leaves mixed with hot water will make an anti-diarrhea potion

Sage mixed with hot water will help fight bacteria

Rose petals left in cold water in the sun will create sweet-smelling potion that lifts the mood of the drinker

and she’d be so proud to make actual functioning potions. Herbal tea is a witchy power.
