6- passionflower tea from wild vines. deeply calming. good for the restless nights the heat brings.
7- calendula flowers, steeped in oil for weeks. makes a healing salve for cracked hands and dry skin.

9- hibiscus iced tea, tart and red and full of vitamin c. brew a whole jar and keep it cold.
10- yarrow tea for fevers. it makes you sweat, which is the point.
