When I was young we returned to Mexico to visit relatives every year. My mom would always buy Yerba Buena ( the good herb)from the Tarhaumara Indians of Chihuahua. It is a type of mint.
Whenever we didn't feel well she made us tea of yerba Buena. And sat by our bedside as we drank it.
Now whenever I don't feel well, or just have the blahs I drink Mint tea as it reminds me of my mama taking care of me. I can almost feel her hugs as I sit and drink it
