Medicinal Minute with Ginger Webb

A note from Ginger:
A very pleasant, mildly carminative tea plant that grows throughout central Texas and into the Southwest. Not every plant we enjoy has to be super medicinal -- to me its more about the joy of seeing these sweet wildflower friends and knowing an age-old way of connecting with them by wrapping them into little tea bundles: the way countless people have done before me, just in the same way.
