Medicinal Minute with Ginger Webb
A note from Ginger:
Peach leaves are the ultimate cooling nervine for physical inflammation and emotional irritation so commonly experienced during our long hot Texas summers. The squirrels always get my peaches, but lucky for me, they leave me the leaves. Fresh in a cold infusion, or freshly tinctured, peach leaf is just the medicine some people NEED.
