Joint and knee pain are among the most common complaints as we age—or even earlier for those with active lifestyles, arthritis, or inflammation-related conditions. While conventional medications provide relief, nature offers a powerful and gentle alternative: a healing tea made with rosemary, cloves, and bay leaves.
Used for centuries in traditional medicine, these three aromatic herbs are more than just kitchen staples. Together, they create a synergistic blend that helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relieve pain naturally.

2 cups of water
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 sprig fresh)

Preparation:
Bring the water to a boil.
Add rosemary, cloves, and bay leaves.
Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Strain the tea and let it cool slightly.
