Green Tea and Thyme Skin Toner
4 to 5 good quality green tea bags or several heaping teaspoons of green tea leaves
1/3 to 1/2 cup of fresh thyme roughly chopped
2 cups of mineral or vitamin water 
small pot
Combine all ingredients in a small pot. Bring the pot to a boil then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the tea and thyme steep until cool. This will make a rich, highly concentrated green tea and thyme solution.
Squeeze out each tea bag thoroughly over the pot, press the thyme with the back of a spoon to release every bit of the herb, and then strain liquid into a container.
Many herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and mint freeze very well for use in recipes all year long.
Use a cotton ball to tone the skin every day. The tea thyme toner can be kept for at least a week in the refrigerator.
Thyme, a very common garden herb, complements the tea in this recipe because it promotes circulation in addition to possessing antioxidant, astringent, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Thyme also has properties as an antiseptic and is used medicinally to treat sores and inflammation.

The body’s defense system is only as dependable as the support it gets. Some people are just blessed with a good set of genes that ensure a strong immune system. For others who are not as lucky, they must work for immunity by observing proper nutrition, sufficient rest, a healthy active lifestyle, plenty of sun and reduced stress. Recent studies have shown that getting enough of these while cutting down on unhealthy habits and avoiding processed foods restores the immune system to peak performance.
