Interstitial Cystitis Friendly Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blend at home is one of the smartest moves for anyone managing a sensitive bladder, since store-bought seasoning mixes can hide surprising irritants like citric acid, vinegar powder, or mystery "natural flavors." This fragrant Provençal blend keeps things beautifully simple — just dried herbs you can inspect and trust, combined in minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a spoon. Thyme, rosemary, marjoram, savory, and oregano come together with a whisper of lavender to create something that smells like the south of France and tastes genuinely complex on roasted vegetables, chicken, or bread. The optional fennel seeds add a subtle sweetness if your body tolerates them, and skipping them is just as easy. Once mixed, the blend stores in an airtight jar for up to six months, so you can season confidently all season long without reaching for anything questionable. It's the kind of pantry staple that quietly makes every meal feel a little more special.
