Understanding the Ingredients: This blend was created with powerful herbs utilized for centuries for their benefits in aiding the body dealing with systemic musculoskeletal imbalances. Many different herbal modalities and traditions come together in this cup for a powerful anti inflammatory aid. I combined anti inflammatory herbs, immune system nourishers for a balancing effect if issue is auto immune related, and circulatory tonics to assure nice blood flow. DEVIL'S CLAW- Devil’s Claw was introduced into European herbal practice in the 1960s from its long history of use in southern Africa as an antiinflammatory and analgesic. It is a “building” herb meaning that it builds upon itself with longer use. JAMAICAN DOGWOOD BARK- One of the most powerful analgesic herbs I know to provide comfort in the moment. WHITE WILLOW BARK- A more well know relieving herb that actually works much better over time. It helps to slowly over time rather than in the moment like some texts suggest. MEADOWSWEET- Lovely relieving herb that also aids the stomach if damaged from NSAID overuse which can oftentimes happen when dealing with chronic inflammatory issues. SKULLCAP- Anti inflammatory herb that also is soothing to the nervous system and traditionally used to relieve muscular tension. TURMERIC- Well known anti-inflammatory herb for a good reason…. it's awesome. The whole root has shown to be much more absorbable and potent than single constituent extractions. PRICKLY ASH BARK- circulatory tonic to increase assimilation. GINGER- Helps the brew taste nice and offers warmth and synergy to enhance the efficacy of the blend. CINNAMON- Helps the brew taste nice and offers synergy to enhance the efficacy of the blend.
Recommendations: Best drank over a longer period as its benefits show well after weeks of use. Some find great relief drinking it as needed while others find it much more helpful if drank daily or every other day. You can make large batches and keep them cool in the fridge for cold tea or reheat it. Due to this bitterness, some people like to steep 1 teabag or 1Tb loose leaf in as little as 6oz water to take in smaller shot-like portions. Others find the flavor quite enjoyable. Bitter flavor has great benefit in the digestive process so if you can find enjoyment in the flavor, it comes with rewards.
Not your ordinary teabag: Our hand-made teabags are large since they are a full portion to provide you with the intended benefit and desired support. Each one may be re-steeped several times throughout the day. The brewed tea may also be saved in the fridge over night and enjoyed chilled the following day. They are each handcrafted in perfect measurement within a microplastic free teabag and hand stapled with a stainless steel staple. This is slow craft herbalism with care.
{10 pack is 2.5oz and 3 pack is .75oz }
Loose leaf or bagged are both created in very small batches in our woodland teahouse from thoughtfully sourced ingredients and professionally formulated by Leah, owner and clinical herbalist.
HOW TO BREW:
Bagged: Use 1 tea bag per 12-16 oz of 200 ºF water. Begin drinking when temperature is comfortable but never remove tea bag. Add more hot water once the cup is finished for a second or third infusion for full benefit.
Loose Leaf: Use 1.5 Tb per 16 oz of 200 ºF water and steep a minimum of 20 minutes. (Simmer on the stove for 10 minutes if you'd like to enjoy it faster). Ideally pour off bits of the tea as the rest continues to steep.
The longer these herbs steep the better and more potent the herbal infusion will be. Add sweetness if you prefer.
Earth first packaging: Our packaging is intentionally minimal and environmentally conscious. The kraft bags holding our teas are 100% recycled and backyard compostable. Our teabags are compostable, as well as the herbs inside, once the staple is removed. They love to return to the earth. We are constantly seeking ways we can do better and lessen our impact.
