Teaching Herbalism Through Tea Craft

I created this blend to not only bring together ancient longevity tonic herbs from around the world all in one cup, but also to acknowledge the power in focusing on health. Not to “keep from getting sick” or “getting better” once something is wrong, but to focus on maintaining optimal health each and every day. This makes for an overall better life because you feel better. It isn’t that it necessarily makes you live longer, though that isn’t out of the question, but it helps the time and years that you have more full of life, vigor, and vitality.

To do this, I of course wanted to look into the most famous longevity tonics from time honored herbal traditions. I brought in Reishi mushroom from traditional Chinese herbalism hailed for centuries for its immune system nourishing, anti inflammatory, and nervous system nourishing properties. I then added Shatavari and Holy Basil from the Ayervedic world of herbalism. Each known as a rasayana (lengthening of life spans). Shatavari is a nutritive herb bringing moisture to dryness and adrenal nourishment… a little bit of a libido booster too! Holy Basil is a remarkable herb bringing properties helpful to the digestive system, nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and much much more. I then wanted to assure that key systems to the body are tended to so I brought in Hawthorn and Rose to tend to the heart and Gotu Kola and ginger to bring forth extra circulatory health. Good blood flow is crucial to a healthy body. A balanced nervous and adrenal system are key to all systems being able to properly work so on top of the holy basil already included, I invited the original adaptogen, Eleuthero root. Rosemary for remembrance and rosehips are a delicious and gentle anti inflammatory to assure comfort in this wonderful body you’ve been gifted. Cinnamon brings synergy to it all for a well balanced, gentle yet powerful blend of whole system health. Be well my friends. May you live a long and simply beautiful life, appreciating the abundance that is. Nourish what you have and don’t take a moment for granted- it is pure magic.
