BLADDER RELEAF

A bladder tissue supportive blend specifically formulated as a soothing and anti inflammatory aid.

Purpose: .Urinary system care for the inflamed and irritable bladder. I created this blend for my own needs; I have interstitial cystitis and have since childhood. This condition is what got me into herbalism, and this blend of herbs is my go-to. It brings me pain relief as well as anti-inflammatory and demulcent benefits. I decided that others out there may benefit from it as well. Here’s to you my friend.

Pick me if: Your bladder could use some soothing. IYKYK

Flavor profile: earthy, herbaceous, smooth

Organic Ingredients: Plantain leaf, Marshmallow root, Parsley root Caffeine free

Understanding the Ingredients: I created this blend over a decade ago out of need for myself. Interstitial cystitis is a condition that I have suffered with since I was a child, and it is also what got me into herbalism. I have found incredible relief, comfort and tending from herbs and that is saying a lot for this difficult to deal with condition. I made this herbal tea to not only help with the pain but also to tend to the irritated and ulcerated tissues. I didn't just want to mask the pain, I wanted to bring actual relief to my urinary system.  I included Plantain leaf because of its incredible power to not only offer anti inflammatory benefit but also tighten and tone ulcerated and boggy tissues while somehow offering a soothing demulcent property. It's been a best friend of mine for years. I then added parsley root which is a urinary analgesic taught to me many years ago by an Amish herbalist who called upon it for almost any bladder pain condition. This herb truly has brought some amazing pain relief quite quickly to me when I needed it most. Lastly, I added in Marshmallow root that is not only soothing and relieving but it is also anti inflammatory to those highly irritated tissues bringing deeper benefit. I personally drink this blend at least a few times per week and daily if I’m experiencing a more sensitive time. I can’t express how much relief and peace of mind it has brought me.

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.

I am by no means claiming that this product diagnoses, heals, treats or anything the medical condition interstitial cystitis. I am not allowed to claim that without this herbal tea going through drug trials which it of course has not. it is not a drug and is not intended to be. This is an herbal product I created for my own specific needs and found great comfort in. I wanted to share it with those that may as well.
