DETOX {eliminatory}

Purpose: This is one powerful blend of herbs focused on aiding the eliminatory organs to push unwanted matter and return to their most healthy state. Herbs focused on kidney, liver, lymph and gut health combine together to nurture and nudge the body into a state of "self cleaning".

Pick me if: You have been wanting to help your body remove unwanted buildup but want to do it in healthy and supportive way.  

Flavor profile: Earthy, rooty, spiced

Organic Ingredients:  Pau de Arco bark, Burdock root, Dandelion root, Yellow Dock root, Cleavers aerials, ground Cinnamon, Ginger root, Anise seed, Senna leaf, Clove powder.  Caffeine free

Understanding the Ingredients: You can feel it when you are just bogged down with... ick.  Buildup and toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis.  The key to helping the body eliminate them more effectively is through herbs that support those systems and not just laxatives and diuretics which end up irritating our oftentimes already over taxed systems.  Each herb was chosen for its ability to tend to a certain eliminatory organ and the amount was chosen in accordance with it being tolerable by most while being effective.  Pau De Arco bark is one of my favorite bowel tonics noted for its effects on candidal fungal overgrowth.  Burdock root is a beloved and potent lymphatic tonic while Dandelion root comes in and tends to the liver.  Cleavers are known to be incredible lymphatic tonics while Yellow dock is noted for bowel health and balance.  I added just a dash of Senna to help it al move and spices to aid with digestive ease.  

How I use it: I prefer to drink 1 teabag (or 1.5 Tb loose leaf) every day until package is empty. Do not fast while drinking this tea (the body needs fiber to carry out what's released) or drink alcohol. 

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 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 15 minutes.  Ideally pouring off bits of the tea as the rest continues to steep.  I really enjoy placing loose leaf in a French press, pouring off the tea to drink, and recovering with more water for a full day infusion of full benefit.  

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.
