April Digestive Focus Month
Botanicals have been used for centuries medicinally, and the western world has begun to rediscover them and their potential uses. Information is compiled from several tea & herbal books to give you alternatives to speak with your health practitioner if you wish to explore those options. Personally I enjoy mixing the botanicals with regular teas (such as Rooibos & Honeybush, any green or black tea will work as well) to create a well rounded flavor. You will also find severla ingredients listed as being found beneficial for some people.
