Herbal Teas



“and the fruit thereof
shall be for meat,
and the leaf thereof
for medicine.”
– Ezekiel 47:12



Herbal Teas

HERBAL TEAS are pure, simple and delicious ways to stay healthy and revitalize from the inside out. They are the most gentle, natural and beneficial way to absorb the healing properties of herbs. A cup of hot or iced tea has the power to soothe and relax, while also delivering herbal healing agents to the bloodstream. Through teas, herbal healing agents are delivered within the body more quickly than capsules, tinctures or infusions.

As with any herb or medication, caution should be practiced. Herbs should never be used as substitutes for a doctor’s prescription. If you are being treated for any illness and are taking prescription medication, seek the advice and consent of your doctor, prior to taking herbs. Children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers should not take herbs without a doctor’s consent.
