Natural Remedies

Tea is a great way to offer self-care. You may have noticed that drinking a cup of tea feels nurturing and comforting. This is not your imagination! Scientists have discovered that theanine, a rare amino acid found exclusively in high-quality tea, acts as a natural anti-depressant and has many beneficial and calming effects on the body.

Tea also contains some of nature's most potent antioxidants, and regular tea drinking may help protect cells from the aging/disease-causing effects of free-radicals. In addition to reducing stress and lifting mood, scientists believe that theanine may also increase concentration and memory, combat PMS, aid weight loss, boost immunity, control blood sugar, combat signs of aging, and regulate blood pressure. EGCG (the catechin found in green tea) is renowned for lowering inflammation, while theaflavins and thearubigins (found in black tea) show promising cardiovascular benefits.

Certain herbs have been used for millennia, as part of ancient Ayurvedic or Chinese medicine. For example, chamomile may act as a natural sedative and pain reliever; valerian root offers calming, sleep-inducing effects; rooibos may boost immunity, turmeric and ginger may reduce inflammation; and much, much more.

Evidence suggests that tea can enhance a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Increase your sense of wellness and practice self-care with our medicinal, therapeutic teas and herbal remedies below.
