Frequently Asked Questions

What is a therapeutic tea and how are they different from regular tea?

While sipping tea is primarily for the enjoyment it offers, therapeutic or healing teas are taken for the subtle alterations in body chemistry they provide, bring the internal systems back into balance, supporting the body while they hasten healing.  They can cleanse and detoxify, alleviate pain, reduce fever, induce sweating, boost the defensive forces of the body, fight infection, sweeten a sour stomach, calm a disturbed intestinal tract, expel worms, cure scurvy, ease involuntary spasm, stem hemorrhage (both internally and externally), strengthen and stabilize a faulty heart, increase the discharge of urine, cause vomiting, induce coughing to bring up phlegm, dissolve blockages, support a tired liver, calm the nerves, help with a difficult childbirth, even put you to sleep or wake you up.  Therapeutic teas are traditionally brewed from herbs and other natural medicinals found in nature’s pharmacy.

Our products are natural and in many instances certified organic. Wherever appropriate, only natural preservatives are used. Without the addition of chemical preservatives, shelf-life can be somewhat limited:

  • Tea Blends will retain their herbal properties for up to 2 years if stored properly. Store away from direct heat and light, preferably in a glass jar.
  • Therapeutic Salves & Oils, which contain natural oils generally last about 6 – 9 months. The addition of essential oil help to retain them, but if you are not planning on using the product within this timeframe, we recommend refrigeration to extend shelf-life.
  • Face & Body Products generally last for about 1 year. Again, refrigeration is recommended to extend shelf-life beyond this time period.
  • Bath Care – Our Bath Salts and Milk Bath, if stored properly with a sealed lid, will retain freshness for approximately 1 year. Scrubs, due to oil content, last about 6 – 9 months.
