WHY HERBAL TEAS?
Nature's Pharmacopia
Since the earliest days of the human race, herbs and herbal derivatives have been used to treat a wide variety of ailments. By experimentation and intuition, early civilizations acquired a vast knowledge of the therapeutic effects of herbs and other medicinal plants. This body of knowledge was added to by succeeding generations.
For thousand of years the beneficial ingredients in herbs have been extracted using water. Steeping in boiling water is usually the most effective way of breaking down the cell walls to release the active components, resulting in an infusion, which is both palatable and effective.
Gentle Healing Power
Today, many people have come to rely on the modern chemical synthetics, which have gradually replaced the proven traditional remedies. An example of this is willow bark, historically used by indigenous cultures to lower fevers and relieve headaches or mild pain. Chemists now know that willow bark contains salicin, the natural precursor to synthetic salicylic acid, which is the active ingredient in all the ASA products commonly used today.
Although modern chemical preparations can be effective and faster acting than traditional natural remedies, many have harmful side effects. We are now realizing that the gradual effect of natural medication, especially in the form of herbal teas, is far less stressful for the body. The gentle healing action, while often not dramatic, is more effective in the long run and easier on the body.
Now More Punch Per Pouch!
Our new, oversize tea bags not only hold more herbs, but by increasing the amount of surface contact between the herbs and the water, they improve the potency of the extraction - giving you more herbal medicine per bag. We still use the best quality unbleached paper tea bags. Due to the greater size of the bags, boxes now contain 20 bags instead of 24. The net weight of the boxes is unchanged.
Flora's Medicinal Teas can also be purchased Loose Leaf.

Preparing The Teas:
In order to receive the maximum therapeutic benefits, tea bags should be infused in a cup of boiling water and allowed to steep for at least ten minutes. (See the individual boxes for instructions and cautions.) Flora's Medicinal Teas are noted for their aroma and flavour. A slice of lemon often adds a delicate taste, or for those who prefer, the teas can be sweetened to taste with honey.
Loose teas are best infused using an unbleached cotton tea net, available from Flora at the store where you buy your tea. These reusable tea nets last for months and are superior to metal tea balls.
Adults may take one to three cups of tea per day for four to six weeks. Not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
