Wisdom of the ages says that a good cup of tea can cure what ails you. Traditional Medicinals tales that a step further, with tea blends that are actually licensed Natural Health Products – meaning they’re recognized as safe and effective over-the-counter remedies.
Here are just some of the health issues these teas are designed to help with:
- Insomnia
- Lactation
- Detox
- Digestion
- Relaxation
- Appetite
- Regularity
- Sore Throat
- Cold & Flu Symptoms
When looking for a tea with verified health benefits, look for a Natural Product Number (NPN) prominently displayed.
According to the Traditional Medicinals website, the health claims on their tea boxes are supported by evidence, which may include evidence of traditional use, clinical trial data or published studies.
To meet the strict Natural Health Product licensing requirements, they must ensure that herbs used meet the high standard of pharmacopoeial grade – ensuring the quality and the correct effect for their intended purpose.
Each herb has its own quality standard to ensure optimal activity, such as high essential oil content, the right amount of bitterness, or a specific level of active compounds. The result is tea that has power.
Sustainability is continuously brewing.
The variety of plants used in Traditional Medicinal blends is fascinating. Beginning with Chamomile (good for calming the nervous system and indigestion) you can scroll through 11 of the most popular plants on the Traditional Medicinals website and learn more about where each is grown and what its properties are.(Here’s a link to learn more about the harvesting of Slippery Elm Bark for the Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat blend)
