Disclaimer: Consult your medical practitioner before consuming herbal medicine, especially if you are taking medication, pregnant, or nursing. There isn’t an herbal cure-all that will work for everyone. Your body, lifestyle, diet, and self-care habits all have a significant effect on your health.
Herbal infusions are an easy way to help bring comfort and healing to your healthy lifestyle. While many of the health benefits of herbs are still being verified by science, ancient medicine has recognized their effects for thousands of years.
When we began evaluating herbal infusions years ago, we realized many functional herbal blends tasted medicinal, and people would often add honey or sugar to make them more palatable. As our Chief Leaf Tim Smith often says, “The healthiest tea is the tea you will drink!”
We worked with local certified clinical herbalists to guide our creation of functional herbal blends you’ll enjoy as a standalone brew without additional sweeteners. To do this, we went through several rounds of blending to compliment powerful medicinal herbs with tasty natural flavors.
The result of this collaboration and research is our Harmony Herbal Teas Series. Each herbal blend focuses on a specific area of health.
