Medicinal herbs have been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments from insect bites, grazes, acne, skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis to name a few and there are many thousands of stories if you search hard enough that claim many of the herbs have almost miracle properties.

My hard and fast rule for any claim is to do your own research and make up your own mind.  What we forget is that everyone is unique and what works for one may not work for another.  While there are many people on all forms of social media spreading so-called ‘science’ on why these teas don’t work there are just as many, or more spreading the ‘science’ on why they do work.  So what are you to do?

Use a reputable source for your research, like PubMed or advice from nutritional and functional doctors, nutritionists or herbalists.  They, after all, are the ones that have studied the herbs, their benefits and their uses.

Unfortunately, many mainstream big pharma companies are never going to give a green light or thumb up to anything natural – they can’t patent it and so can’t make any money from it.  But let’s put some of these wonderful herbs into perspective – a good number of modern pharmaceuticals have been synthetically created from….you guessed it – plants!

There is evidence that herbal teas have a really good benefit to our health, especially when it comes to supporting our body with detoxing, gut health and our immune system, but they work best when we also consume a healthier diet and do some exercise.  They offer a boost in energy, can calm the body and mind and get things moving in the digestive system.

A lot of the negative vibes around come from the fact that a lot of tea companies use laxatives and sedatives to give a greater effect.  They are usually companies with poor reputations but not always.  I believe you can get a great benefit from well grown, organic ingredients without adding these dubious ingredients.

With the teas we use here at Storm Botanicals, we worked with natural health practitioners that have many years of experience to ensure we brought you teas that work, are good for your health and are yummy!
