V For Vitality: Herbal Tea

Description

For Women and Men Alike

V For Vitality herbal tea is an excellent blend that I created for remineralization and hormonal focus for everyone. I hear so many people focusing on women’s hormones when men are struggling too. True feminism addresses both.

V For Vitality At A Glance

I created this blend to be as much a nutritive drink as well as an overall homeostasis blend. Homeostasis is the body’s ability to regulate its internal environment regardless of external changes. The goal in my natural journey is to get as close to homeostasis as possible.

• Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica) – due to Nettle’s solvency parameters it is best to drink it in a tea because the bioactive ingredients come out easier for the body to absorb. Nettle is great for inflammation, allergies, prostate health, hormones. It is a nutritional powerhouse containing iron and calcium.
• Oatstraw (Avena sativa) – deeply nourishing to the nervous system and is rich in B vitamins. On its own, Oatstraw is a nervine and vasodilator. It is great for chronic fatigue, anxiety, and restoring the NS.
• German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomillia) – is widely used to sleep and relaxation however it is very good at reducing inflammation, indigestion, and skin ruptures.
• Spearmint (Mentha spicata) – this mint is low in menthol, very sweet, and protects cells from oxidative stress. It inhibits bacterial growth, is an excellent carminative. Spearmint has been used to reduce androgen levels which can help with PCOS.
• Dandelion Leaf (Taraxacum officinale) – what is there not to say about dandelion? It is one of my favorite herbs. It’s a digestive, diruetic, high in potassium, increases urine output w/o lowering potassium, increases bile flow to aid in removing waster from liver, and contains vital minerals plus vitamins: A, C, D, & B.
• Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) – last but not least is nature’s water pill. Horsetail is high in silica (up to 25%). This magical herb helps with bone and tissue remineralization, enhances collagen, and stimulates bone building cells. It’s a great herb to add to your homemade shampoo.

Enjoy

I like to enjoy one cup a day but under chronic issues that you’ve discussed with your health care provider, 3 cups/day could be recommended.

The base of my V For Vitality is the Nettle/Oatstraw creating the most nutrition, followed closely by the the Chamomile/Spearmint for relaxation, and coming in lastly the Dandelion/Horsetail addressing specific issues without drying out the internal systems. Enjoy a cup with some lemon and manuka honey for a delicious beverage.
