Herbs used in this organic herbal tisane
Organic Chamomile Flower is gentle and effective in promoting relaxation and digestive health*. Chamomile is a gentle herb known throughout most of the world. Often drunk as a tea for calming and to soothe the digestive tract. It is mild enough to be administered to babies.
Chamomile has magical implications for attracting money and, accordingly, as a hand rinse for gamblers needing good luck.
According to herbalist Matthew Becker the type of person who responds best to chamomile is one “who complains often…fretful children…and adults who act like children.” Chamomile has what well known and respected herbalist Rosemary Gladstar describes as “soft power” to relieve occasional stress and tension.
Organic Calendula Flower: Nicholas Culpepper, a 17th century botanist, herbalist and astrologist, mentioned using calendula flowers as a tea to comfort the heart. Astrologically calendula is associated with the sun and fire element and was believed to have magical powers of protection and clairvoyance. Flowers strung above doorposts were said to keep evil out and to protect one while sleeping if put under the bed.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine calendula (called jin zhan ju) is considered energetically neutral and drying and is therefore used to support healthy skin. Traditionally in North American indigenous cultures it has been used as an herbal tea to combat the occasional upset stomach.
Organic Lemon Balm: Used since ancient times to calm the heart and the body and to uplift the spirits. Ayurvedic medicine uses lemon balm to calm the stomach and balance mood.

How to Make your Organic Herbal Tisane
Prepared as an infusion. Use about 1 heaping teaspoon for every 8 ounces of not quite boiling water (about 170-175°F). Pour hot water over plant matter, steep 7 – 10 minutes.
Note – Never use an aluminum pot to prepare a tisane; glass, stainless steel and ceramic are best. Aluminum is a reactive metal and can react with the herbal tea. Depending on the plant type, it may also produce a very toxic drink.
