Healing Properties

At the age of 18 I was first diagnosed with the beginning stages of RA (rheumatoid arthritis).

• Be physically active

• Use heat or cold therapy

• Take medication

• Commit to a healthy lifestyle

These are the things they told me to try in order to avoid flare ups, so that's what I did. I am committed to being active, I take epsom salt baths on the regular but I don't care for medication and personally try to avoid it until necessary. I needed a natural alternative way to help. In order to do this I needed to know what exactly RA was and how to cure it. Here's what I found though... Rheumatoid arthritis is not something you can cure.

So what is rheumatoid arthritis? It's your immune system attacking its own tissue, including your joints and in severe cases can attack your internal organs. It causes painful swelling and over long periods of time it can cause bone erosion and joint deformity. So... I needed to find something that helps with inflammation and this is what I've found.

Herbs can be incredibly beneficial, especially when it comes to inflammation. Here is a list of herbs that are known to help!

• Ginger

• Turmeric

• Cardamom

• Rosemary

• Cinnamon

• Rosehip

Then there are citrus fruits to help repair damaged tissue, fruit like lemons, oranges and grapefruits. Of course we can forget the berries that contain antioxidant compounds, like proanthocyanins and ellagic acid which help fight inflammation and cell damage. Berries like blueberries, strawberries and blackberries.

That is how I landed here with my Anti-Inflammatory tea. My goal in creating this herbal tea was to help soothe the aches and pains in the joints. Not only has it helped but it's delicious!

If you're wondering what's in this tea, I'll tell you! Spearmint, peppermint, ginger, lemon, orange, blueberry, cinnamon, blackberry, apples, hibiscus and cardamom. Every ingredient in this tea is geared to help anyone who struggles with inflammation.
