Herbal Tea Tonic -

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I'm normally a " lurker " and just enjoy all this wonderful

information, but I've decided to come out of the closet and ask for direction.

 

The other day I was at a " natural " foods store. They have three large

greenhouses and advertise that all vegetables are grown on the premises. The

store was also filled with grains, dried beans, herbs, teas, etc. I came

across

a large bag of dried herbs entitled " Herb Tea Blend " Yummy !!!!!! Loving

herb teas and wanting to purchase this item, I picked the bag up along with a

sheet of paper explaining what herbs were in it and how to use it.

Ingredients consisted of: Comfrey, Peppermint, Mugwort, Chapparal, Red Clover,

Gotu

Kola, and Motherwort. Said to drink a quart of this tea blend a day for

14 days then reduce intake. Recommended for cancer, diabetes, arthritis and

whenever a blood purifier and immune builder is desired. Hmmm..... I'm not

an herbalist, but I can read. I thought comfrey was for external use only -

I thought mugwort was toxic - I checked on chapparal and the write up stated

that it could possibly cause liver or kidney problems. Opinions

please..... Evie M.

Commission E (Germany ) recommend that Comfrey is only used

external.

 

Mugwort has been used in urope for thousands of years however it is

only rarely used today as a bitter aromatic to stimulate for loss of

appetite. In therapeutic doses ( 1 teaspoon ) it is not likely to

cause side effects unless you are pregnant. However since the

calimed indications has not been adequately substantiated, the

German Commission E did not support its therapeutic use.
