MEDICINAL TEAS
 (SINGLE HERBAL INFUSIONS)

from AMAZON HERBS®

Medicinal teas are not actually teas; they are usually referred to as infusions.
Wide varieties are available – many have significant scientific backing to their claims, others do not. Teas often are better sources of bio-available compounds than the powdered herb (as in capsules and pills), but are relatively weak in action compared to tinctures.

 The best way to prepare a tea infusion
Heat the water to just below boiling.
Medicinal tea Put one heaped teaspoon of medicinal tea per cup in a porcelain- or glass pot. Pour the hot (not boiling!) water over the leaves.
Use mineral- or good quality drinking water.
Let steep for at least 2 - 5 minutes, depending on the species, before straining.
If a stronger infusion is desired, let stand for 10 - 30 minutes before straining and drinking
Occasionally stirring during steeping is recommended.
A strong infusion should be sipped in small quantities during the day since it may be too strong to drink a cup at once.
Use a tea strainer or mesh ball infuser for this purpose; if you use a paper filter, use the unbleached type.

 ABOUT OUR MEDICINAL HERBS
 All our herbs, seeds and rhizomes are wild harvested in the Amazon Rainforest of Suriname.

They are thoroughly inspected on quality before being used in the manufacturing process.
Herbal dietary supplements are generally considered as safe (GRAS) and have far fewer side effects than prescription- and OTC drugs.
One pound (454 grams) of our medicinal teas has 91 servings (doses).

 MANUFACTURING
