Plants that support and promote heart health usually have properties that help
reduce inflammation, improve circulation, regulate blood pressure, and enhance
overall cardiovascular function.

Traditionally, plants were our first teachers—they were here long before us. Plants
carry the memories and prayers of our ancestors, and the medicine they offer are
gifts from the Creator. These gifts help awaken our voice and spirit to who we are
meant to be.

Each one of us is WORTHY OF A GOOD LIFE, and the plants are a gentle reminder of
that and how we are to tend to ourselves. This care ripples out to our families, tribes,
communities, and with love and prayers, to the rest of the world.

Here's a brief overview of the benefits of hawthorn leaf & berries, rose
petals, cinnamon, and red clover tea:

1. Hawthorn Leaf & Berries: Known for supporting heart health,
hawthorn can help improve circulation, regulate blood pressure,
and strengthen the heart. It's also rich in antioxidants, which
support overall cardiovascular function.

2. Rose Petals: Rose petals are soothing and calming, helping to
reduce stress and promote relaxation. They also have antiinflammatory
and antioxidant properties, which support skin health
and overall immune function.

3. Cinnamon: Cinnamon is known for its ability to regulate blood sugar
levels, making it beneficial for those managing blood sugar. It also
has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties,
supporting overall wellness and immune health.

4. Red Clover: Red clover is often used for its detoxifying properties,
helping to cleanse the blood and promote skin health. It has
phytoestrogens that support hormonal balance and can be useful
for women's health, particularly during menopause.

Together, this tea blend offers heart health support, stress relief, blood
sugar regulation, hormonal balance, and detoxification, making it a
well-rounded option for overall wellness.

antioxidant-rich hibiscus and huckleberries, can support kidney and
liver function, helping to cleanse the body of excess fluids and
toxins.

• Immune Boosting: The high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants
from hibiscus and huckleberries can help strengthen the immune
system, protecting you from illness.

• Anti-inflammatory. Effects: The combination of anti-inflammatory
compounds from all four ingredients may help reduce systemic
inflammation and promote joint, skin, and digestive health.
