If you’ve ever made a cup of tea with a teabag then you’ve made an herbal infusion ;)
TEABAGS
Teabags are certainly convenient, but these days contain unexpected harmful chemicals and the omnipresent micro and nanoplastics. Their longterm health and environmental effects are starting to be researched and early alarm bells are ringing. Furthermore, the forever chemical PFAS which is an endocrine disruptor has also been isolated in tea bags.
The simplest approach is to switch from pre-packaged tea bags to loose-leaf tea. Loose tea eliminates the need for the treated paper or synthetic mesh materials that may contain PFAS.
Buying herbs in bulk, or growing and gathering your own, is also substantially cheaper and 'cleaner' than purchasing teabags and commercial loose tea leaves.
Discover the joy and creativity of working with plant ingredients and herbs to create your very own tea blends to amplify your daily tea drinking ritual. It will be an uplifting and educational afternoon with a warm and like minded community focussed on self care and natural living.

VAGUS NERVE CONNECTION
Did you know that the act of drinking tea stimulates our Vagus nerve?
Warmth activates the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to the heart, lungs, and digestive tract. It is an important player in our nervous system, which guides us out of 'fright, fight, flight' stress and back to a 'rest and digest' state of equilibrium. This is known as the parasympathetic response. It slows the heart rate, deepens the breath, and signals you're safe.

So when you take that first warm sip of tea, you're engaging a system that links calm with resilience. If you are inspired to create and sip more herbal teas - sign up for the workshop by clicking the button below.
