What is the gut microbiome?
The gut microbiome refers to the community of microorganisms residing in our digestive system. These microbes play a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and the synthesis of essential compounds for our body. They also influence our emotions, mood, and mental health. Our products aim to support a healthy and diverse gut microbiome.
What is the gut-brain axis?
The gut-brain axis is a bi-directional communication pathway between the gut and the brain. It involves the constant exchange of signals, neurotransmitters, and hormones, which influence both physical and mental health. Our products are tailored to support this connection and help maintain a balanced and thriving mind-gut axis.
How do your products support gut health?
Our products contain carefully selected ingredients that nourish and support a healthy gut environment. They promote the growth of beneficial gut microbes, improve digestion, support nutrient absorption, and contribute to overall gut health. By maintaining a healthy gut, our products help optimize the mind-gut connection.
Can your products improve mental health and mood?
While individual results may vary, our products are designed to support a healthy mind-gut connection, which can have a positive impact on mental health and mood. By nurturing the gut microbiome and promoting optimal digestion, our products may contribute to overall well-being, potentially leading to improved mental health and mood.
How long does it take to see results?
The timeframe for experiencing results may vary depending on the individual, their current health status, and other factors. While some people may notice improvements relatively quickly, others may require more time. Consistency in product usage, along with a healthy lifestyle and diet, can contribute to optimal results.
Are your products safe to use?
Yes, our products are formulated with safety as a top priority. We use scientifically backed ingredients and follow strict quality control measures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our products. However, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any specific health concerns or are taking medication.
Why should I choose organic?
Organic farming methods create a safer, more sustainable environment for everyone—farmers, consumers, and all of us who inhabit the planet. Extensive research indicates a connection between synthetic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers used on non-organic crops and the risk of cancer and other diseases. Additionally, there are numerous scientific resources suggesting that some organically grown foods may be more nutritious than non-organic ones.
Do you offer organic herbs?
Yes! We source our ingredients from certified organic farms to ensure purity and sustainability.
Why should I choose loose-leaf tea?
Many commercial tea bags are made with plastic-based materials, including polypropylene, and glue which is used to seal the bags. When steeped in hot water, these materials release microplastics and harmful chemicals into the tea. Studies have shown that a single tea bag can shed billions of microplastic particles—tiny contaminants that accumulate in the body over time and have unknown long-term health effects.
Choosing loose-leaf tea is a healthier, plastic-free, and eco-friendly alternative that ensures you get the purest tea experience without unwanted toxins. Loose-leaf tea is also a more sustainable option. It requires less packaging and can be brewed using reusable infusers or strainers, significantly reducing waste.
We like to keep our tea plastic and chemical free!
Do you offer loose-leaf tea blends?
Yes! We specialize in high-quality loose-leaf tea blends made from organic herbs, flowers, and spices to promote mental health, digestive health, and overall wellness.
How should I store my herbs and teas?
To maintain freshness, store your herbs and teas in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in an airtight container.
How long do your herbal products last?
When stored properly, dried herbs typically last 1-2 years. However, for optimal freshness and potency, we recommend using them within a year of purchase.
Are your products safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Some herbs may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We recommend consulting with a healthcare provider before consuming herbal products if you are pregnant, nursing, or are currently taking medication.
