THE MEDICINE WOMAN Lift herbal tea blend has been created as an aid to support emotional and mental wellbeing and is a herbal tea go-to for anxiety and depression which has become a modern day phenonomenon. In many instances, to chronically lose our energy to the past is to manifest depression or low energy, to chronically lose our energy to the future is to manifest anxiety or fear-filled energy. Processed foods, their additives and caffeine can also contribute to these states. The picture can be multi-layered and as such it can be important to approach things holistically.
The further removed we become from nature, the more we lose our connection to our intrinsic nature of peace, inspiration and wisdom. Spending time in the outdoors, eating foods that are grown in the earth, acting on our innate instincts as we navigate our choices in life all assist recovery from depression or anxiety and can stop us from going there in the first place. Slowing down, getting back to basics, saying ‘no’, walking to the beat of your own drum, being creative, are all part of finding our self again if we have lost our sense of self. Although anxiety and depression tend to be considered a normal consequence of life, it is not in our natural design and I am committed to helping people move beyond it.
Nature’s medicinal plants are an ally to assist mental and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes they work alongside pharmaceuticals, and other times are appropriate as the sole source of medicinal support. This tea may be supportive for those transitioning off anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication in consultation with your professional health practitioner.
