Revive 200g vital-i-TEA Organic Herbal Tea
What it does:
vital-i-TEA Revive Organic Herbal Tea is an uplifting and refreshing blend of four flavoursome and aromatic herbs. Great as an alternative 'pick me up' to coffee! This tea helps to motivate clarity and focus both physically and mentally.
Rich in anti oxidants, these compounds prevent cellular damage caused by 'free radicals' which are incomplete molecules looking to combine with other compounds and in the process cause cellular damage or destruction. Damage from free radicals is associated with air pollution, chemical additives in food or agriculture, medications, cigarette smoke, alcohol consumption and chemicals produced within the body when under stress. Importantly, our easiest sources of anti-oxidants - diets rich in fresh colourful fruit and vegetables are either under consumed or low in antioxidants due to the time it takes from farm to table and modern methods of agriculture. Stress management also positively influences the number of antioxidants. vital-i-TEA Revive helps in both of these areas to supply a high level of antioxidants, counteract the stress-induced production of free radicals and aid liver function where the detoxification pathways for these compounds are directed.
What is in it?
- Green Tea - a natural tea enriched with anti-oxidants and low caffeine. The mild and refreshing taste of green tea offers both alertness and protection from free radicals. Often used in Japan in ceremony
- Rosemary - a herb naturally aromatic with essential oil giving it the unmistakable fragrance and taste. The essential oil is commonly used for concentration and keeping a 'clear' head and memory (lest we forget?) and staying focused. Used in a tea will also activate the essential oils through the heat of the water. Very refreshing, great for the digestive system and also rich in antioxidants.
- Schisandra - the five flavoured berries of this vine from China were traditionally used to strengthen and consolidate the body's vital energy reserves. Modern use has added to this application in their use for liver damage, liver disease or toxicity and insufficiency supporting the detoxification pathways. They also aid in the adaptation to stress where it affects poor memory and concentration.
- Lemongrass - some of the oils found in lemongrass have shown significant anti tumour activity through their antioxidant action, while it also has been used in Thai medicine to ensure efficient digestion. In addition it adds a deliciously sunny lemon like taste to harmonize the tea.
