It is mint and people like me use it as an alternative to get health benefits in common illness such as abdominal and gastric problem. Also it is helpful to get health benefits in cold and flu, but it is advisable that we should consult a doctor before consuming any herb or herbal things.
Hi, Essiac Tea, thanks so much for trying. It is not mint, though, for sure. It doesn't grow like mint and most important, it has no aroma. Warmly, Lyn
"I AM a Soul who has a Spirit. That Spirit is Pure Potential - Energy - which enlivens and animates my body. When my body dies, that Spirit takes all of my life experiences to my Soul. My Soul has had an unknown number of Spirits living physical lives 'down through the ages'. There are many ways to access these experiences for the good of this life." Lyn Ayre, 2009
The purpose of this BLOG is to share information, with like-minded individuals who are interested in Herbalism. None of the information on this blog is intended to be used in place of sound allopathic medical advice. Everybody who visits and reads my posts must take personal responsibility for their own research, and wellbeing. I am simply sharing what has worked for me. Thank you. Be well; be at peace. Warmly, Lyn E. Ayre, Ph.D.
Herbalism is the world of possibilities: to overcome chronic health situations, health maintenance, safe bath & beauty products, clean home environment, and a nutritious way to eat.
I have been using herbs for over 30 years and I have peace of mind, as I know what is in the product and how it will affect my health.
By learning more about herbs, going deeper into the botany, chemistry, wild crafting, and increasing my knowledge and experience of other certified organic herbs that I have not grown myself, I hope to be able to help myself & others even more.
The wild beauty of the southwest corner of BC has consistently captured my heart. I love the plant life around me. I talk and sing to all plants. When I collect herbs, I chant Om to the Mother plant. Gaia is my earth Mother who takes care of every one of my physical needs including my medicine. Source looks after my spiritual and energetic needs.
The direction I’m heading in will allow me to write, teach, and help others via consultations.
