Pain Relief ~ Herbal Tea

When I was testing this blend I had a migraine, which I often get and can last up to a week leaving me stuck in bed for days, I made myself a cup of Pain Relief Tea and within 20 minutes my Migraine started to ease off. I drank another cup of tea and drifted off to sleep for an hour, when I woke up my Migraine had become a slight headache and the nausea had completely gone. Within 2 hours my headache had completely gone and I was able to catch up on more sleep and was happily back at work the next day. - Lyllith

Flavour & Preparation

Our Pain Relief Herbal Tea does have a rather intense aroma and flavour, so we do recommend adding a little honey or other natural sweetener to suit your personal tastes. 

Preparation:

1. Add 1-2 teaspoons per cup to a strainer or tea bag.
2. Pour just boiled water over your herbal tea
3. Infuse for 3-5 minutes
4. Add a teaspoon of honey to taste

Steeping for longer will strengthen the flavour and intensity of this herbal tea blend.
