digestive and gastrointestinal conditions

a dietary supplement

anticancer properties compared to more processed teas.
Chamomile: The small golden buds of chamomile give many people relief from mild insomnia.
Chamomile is the principal ingredient in many 'sleepytime' tea blends. This is because chamomile
contains tryptophan, an amino acid known for its tranquilizing effects. When taken as an infusion, these
properties act as a relaxant in our bodies and help to promote sleep.
Ginger tea: Another great digestive aid, ginger can be used to curb nausea, vomiting or upset
