It has been super exciting to start my Degree in Naturopathy and discovering all about herbs and what can truly heal and help the body. I am learning so much!
So, I created a Super New Tea for us to drink, which contains my two favourite ingredients – for right now :)
1. Nettle
More recently, I discovered the incredible healing benefits of Nettle Tea. I had known that Nettle was a great option to incorporate from developing my Food Healing Journey course but it was only when I read about it in my herbal studies book that I learnt just how amazing it can be!
The areas that were particularly interesting with relation to Endometriosis:
- It decreases inflammation in the body and assists in elimination function
- Reduces irritation in the urinary tract and is a natural diuretic- this is great if you suffer from Interstitial Cystitis.
- Rich in Silicon which is great for the skin – if you are prone to break-out’s with Endo.
- Using the root of the plant has been shown to inhibit aromatase conversion – in other words, the ability to absorb Progesterone Creams etc would be improved.
- It aids in the stimulation of T-Cell Lymphocytes – our immune system! This is a great thing for Endo!
2. Pau D’Arco
I have mentioned this herb before but it is one of my favourites. This is actually taken from the bark of a tree and is primarily used to reduce fungal infections in the body. However, because Endometriosis is often linked to Candida Overgrowth and because this bark has a lovely sweet taste, it is a great combination in making a tea.
This tea will also help Endo:
- It contains Quercetin. Quercetin has incredible healing properties for Endometriosis, including anti-inflammatory properties, immune boosting and chemo-protective qualities. There was a study done which indicated that Quercetin can actually reduce lesion in mice! Check it out.
- It protects us from any cancers and inhibits tumour growths. This is great for anyone with a family history of Breast Cancers or other Oestrogen Dominant conditions.
- Reduces inflammatory responses in the body.
- Reduces any fungal and bacterial infections or overgrowths significantly.
- Boost Red Blood Cell production – great if you have lost a lot of blood during your monthly.
How to make it?
Just combine equal amounts of each (roughly 1 tablespoon of each) and let it seep for 10minutes. Drink warm or cold.
Got any more ideas for Fabulous Tea ingredients to add? Would love to hear from you!
