About


The herbs in this tea blend are traditionally used to restore vitality, lift the spirits, tone and nourish the body, fill depleted reservoirs of strength (following birth) and gently calm and renew the system. Use organic herbs whenever possible. Add more (approx. 2 T) fennel seeds if milk flow needs stimulating.
