by Tera Warner

I look back at my life and I truly cannot count the number of times I felt more like my food controlled me than I controlled my food choices.

Overeating, eating late at night, pigging out one night, then “fasting” on water the next morning. Sheeeesh!

Some days I wondered if I would ever break free from the constant obsession over food and the struggle to just find balance and eat the things I *know* are good for me in the amounts that I know are good for me. Until now. 🙂

My Secret Herbal Tea Formula Revealed!

I’ve recently liberated myself completely from overeating, eating late at night, and the feeling of being trapped in a sort of compulsive relationship with food. (Yes, even with raw food!)

The solution was so simple you won’t believe me when I tell you what I did.

It wasn’t supplements.
It wasn’t more books.
It wasn’t more greens, or less gluten or more essential fatty acids.

It was tea.

I sat down and made myself a special tea blend based on the recommendations of my friend and master herbalist, Jonathan Raymond.

Here are the ingredients I put in my tea, in order of quantity. I can’t be exact because it was a pinch of this, and a pinch of that, but this it pretty close. Here are the ingredients I included:

  • Nettles
  • Oat straw (Jonathan talks so much about this herb, and it definitely does what he says it does. I feel amazingly calm, focused and peaceful the more of this I use!)
  • Calendula flowers
  • Rose petals
  • Hibiscus flowers
  • Melissa (lemon balm)
  • Elderberry flowers
  • Licorice root

I’m pretty sure that’s it.

Herbal Medicine for Women’s Health

You can learn how to make yourself some big, beautiful batches of this tea by signing up to take the Introduction to Herbal Medicine for Women’s Health program.

Besides the fact that herbal tea tastes divine and truly nourishes my body (these plants are loaded with nutritional value), it also calms my nerves, nourishes my organs and has brought me a whole slew of other health benefits I wasn’t ever expecting I could get from a simple cup of tea.

You can access a free introduction to herbal health for women  that I did with Jonathan and learn how to make your own tea like I did here.

You’ll see we have individual study sessions available on which herbs to use and how to use them for:

I’m SO excited about how something as simple as herbal tea has helped me manage my oh-so-complicated relationship with food, that I want to make sure you get this information, too.

Love and steeping nettles,
