Fibers and other chemicals in alfalfa appears to bind with bad cholesterol, keeping it from staying in the blood or depositing in blood vessels. More of the harmful types of cholesterol leave the body, while high density lipoprotein (HDL) (the good cholesterol), appears not to be affected by alfalfa. When used for cholestoral reduction in adults, a recommended dose of alfalfa is 40 mg of alfalfa seed or 5,000 mg to 10,000 mg (5 grams to 10 grams) of dried alfalfa leaves and stems three times a day. Dried alfalfa may be taken as capsules, tablets, or tea made from dried alfalfa soaked in boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes, then strained before drinking. To enjoy Alfalfa Peppermint Leaf Tea, pour 6 oz. boiling water over a measured teaspoon of tea. Add more or less tea or water to taste. Steam 5 - 6 minutes, strain and serve immediately. http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Alfalfa-Mint-Leaf-Tea-10-0-23.html?src=rss Apple Nuggets, Rosehips, Ginger, Cardamon Enjoy the delicious taste of apple ginger tea, well known for its flavor and powerful antioxident properties.

Research in Russia has identified that many of the substances in Kombucha beverage have quite significant antibiotic properties. When Kombucha starts to ferment the sugars in its supply of nutrient tea, it is the wide range of acids and vitamins which give the drink its unusual flavor. That refreshing and veritable thirst-quenching quality of the beverage can be attributed to the production of carbonic acid. Noted for its antibiotic properties, it is the lactic acid that has a retarding effect on the growth of many bacteria and yeast. This popular drink has a beneficial action throughout the entire body and in particular there are noticeable changes at the cellular level which provide enormous benefits to the individual. The Kombucha mushroom is quite tough and gelatinous in structure and given the correct nutrients of sugar and tea, will spread out over the surface of the liquid and gradually thicken. If handled with care, there is no reason why the fungus should not serve the needs of a household for life and be passed on from generation to generation. In fact, it is mainly because the fungus is so vigorous in growth and sturdy of structure that it has successfully survived the extensive rationing during World War II which deprived many homes of its two vital substrates: tea and sugar. Kombucha Treats Many Diseases One of the main reasons why Kombucha seems to be efficacious against such a wide spectrum of diseases is that it does not have any specific action on particular illnesses, but rather its systemic detoxification of the whole body through glucuronic acid has an overall beneficial effect that invigorates the entire person. When all the toxins have been successfully eliminated, the body is much more able to heal itself. Q. what is the make up of the kombucha tea (amount of yeast, fungi, bacteria) thank you. A. Some of the Kombucha Tea active components are: Lactic Acid: Found in Kombucha tea in its most potent form L-lactic(+). Lactic acid is essential for the digestive system. Interestingly, it is not found in the tissues of people with cancer, and its lack has been established as indicating susceptibility to cancer. Acetic Acid: Its main action is to inhibit harmful bacteria. Acetic acid is used as a preservative because of this action. It is also what gives Kombucha tea that 'kick' to its smell and taste. Malic Acid: Present in Kombucha tea, it accelerates body's detoxification process. Oxalic Acid: Encourages the cellular production of energy and is a natural preservative. Gluconic Acid: Is effective against many yeast infections such as candidiasis and thrush. Butyric Acid: Is produced by the yeasts and when working with gluconic acid, helps combat yeast infections such as candida. Nucleic Acids: Work with the body aiding healthy cell regeneration. Amino Acids: A group of acids which are the building blocks of protein. They have many benefits including building cells and repairing tissue, they also form antibodies to combat invading bacteria & viruses. Enzymes: Are proteins that act as catalysts, speeding the rate at which biochemical reactions proceed, therefore they boost the actions of other health giving components within the Kombucha tea and your body. Kombucha also contains vitamin groups B and C, beneficial yeasts and bacteria. http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Kombucha-Mushroom-10-0-105.html?src=rss Lemon Peel, Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbina, Linden Leaf & Flower, Lemon Grass, Calendula Petals, Lime Oil http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Lemon-Lime-Tea-10-0-60.html?src=rss Sarsaparilla, Cinnamon bark, Ginger root, Yellow Dock root, Orange Peel, Licorice root, Clovebuds http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Mad-Hatter-Tea-10-0-31.html?src=rss Black Tea (Orange Pekoe), Orange Peel, Clovebuds http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Orange-Spice-Tea-10-0-32.html?src=rss Apple Nuggets, Rosehips, Orange Peel, Hibiscus Flowers, Raspberry Leaf, Stevia Leaf, Artificial Flavoring http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Raspberry-Hibcus-10-0-58.html?src=rss Peppermint, raspberry, elder flower-berry, hyssop, yarrow, ginger, ephedra http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Sniffle-Tea-10-0-61.html?src=rss Rooibos tea (roy-boss tea) is a distinctive red colour and its taste is also unique with a sweet and slightly nutty flavour. Its delicious taste and numerous healthful qualities has helped Rooibos tea become a popular tea all over the world. The Rooibos plant is a small shrubby bush that only grows in South Africa. The Rooibos seeds are precious, because the plants produce few of them. The seeds also pop out of the fruits as soon as they are ripe, making harvest difficult. Rooibos tea contains no color, artificial additives and preservatives. Rooibos tea, unlike black or green tea, contains no caffeine. South African and Japanese studies show that Rooibos tea aids in insomnia, irritability, headaches, and hypertension. Rooibos tea is rich in anti-oxidants which can help slow the aging process and boost the immune system. Rooibos tea is an excellent tea for people prone to kidney stones as it does not contain any oxalic acid.  Rooibos tea is for the discerning individual with an interest in pursuing a healthy lifestyle who is in tune with body, spirit and mind. * Many studies suggest that drinking tea may reduce the risk of parkinson's disease. Teas contain flavenoid compounds that are absent in cofee. http://www.shilajeet.com/store/South-African-Rooibos-Tea-10-0-10000.html?src=rss Apple Nuggets, Rosehips, Hibiscus Flowers, Strawberry Leaf, Natural Flavoring http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Strawberry-Tea-10-0-62.html?src=rss Chamomile Flower, Linden Leaf & Flower, Spearmint Leaf, Passion Flower Herb http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Sweet-Dreams-Tea-10-0-63.html?src=rss Rosehips, Peppermint Leaf, Alfalfa Leaf, Orange Peel, Hibiscus Flower, Lemon Verbena Leaf http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Verbena-Mint-Tea-10-0-64.html?src=rss Eleuthero Root, Peppermint Leaf, Licorice Root, Orange Peel, Echinacea Purpurea Root, Echinacea Angustifolia Herb http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Winter-Warmer-Tea-10-0-65.html?src=rss Yerba Mate Tea http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Yerba-Mate-Tea-Cut-10-0-66.html?src=rss Yerba santa is commonly used as a treatment for respiratory conditions. Because of its expectorant properties, it may be used to relieve coughs from respiratory conditions such as chronic bronchitis and colds. (An expectorant helps to loosen and remove mucus from breathing passages. ) Yerba Santa tea may be made from yerba santa by chopping or crushing about one teaspoonful of fresh or dried leaves, pouring about 8 ounces of boiling water over them, and letting them soak for 30 minutes. The solid particles are strained out before drinking the tea, which may be taken up to three times a day. Due to its pleasant taste, yerba santa tea may be added to other herbal teas to improve the flavor. "The natives of the American Southwest have used yerba santa for generations, introducing it to the Spanish who came to the area in the late 18th century. For medicine, yerba santa leaves are gathered after the plant blooms. Leaves are used either fresh or dried and either by mouth or applied to the skin. Yerba santa's pleasant taste is often used to disguise bitter-tasting medicines." http://www.shilajeet.com/store/Yerba-Santa-Tea-10-0-67.html?src=rss
