Hey tea lovers! Our Tea of the Week was out of stock for awhile right after its release but it is back and we are so excited to feature Organic Pain Relief! This herbal blend is made with 7 ingredients to help alleviate pain and inflammation.
Ingredients
- Organic Wild Lettuce: Wild lettuce, also known as Lactuca virosa, is a natural herb that has been traditionally used for its pain-relieving properties. Its leaves contain compounds known as lactucarium, which have mild sedative and analgesic effects. Studies have found that wild lettuce can help alleviate conditions such as headaches, muscle pain, and joint discomfort.
-
Organic Mullein: Mullein, a fuzzy flowering plant, is known for its effects for pain and congestion relief. Its leaves contain compounds such as saponins and flavonoids that possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
- Organic Turmeric: Turmeric, a bright yellow spice commonly used in curry dishes, contains a chemical compound called curcumin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that curcumin may help alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, joint inflammation, and muscle soreness. However, it's important to note that the absorption of curcumin in the body can be low, so pairing turmeric with black pepper (just like in this tea blend) can enhance its effectiveness for pain relief.
- Organic Black Pepper: Black pepper appears in this blend because of its natural compound called piperine that helps to increase the absorption of turmeric in the body, enhancing its anti-inflammatory effects.
- Organic Ginger Root: Ginger contains several bioactive compounds, such as gingerol and shogaol, which possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Ginger has been traditionally used to alleviate various types of pain, including muscle soreness, menstrual cramps, and migraines.
- Organic Lemongrass: Lemongrass contains essential oils, such as citral, that possess anti-inflammatory properties. Lemongrass has been successfully used to relieve pain associated with conditions like headaches, muscle cramps, and arthritis.
- Organic Devil's Claw: Devil's claw is a plant native to Southern Africa that was named for its unique appearance. It has a long history of use in traditional African medicine for its pain-relieving properties. Devil's claw contains compounds called harpagosides, which have potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It is commonly used as a natural remedy for conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and muscle and joint discomfort.
