ACNE, PIMPLES, ECZEMA, DERMATITIS – Skin, Detox

Some allergies may be caused by an overloading of the liver so it makes sense to drink a tea with liver detoxifying herbs. The Immune tea may help the body’s immune system to resist allergens. The Eyes tea may be helpful for allergic sinus issues and the tea may also be used as a eye wash in the case of irritated eyes from allergy.
ANAEMIA – Blood Balance
The beautiful red colour of this tea, combining hibiscus and rosehips can be a very good tonic for the blood. Avoid black tea & coffee as they may impair the absorption of iron.

The herpes virus usually takes hold in the form of cold sores when the immune system is depressed so boosting the immune system may help to prevent and/or lessen the duration of cold sores.
