INGREDIENTS:
Greek Mountain Tea (sideritis)
Mountain tea was used by the ancient Greeks as a healing herbal, medicinal drink. Hippocrates, the Greek philosopher known as the father of modern medicine, hailed its benefits for the immune and respiratory systems. In Greece today, mountain tea is consumed most often in the winter, to combat the common cold and flu. Mountain tea contains high levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and essential oils, including flavonoids.
White Willow Bark (salix alba)
White willow bark contains salicin, which is transformed into salicylic acid when entering your body. This acid helps to relieve inflammation & pain and works like aspirin. It also contains compounds called phenolic glycoside esters. When you take the bark internally, the microorganisms of your intestine will convert these compounds into saligenin. Then, saligenin will be oxidized in the liver & blood, producing salicylic acid. Salicylic acid may relieve pain by hindering the prostaglandins synthesis in the sensory nerves.
Jasmine Flower (jasminum officinale)
Jasmine calms, helps unwind and aids in promoting relaxation. Benefits of jasmine include analgesic, carminative, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Jasmine infused tea may be effective in treating and preventing oral infections.
