Grief | Teas

Grief tends to be held in the lungs, in the chest. Mullein, one of the chief herbs in this formula, grows in dry, cracked soil. Similarly, it is used to crack and nourish the grief that can be trapped inside our chest, making us feel numb and dry. The marshmallow is added to soothe. Thyme is there to connect us to what has come before us, contributing to this grief, and what will come after us, resulting from what we do with our grief now. Spearmint gives us the lift that promises a tomorrow and a new way if we let it.

Drink this to aid in acknowledgment of the grief that needs tending. Remember that though it hurts,  healing happens when we tend.

Size: 2oz

“Tea” actually refers to the plant Camellia sinensis, a species of evergreen shrub or small tree in the flowering plant family Theaceae. Its leaves, leaf buds, and stems are used to produce tea. The word tea is erroneously used synonymously for all steeped herbal beverages. What we have here at Infusion House are herb blends designed for drinking but none of it is actually tea. Rather, the herbal blends are made into beverages by either infusion or decoction method.

In general, infusions are used for more delicate parts of the plant such as leaves and flowers. Decoctions are used for roots, bark, seeds and more dense material.

Most of the blends at Infusion House can be made via the infusion method. The longer the steep the more potent the effects of the herbs will be. Herbal infusions
