I learn so much from my patients as they are truly the best teachers and recently I learnt that Harmony Tea Co’s Adrenal Balance Blend is really effective in helping to reduce seasonal allergies in those that are suffering from increased stress.

Adrenal Balance Blend helps improve resilience and the ability to cope with stress, thus improving the body’s natural ability to reduce the histamine response and minimizes allergies.

Traditionally, lemon balm herbal preparations have been used to treat anxiety and insomnia. Its mild sedative effect is well-known without the side effects of common sedating medications. Add a few leaves to a cup of hot water, steep for 5-7 min and enjoy...
We have all experienced a headache now and again, but for some, they are a common occurrence rather than an occasional annoyance. Headaches can be triggered by allergies (that increases sinus pressure), stress (that causes muscle tension), fatigue (that reduces our immune function), eyestrain (that stresses our brains), poor posture (that can strain neck and shoulder muscles), alcohol or drugs (that can dehydrate us and cause toxic reactions), low blood sugar (that starves our brains of energy), hormones (specifically estrogen and progesterone imbalances), constipation (that leads to toxin build up) and nutritional deficiencies (such as magnesium). They are not generally triggered by a lack of Tylenol or Advil :) Headaches, whether it’s a cluster, tension, sinus or migraine headache, are...
