I had been wanting to to get more chamomile tea for a while after our local coop stop carrying it, especially after I got it before playing an open mic and I noticed it made me calmer and my mouth was not al all dry after drinking the chamomile which is greats for a singer songwriter who is nervous like me . After reading several studies highlighting its benefits. Chamomile has been traditionally used for relaxation, improved sleep quality, digestive support, and anti-inflammatory effects due to its high levels of apigenin, a natural antioxidant. Beyond its health properties, I also just love the aesthetic appeal—watching the delicate yellow flowers bloom as they steep is a simple pleasure.After extensive research, I opted for Egyptian chamomile over German chamomile. While both varieties come from the Matricaria species, Egyptian chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is often preferred for its larger, more intact flower heads, which contribute to a smoother and more potent infusion. Another reason I chose this variety is that some people report allergic reactions to German chamomile (Matricaria recutita), though this varies from person to person.One major concern when purchasing loose chamomile flowers is quality control, and I was particularly careful about this. Many chamomile sellers on Amazon have alarming reports of insect contamination, which is unfortunately common in poorly processed batches. This specific brand stood out because it had no such complaints, and after thoroughly inspecting my purchase, I found it to be clean and well-preserved.Another issue with loose chamomile is dog chamomile (Anthemis cotula), a similar-looking but unrelated plant that sometimes gets mixed in with lower-quality batches. Dog chamomile has a harsh, unpleasant bitterness that can ruin the delicate floral sweetness of true chamomile tea. Thankfully, my batch was free from this contamination, and I was able to enjoy the soft, honey-like aroma and flavor of pure chamomile.One of the best things about this tea is how well it holds up to multiple infusions. I can steep the same flowers two to three times and still get a pleasantly mild, golden brew. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase—it’s a high-quality, fresh, and pure chamomile tea that has made a lovely addition to tea routine.

As someone deeply invested in holistic health practices, I recently incorporated J Mac Botanicals Organic Dried Elderberry into my wellness routine, and I'm excited to share my experience.First and foremost, the fact that these elderberries are USDA certified organic and packaged in the USA reassured me of their quality and purity. This attention to detail is crucial when it comes to natural remedies, and J Mac Botanicals delivers on this front.Primarily, I've used these elderberries to make syrup for immune support, and the results have been impressive. The elderberries are plump, bursting with flavor, and perfect for brewing a potent and delicious syrup. But what truly excited me was their versatility—I also experimented with making homemade gummies, and the outcome was delightful.Creating elderberry gummies was a breeze. I simply combined the dried elderberries with a few other ingredients, and voila! I had tasty, immune-boosting treats that I could enjoy daily. The process was simple and rewarding, and it allowed me to customize the dosage to suit my needs.Beyond their delicious taste, elderberries are renowned for their immune-boosting properties and high antioxidant content. Incorporating them into my daily routine has helped me stay healthy and resilient, especially during cold and flu season.The 16 oz. pack is generous and long-lasting, making it a cost-effective option for anyone looking to incorporate elderberries into their wellness regimen. Plus, the resealable packaging ensures the elderberries remain fresh and potent over time.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Organic Dried Elderberry to anyone seeking natural ways to support their health.

This tea arrived fresh and is of excellent quality! Has a wonderful taste, too, much like a mild black tea. I like to mix it with loose leaf chamomile of the same brand. Will be buying again!

Firstly it's fresh, smells fresh, it's a huge bag, it tastes great but more importantly it takes my husband's anxiety away and helps him sleep. I also read a review here that I'm so greatful for which explains that while bananas have serotonin in them their are high levels of serotonin locked in banana skin's. After researching it I realized that the medicinal qualities in banana skins turn into high amounts of serotonin through the digestion process so I've added that to his tea. I just cut the ends off one banana and chop up the peel before adding it to the tea and 16 Oz of boiling water for two doses steeping it for atleast 20 minutes as recommended. I've also made a lemon balm tincture with 80proof vodka which is a way of getting a concentrated version. Just two droppers full each dropper being about 18 drops. It definitely does the trick especially if you don't like tea or need quick results. I'm so greatful for this tea and with the added serotonin because if you've weaned off antidepressants then one is more then likely serotonin deficient. All antidepressants are uptake inhibitors and do cause brain damage with longterm use causing brain fog or cognitive function issues. I am not a doctor but I do know that modern medicine doctors love to push antidepressants for mild depression symptoms when they are to do no harm as their first rule. Well all types of mood disorder and antidepressant medications are uptake inhibitors and in my opinion should only be given in the worst case scenario. They kill the spirit and if used longterm cause cognitive function ailments and disrupt the brains natural process in balancing important hormones ect... do your research but look further then the first thing that pop's up on Google. Happy healing, l♡l
