Bay Leaf Tea

PIMENTA RACEMOSA - An aromatic tea packed full of benefits. We use West Indian bay leaves for our bay leaf tea. These leaves are grown on the “spice tree” or “bay rum tree” in St. Lucia where they are then harvested and sun dried. Although bay leaves are better known as a spice for cooking, the leaves hold many health benefits when consumed as a tea. Bay leaf tea is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. This tea promotes healthy digestion, fights constipation, eases acid reflux, and regulates your bowel movements. It is also known to help kidney health, treating kidney stones and infections. Bay leaves are also healthy for your heart. It improves cardiovascular health and is used as a preventative measure for heart attack and stroke. Drinking bay leaf tea can help with diabetes by helping the body process insulin to lower blood sugar levels, as well as triglyceride and cholesterol. This tea has also been known to relieve pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties, making it great for joint pain and swelling. Bay leaf also helps the skin by treating rashes, dandruff, and smoothing the appearance of wrinkles. West Indian bay leaf has an aromatic taste that is similar to allspice, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Each bottle is 32 fluid ounces. Refrigerate after purchase and drink within a week. Enjoy it hot or chilled. What I like to do is add a cinnamon stick and manuka honey for anti-inflammatory benefits and a delicious taste.
