225: Herb Health Tea formula
Ounces
1. Red Clover Blossoms 3
An effective blood purifier.
2. Anise Seed 2
An aromatic tonic
3. Damiana Leaves 2
Invigorates the body and nerves.
4. Strawberry Leaves 8
An effective alkalinizer.
5. Woodruff Herb 1
Aids digestion, quiets the nerves.
Mix well, using Herbs especially cut for Tea.
Directions: Prepare like ordinary tea, about a teaspoonful to a cup of
boiling water, do not boil, and allow to steep for a few minutes. Honey, cream,
miik, etc. may be added to suit taste. When iced, it makes an invigorating and
refreshing summer drink.
Nervous people, and all those who suffer from a rundown condition or
stomach disorders, should, as already mentioned, not use coffee or tea. These
tend to irritate the nerves and retard the action of the digestive organs.
They should use instead a substitute that will not act as an irritant, such as
Peppermint, Chamomile Flowers, Linden Flowers, Yerba Mate, South America's
National beverage, etc. Still better, a mixture of herbs, such as Formula No.
225, will be found to be a palatable and excellent after-meal beverage.
