TEA
Qigong Tea F
or Autumn we have put together a blend of teas inspired by the ancient philosophy of Qigong. Qigong aims to increase health through promoting the movement of Qi (energy) in the body. The four seasons provide a way to regulate the Qi. Each season is governed by an element and each element is linked to organs in the body. Traditionally autumn is the time of metal. Metal governs the organs of the large intestine and lungs. Our warming blend of teas to enhance the function of the lungs and large intestine includes Echinacea to help boost the immune system, Eyebright and Mullein for healthy lung function, Thyme, a bitter tonic to aid digestion and finally soothing Liquorice and Marshmallow to help maintain the healthy function of both the lungs and large intestine.
