Instructions:

Steep 1-2 tsp. in a strainer with a cup of hot water. Steep for 3-7 mins. The longer you steep, the stronger the tea. I like to make this cup strong so I steep for longer and use a little more than 2 tsp.

Ingredient Spotlight - passionflower

Passionflower is a climbing vine that is native to the southeastern United States and Central and South America. There are about 500 known species of passionflower, also known as Passiflora. P. incarnata (maypop) leaves and roots have a long history of use as a traditional medicine by Native Americans in North America to treat a variety of conditions including boils, wounds, earaches, liver problems, and as a sedative. Spanish explorers learned about passionflower from native Peruvians and named these plants for their resemblance to a crucifix. The plant was then brought to Europe, where it became widely cultivated and was introduced to European folk medicine to treat restlessness, agitation, and anxiety. Today, passionflower is promoted as a dietary supplement for anxiety and sleep problems, as well as for pain, heart rhythm problems, menopausal symptoms, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is applied to the skin for burns and to treat hemorrhoids.

Health Cautions:

Educate yourself and consult a health professional before taking any herbal remedies, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medications. This blend contains Valerian root which can have adverse effects and cause complications especially when drinking alcohol or using another sedative medication.
