Health and well-being stem from a balanced life, proper nutrition, an active lifestyle and regular physical exercise. However, the obligations and stresses of day-to-day living can make it difficult to maintain good habits.

We have used the knowledge handed down by herbalists both past and present as our starting point to develop a collection of herbal teas to accompany you on the road to regaining and sustaining well-being!

Smilax:  

Any attempt to regain a sense of well-being should begin with boost to the organism's basic elimination functions in order to promote the elimination of toxins.  Smilax contains a blend of plants which stimulate and protect the intestinal tract.  Its cleansing properties help to eliminate toxins and improve the health of the colon.

This herbal tea contains natural laxative properties and should be consumed once or twice a day over a maximum period of 5-10 days. It can be taken morning or evening, at your convenience.  It will help to activate an inherent body mechanism which should then maintain itself naturally.

***Caution : regular use of this tea could prove habit forming. It is therefore advisable to wait a minimum four week period before beginning another schedule of remedies.  For severe or chronic constipation problems, consult a dietitian or your doctor.  In the case of diarrhea or watery stools, cease all use of this tea.

Once the cleansing of the organism is under way, usually after 3 to 5 days of using Smilax herbal tea, it is time to stimulate the liver as it is the organ which is directly related to the general elimination of body toxins. 

System :

System herbal tea is composed of plants which stimulate, protect and promote the purification of the liver, while favoring its regeneration. A healthy liver helps protect the balance of the organism.

System herbal tea can be taken 30 minutes before or after meals.  This tea is absolutely non habit forming and can be taken regularly to aid digestion or simply for the enjoyment.

Satin : 

Satin herbal tea is a bouquet of herbs especially formulated to help promote healthy skin.  By acting as a stimulant to bolster the immune system, enhance blood circulation, detoxification and healing, Satin herbal tea will aid in eliminating the effects of aging on your skin.

Satin herbal tea is non habit forming and can therefore be enjoyed any time of the day.  It can be enjoyed alone or alternately with System herbal tea.

Splendor:

Splendor herbal tea is a pleasant mix of green tea and plants.  It is perfect for daily use to help maintain a healthy organism.  It contains a number of antioxidants which help to rid the blood of various toxins present in the environment and in the foods we eat.

For many years these types of teas have been used successfully to combat problems associated with aging, and to enhance concentration and mental activity.

This tea should preferably be enjoyed during the day since when taken in the evening its tonic effects could make sleep more difficult.

Everyone would like to have a slim and healthy body.  With this in mind, we pursue diets of reduced calorie intake combined with regular physical exercise, but energy levels and stamina often drop off rapidly in these situations.

Slimsens

herbal tea is the ideal infusion for this situation.  We have created a blend of natural tonics which help to draw upon the body's energy reserves.  Since they cause increased body metabolism, they help to dissolve fat.

Slimsens is not a miracle weight-loss tea, but rather a supplement to a complete program.  It can be taken at any time or one hour before exercising.

***Caution: persons suffering from high blood pressure. Slimsens contains stimulants similar to caffeine which could be counter indicated by your physician.

Sandman :  

A stress-busting tea with dual action. 

1st On days of work overload, it helps to alleviate tension and allows you to keep your mental processes clear. 

2nd During periods of relaxation, its calming effects help to promote restful sleep. 

Drinking it once or twice a day promotes relaxation and is absolutely non habit forming.

***Caution: Because of its calming effects, avoid taking it before getting behind the wheel.
