Morning Detox Tea (Tisane)

One day the Herb Shoppe's owner Laura was perusing the internet, and came across a great "Morning Detox Tea" or tisane by a leading tea authority Kathy YL Chan.

The tea is described as being a "bright concoction with notes of spice and heat," and Laura says the ingredient all have many benefits. The ginger soothes digestion, tumeric supports the liver, cayenne warms the body and boosts metabolism, and cinnamon is used as an anti-inflammatory and blood sugar stabilizer.

Here's what you'll need and how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 inch piece of ginger
• 1 tsp tumeric
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/2 tsp cayenne (can use liquid cayenne as well)
• spoonful of local honey
• squeeze of lemon

How to Brew:

1. Peel ginger and slice thinly, then smash the ginger.
2. Add ginger to a sauce pan with 6 cups of water. Bring water and ginger to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Add cinnamon sticks, tumeric, cayenne. Simmer for 10 minutes more.
4. Strain tea into a mug
5. Stir in honey and a squeeze of lemon

This recipe yields about 6 servings depending on your mug, so you can enjoy in a morning or throughout the day!

The ZYTO Compass

The Compass software and hand cradle

The Herb Shoppe in Lagrange, GA offers many ways to help you and your family stay healthy, but one of the most interesting and helpful tools we use is the ZYTO Compass System.

The ZYTO Compass System is a computerized system that measure's a body's response to a specific library of nutritional products. This special technology, called biocommunication, asks your body what nutritional product it needs most. Once the machine has learned which products are right for your body it then creates a personalized regiment just for you and your body's needs.

The process is non-invasive. In fact, all you have to do is put your hand on the hand cradle, and wait as the Compass sends stimuli to your body and reads the results. Your body won't react physically to the stimuli nor will it produce any sensations. Biocommunication is completely pain and sensation free!

Herb Shoppe owner Laura volunteered her ZYTO Compass results to share.

Once the Compass has finished reading your results it will create a personalized regiment based on the stimuli your body responded to. These responses to stimuli are called biomarkers. This reading will describe how many biomarkers were out of range in your body, and how to put your body back into balance.

Herb Shoppe owner Laura volunteered her own ZYTO Compass results to share, and describe how the reading will look.

Because of the recent outbreak of respiratory disease in Georgia, Laura wanted to know specifically if she needed anything to help support her respiratory system, and The ZYTO Compass said yes she did!

Here, Laura had 29 biomarkers out of range in her respiratory system. Out of her 29 biomarkers, 23 were brought into balance with the product Marshmallow & Fenugreek, and 6 were brought into balance with Fenugreek & Thyme. Both products are excellent for thinning mucus and supporting detoxification of the sinus. So, to help maintain her respiratory health, Laura needs to support her good mucus!

If you would like to know what your body needs, come to the Herb Shoppe for a complimentary ZYTO Compass reading. The Herb Shoppe Lagrange offers a Compass reading for free to all people who are interested in which holistic remedies are right for their bodies.

If you have questions about The ZYTO Compass, please feel free to email Laura or contact us through Facebook.
