There are a couple reasons why an herbal remedy wouldn’t have the effects that you desire. The most common mistake is potency, or not using enough herbs. Another reason why herbs might not work for you is if you’re taking the wrong ones for you. Some herbs work better than others for different people, so you might need to switch the herbs you’re trying.

Quality, sustainability, and respect are huge values at Taste of the Divine. We wild-harvest certain herbs that grow here in Arizona where our home base is, and we also source a lot of other herbs from companies like Mountain Rose Herbs and Starwest Botanicals.

In regards to medicinal value, the rule of thumb is three days in the refrigerator for highest potency. After that, the medicinal value of the tea starts to drop drastically, and it may not be as effective or tasty. After a week, it’s best to use that tea to water some plants or use in your compost.
