Deep Relief
A blend for physical & emotional pain and tension.
This amazing blend relaxes our nervous system and relieves physical pain, particularly when there is an emotional component to the pain & tension! These plants relax the mind, and help to release emotional tension from the body.
It is a highly fragrant blend due to the lavender flowers and the blades of lemongrass!

Brewing Recommendations
My basic brewing instructions:
- 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea for 1 cup / 1 tablespoon for a quart
- Let steep for 5 - 10 minutes
This applies to all my blends. These are to be taken as a starting point / or a suggestion. Tea drinkers will find their happy place - their own brewing style. With each Herbal Blend you may find your basic brewing technique & timing may change.
You will need a way to diffuse the loose plants - either a TeaBall, cup diffuser, or a TeaPot with diffuser built in.
