Herbs with Purpose
For centuries the eastern cultures have been smoking tea for the relaxation and calming effects that herbal teas such as lavender, chamomile and peppermint have on the body.
We innovated this ancient method by utilising water vapour to deliver the herbal ingredients.
Lavender:
Research suggests that lavender may be useful for treating anxiety, insomnia, depression, and restlessness. Some studies suggest that consuming lavender as a tea can help digestive issues such as vomiting, nausea, intestinal gas, upset stomach, and abdominal swelling.

They help boost breast milk supply in new mothers. The herb has a long history in balancing hormones. It may help lower the sex drive in people who wish to stay chaste.
