Wonderful testimonial:
“I received my digestive Repair Tisane right after I got a wicked cold. I know it’s a tea for digestive repair, but since I happened to get the mother of all colds, I have been drinking the tea to sooth my very irritated throat. It has a very soothing, almost coating quality to it and seems to cut down the inflammation and pain factor on throat tissues, which is helping me cough less. I like the taste too (I have never been a huge fan of herbal tea, so that also was a pleasant surprise). I like to drink it cold which adds too soothes inflamed throat tissues. I will be purchasing this again before I run out. It’s a winner in my book.”
