Camellia Sinensis | Labrador tea
Details
Product Description
Labrador tea, or Greenland Labrador tea, is not actually related to the tea plant.
Its beautiful, large, fuzzy leaves, harvested from the wild, possess therapeutic properties as enviable as those of Camellia sinensis.
Labrador tea also has a delicately tart and vegetal flavor reminiscent of fir.
Its essential oil is considered anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial, decongestant, and effective in treating various bronchopulmonary ailments (no wonder several Native American nations adopted it to combat colds and flu). Labrador tea is also known for its calming and mildly narcotic effects, helping to combat insomnia and anxiety. It is also recognized as a liver tonic and liver cell regenerator. Finally, it is said to aid digestion, regulate the menstrual cycle, and help women in labor.
Ingredients: Buds, leaves, and stems of Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum).
A word of caution: Due to its high tannin content, large doses or prolonged infusions can cause cramps and stomach upset. It is therefore best not to infuse it for too long and to limit your consumption. Consumption is also not recommended for women who are six months pregnant or less, or for children under six years old.
