As a medical doctor/ registered herbalist I am more than familiar with different herbs for different illnesses. I never have a tea that can be used for all except maybe gastrointestinal disease. I have consulted with Botanical Bounty to make some generic teas called “ Calmly”, “ Lovely”, “Sickly”, “Streamly” and our most popular “ Gutsy” Check out www.botanicalbounty.org or call 646 723 1823.
We can also make a tea just for you —just tell us your symptoms and fill out the forms on their website.
For example you suffer from arthritis. I can think of 10 different herbs I can use. Examples of herbs used in tea for arthritis include burdock root, vervain, blessed thistle, devil’s claw and nettles.
I had a parent call me about bedwetting for their 7 year old. There can be many causes. I prescribed a tea of chamomille, St John’s wort and added some ginseng. It worked for this child. I tried the same formula on a different child and it didn’t work. This is why I like to make herbal teas for patients that I meet in the practice.
