Dr. Miller's Tea Ingredients

Blessed Thistle

Blessed Thistle has fuzzy leaves and stems with yellow flowers. It is a "bitter" that aids digestion and works on a congested liver. It increases breast milk and is an emotional ally to uplift spirits.

Biological name: Compositae Cnicus benedictus

Blessed Thistle [Glandular] is so named because of the ancient belief that it possessed supernatural qualities. It grows up to two feet tall and is found in meadows and along roadsides. From May to June the plant bears pale yellow flowers. Among natural-health enthusiasts the plant is commonly used to support the female reproductive system.

By mouth, blessed thistle products are used primarily to treat gastrointestinal complaints such as indigestion and diarrhea. Blessed thistle can also be applied to relieve skin wounds.

Note: Although the plants appear similar, Blessed Thistle has much different uses than Milk/Holy Thistle

Warning: This product contains cathartic herbs. Pregnant and nursing women, elderly, children and individuals suffering from any illness or health condition should consult with a physician before starting this or any other cleansing exercise of weight management program.

Blessed Thistle has been known to aid the body with the following ailments:

• Anorexia
• Antibiotic
• Antimicrobial
• Appetite Stimulant
• Astringent
• Bleeding
• Blood Purification
• Boils
• Breast Milk Stimulant
• Cancer
• Contraception

Blessed Thistle is known to have antimicrobial effects in viral infections. Historically, Blessed Thistle has been recommended as a treatment for stomach upset, indigestion and gas.

Treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation and flatulence. It is also popularly regarded as a galactagogue, as mentioned above. It is a wonderfully magical herb.

Holy Thistle (Scientific Name: Milk Thistle)

Holy thistle has been used medicinally for over 2000 years, most commonly for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. It supports the liver in the release of toxins; its products are popular in Europe and the United States for various types of liver disease. Holy thistle is believed to have great power in the purification and circulation of the blood. It is such a good blood purifier that drinking a cup of thistle tea twice a day will cure chronic headaches. Used for stomach and digestive problems, gas in the intestines, constipation, and liver troubles. It is very effective for dropsy, strengthens the heart, and is good for the liver, lungs, and kidneys.

Milk/Holy Thistle contains silymarin, which may have specific protective effects on cells in the liver. Silymarin and other chemicals in milk thistle are believed to protect liver cells in several different ways:

• Contains antioxidant properties. Antioxidants prevent or lessen damage to body cells caused by oxidation.
• Anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin help keep liver cells from swelling in response to injury.
• Silymarin seems to encourage the liver to grow new cells, while discouraging the formation of inactive fibrous tissue.
• By changing the outside layer of liver cells, silymarin may also keep certain harmful chemicals from getting into liver cells.

Holy Thistle may also cause the immune system to be more active.  Silymarin and other chemicals from Holy Thistle have also been tested in laboratory studies involving various types of human cancer cells. In general, they seem to interrupt cancer cell division as well as shortening the time that cancer cells live. They may also stop or limit the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors. Most research has centered on breast cancer and prostate cancer, but Holy Thistle may also be useful in treating other cancers such as leukemia. Additionally, some chemicals from Holy Thistle may increase the effectiveness of current anticancer drugs. Some of these anticancer effects are being studied in early-phase human trials, but none is yet confirmed.

Malva Leaf

The plant is also known as Chinese Mallow, and it comes from the family Malvaceae.

Malva Leaves are used medicinally, often made into a tea to soothe membranes of the digestive system. Malva Leaf is high in mucilaginous materials, making it suitable as a protector of the respiratory system and a soother of the lungs. It is indicated in cases of bronchitis, emphysema, and when bronchial irritation is present. Malva Leaf is mildly astringent and diuretic, and has been used to treat gastroenteritis, stomachache, and conditions of the spleen.

The Malva seed contains mucilage, polysaccharides and flavonoids. It is demulcent, (soothes and softens irritated tissues, especially the mucus membranes) diuretic, emollient, (softens the skin) galactogogue (increases milk flow in nursing mothers), and gentle stimulation of the bowels. The seeds are used in Tibetan medicine, where they are considered to have a sweet and astringent taste plus a healing potency. They are used in the treatment of renal disorders, the retention of fluids, frequent thirst and diarrhea.

The weedy Malva Leaf has been used interchangeably for food, tea and medicine for thousands of years.

Malva has been used for:

• Bronchitis
• Colitis
• Cutaneous Diseases
• Gastroenteritis
• Inflamed Hemorrhoids
• Inflammation of the Cervix
• Intestinal Infections
• Leucorrhea or White Discharge
• Pleurisy (Inflammation of the membrane that covers the lungs)
• Rectitis
• Soften Tumors and Abscess
• Tonsillitis
  

Marshmallow Leaves

Marshmallow (Althea officinalis)-the herb, not the white puffy confection roasted over a campfire-has been used for centuries as both a food and a medicine. Its botanical name comes from the Greek word "altho," which means "to cure." The Romans, Chinese, Egyptians, and Syrians used marshmallow as a source of food, while the Arabs made poultices from its leaves and applied this to the skin to reduce inflammation. The mucilage, or gummy secretion, in the leaves and particularly the root is helpful for soothing sore throats, chapped skin, and minor wounds.

Professional herbalists may recommend marshmallow for the following health problems based on its long history of use in traditional healing systems, as well as results of laboratory studies.

• Asthma
• Bronchitis
• Common cold/sore throat
• Cough
• Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
• Stomach ulcers
• Weight loss aid (marshmallow swells with fluid and gives a sense of fullness)
• Wound healing

Milk Thistle

Silybum marianum

Other Names: Cardui mariae, Carduus marianum, Lady's Thistle, Legalon, Marian Thistle, Mariendistel, Mary Thistle, Our Lady's Thistle, Silimarina, Silybin, Silymarin, St. Mary Thistle

Milk thistle contains several chemicals with possible medical effects. Most current research focuses on one of them, silymarin, which may have specific protective effects on cells in the liver. In multiple human, animal, and laboratory studies, silymarin has shown differing degrees of effectiveness for protecting the liver from damage caused by alcohol, chemicals, drugs, diseases, and poisonous plants. It is used to treat both acute conditions (such as poisoning) and long-term diseases (such as hepatitis C). Silymarin and other chemicals in milk thistle are believed to protect liver cells in several different ways:

Silymarin has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are thought to prevent or lessen damage to body cells that is caused by a chemical process called oxidation.

Anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin help keep liver cells from swelling in response to injury.

Silymarin seems to encourage the liver to grow new cells, while discouraging the formation of inactive fibrous tissue.

By changing the outside layer of liver cells, silymarin may also keep certain harmful chemicals from getting into liver cells.

Milk (Holy) thistle may also cause the immune system to be more active.

Silymarin and other chemicals from milk thistle have also been tested in laboratory studies involving various types of human cancer cells. In general, they seem to interrupt cancer cell division as well as shortening the time that cancer cells live. They may also stop or limit the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors. Most research has centered on breast cancer and prostate cancer, but milk thistle is also being tested for treating other cancers such as leukemia. In some animal studies, certain types of breast cancer tumors actually increased in number and/or seriousness when milk thistle was given to female animals with existing breast tumors. However, the application of a second milk thistle chemical, silibinin, to the skin of laboratory animals has protected the animals against the development of skin cancer - either before or immediately after exposure to damaging radiation. Silibinin may even help to restore damaged skin somewhat by mending DNA that has been harmed by ultraviolet rays. In addition, some chemicals from milk thistle may increase the effectiveness of current anticancer drugs. Some of these anticancer effects are being studied in early-phase human trials, but none is confirmed, yet.

Milk thistle and chemicals derived from it are being studied for a number of additional possible effects. For example, in a study of humans, milk thistle produced modest reductions in cholesterol levels. Results of separate laboratory studies show that milk thistle may help to protect the heart muscle from damage caused by certain drugs.

Persimmon Leaves

Rich in vitamin C.  Helps to prevent allergy symptoms and itching.

Allergies are your body's overreaction to allergens, which can range from animals to food to plants. Normally, your immune system protects your body from harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses and toxins by producing antibodies. If you have an allergy, your body overreacts to exposure to certain allergens by producing antibodies which cause the symptoms you experience.

Many people treat their allergies with pharmaceutical drugs. These treatments provide rapid, temporary relief by masking the symptoms. But the symptoms reoccur when the drugs wear off, and the drugs themselves can trigger side effects like dry mouth and nasal passages or lethargy. And who needs more discomfort?

Botanical extracts offer a safe and effective way to alleviate symptoms, while avoiding the unpleasant side effects of conventional drugs. Studies have shown that supplements containing healthy phytochemicals and botanical extracts such as Persimmon Leaves work to alleviate symptoms without negative side effects.

Botanical extracts also help treat the real cause of long-term allergy problems - the immune system's excessive release of allergy-inducing chemicals -- by inhibiting histamine release and correcting immune system dysfunctions. That's good news for allergy sufferers.

Allergies make you miserable!  Instead of relying on pharmaceuticals that provide temporary relief and add different symptoms to the mix, why not try Holy Tea which contains the proven extract of Persimmon Leaves?

Take control of your allergies - NATURALLY!!

Red Clover Blossoms

Red Clover is also known as Meadow Trefoil, Cleaver Grass, Marl Grass, Sweet Clover, Wild Clover, Cow Clover, and Purple Clover.

Ancients called it Triphyllon, meaning "three leaves". This term also relates to the common name, Clover, which stems from "clava", meaning "three-leaved". The three leaves were said to correspond to the triad goddesses of Mythology, and later to the Trinity in Christianity.

Red Clover grows in Europe and North America. The plant grows best where soils are rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium. The flowering tops are used medicinally. In Europe, Red Clover is widely cultivated and used as a tonic and a salad herb. Honey makers to add a mild, sweet taste to their honey use Red Clover. Herbalists have long prized this herb for it's traditional use as a blood purifier, expelling toxins from the bloodstream.

Primary chemical constituents of Red Clover include phenolic glycosides (salicylic acid), essential oil (methyl salicylate), sitosterol, genistiene, flavonoids, salicylates, coumarins, cyanogenic glycosides, silica, choline, and lecithin. Red Clover also contains vitamin A, vitamin C, B-complex, calcium, chromium, iron, and magnesium. Researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have found anticancer properties in this herb. Red Clover is one of the most useful remedies for children with skin problems. Because it is mild, it makes an excellent nutritional supplement for children.

The expectorant and antispasmodic action give this remedy a role in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis, but especially in whooping cough, dry cough and colds. Red Clover also increases the production of mucus and urine flow helping relieve irritation and inflammation of the urinary tract. As a digestive aid, Red Clover stimulates the production of digestive fluids and bile. It also relieves constipation and helps soothe inflammation of the bowel, stomach and intestines. Red Clover contains easily absorbed calcium & magnesium which tones and relaxes the nervous system, relieving tension due to stress and the associated headaches, which are further relieved by the silicic acid content. Clinical evidence shows that there is a basis for its long-standing tradition in treating cancer and its antimicrobial properties have been proven effective against tuberculosis.

For women, Red Clover is quite special. It contains stilbene, which stimulates estrogenic activity, thus increasing fertility, and reduces "hot flashes" experienced by women during menopause. It also supports the uterus with its vitamin content, and the high protein content nourishes the whole body. There is also an alkalizing effect, which improves the vaginal and uterine acid/alkaline balance. Red Clover Blossoms is a powerhouse in maintaining our good overall health.

Sarsaparilla Root

(in Miracle Tea only)

Sarsaparilla is a natural herb that has been used by many individuals in connection with liver disease and syphilis. However, it is most commonly used in connection with eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders. It is a natural power root that helps the body fight all disease.

Sarsaparilla is native to South America, Latin America, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean and was introduced to Europe in the late 15th century. Unlike the sarsaparilla tree, which is primarily found in the Northern hemisphere, sarsaparilla is a vine-like plant that has wood-like stems and long thorns. Sarsaparilla was exported to Europe before 1530 from Mexico. It was used in the sixteenth-century for syphilis and rheumatism. Sarsaparilla was used in the 1850s for syphilis in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia. Sarsaparilla products were promoted as blood purifiers, tonics, diuretics, sweat inducers, and for many other applications and was often used in patent medicines. With claims implying it contains testosterone, sarsaparilla has been used as a male sexual rejuvenator and an anabolic steroid replacement in natural bodybuilding formulas.

Sarsaparilla contains steroidal saponins, such as sarsasapogenin, which some researcher claim can duplicate the action of some human hormones. Sarsaparilla also contains beta-sitosterol, a phytosterol, which may contribute to the anti-inflammatory property of this herb. A few reports suggest that sarsaparilla has both anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting effects. Similar findings on the effect of sarsaparilla on psoriasis can also be found in European literature.

It is used in other parts of the world in connection with acne, eczema, fungal infections, and similar skin conditions. Sarsaparilla can be applied to the inflamed or infected skin in a tea form by slashing it on as a wash or as a compress. Topically it seems to be effective against itching and infections and seems to possess antibacterial properties. See our special accolade to this wonderful herb on our Home Page.

"A Healthy Dose of Sarsaparilla"

By Jerome L. Cosyn

Hanging in my living room is an advertising poster from sometime in the late nineteenth century. It hangs in my house largely because of the wonderful artwork: a lovely, angelic, round-cheeked young girl, with blue eyes and curly blonde tresses and rosebud lips. A vision of virginal Victorian virtue, the epitome of youthful innocence and beauty, a paragon of health and rectitude, she gazes serenely into the distance, head turned slightly to profile in a posture that conveys wonder and hope and a guileless and immaculate strength. A slight flush of rose in her cheeks reveals her energetic enthusiasm for life, for this child faces each new day with eager confidence. Her eyes betray no hint of worry or fear; she has never known disease or suffering. In this painting is encapsulated everything a loving parent could possibly hope for his children. The artist -- totally unknown, of course -- had an enormous talent: the ability to distill the dreams and hopes and grandeur of a proud and growing culture from a palette of oil colors onto canvas.

The portrait, naturally enough, takes up most of the poster: near-life size head and shoulders of the girl centered against a neutral background. Across the top, in tastefully bold-faced letters drawn in an eye-pleasing, jaunty calligraphy, not too large, not too bold, not too gaudy, is the name of the product: Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In the upper right and upper left corners, in slightly smaller, more sedate print, are the phrases: "Makes the Weak Strong" and "Improves the Complexion, Purifies the Blood". Across the bottom is the slogan:

"How fair she grows from day to day." She uses Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

How quaintly absurd we find such claims today, for a simple beverage of mere flavored water once dispensed as a "tonic" (which is still the general term for soda pop in certain areas of the country) but which was little different from the drink we now call root beer. The sophisticated American mind of today would of course scoff at such pretensions as "Purifies the Blood", even if truth-in-advertising laws let them slip through. Today, we know better than to place our faith in wild claims of health and vigor from ordinary foods and beverages. We can smile at the naive charm of those simpler times, seeing through such transparent attempts to manipulate us as easily as a modern ten-year-old dispels the myth of Santa Claus.

Nowadays we would never be taken in by snake-oil incantations and absurd assertions from fast-talking medicine show hucksters. Today, people are vastly more aware, more perceptive than those simple-minded bumpkins of yore. We're seasoned, sharp and cynical, educated, worldly. We know about health and medicine and nutrition because there are thousands of books and magazine articles, talk show interviews and free government pamphlets, concerned coworkers and relatives and even complete strangers on the street to explain it to us. We can't get through a day without being told a dozen times what's truly healthful and what to avoid; we're bombarded, lambasted, inundated with endless volleys of wellness programs and organic vegetables, workouts and smoke outs, vitamins and minerals and high-fiber, low-sodium alternatives.

We monitor our intake of caffeine and calories, sugar and sodium, and we scrutinize our cholesterol and blood sugar levels; we abhor MSG and eschew carcinogens. We aerate, chlorinate, and fluoridate; we exercise and aerobicize. In even the smallest towns can be found a cornucopia of organic bean curd, hydroponic tomatoes, hand-made marmalade and high-protein low-fat tofu. In short, we are the most health conscious, medically aware, biologically in-tune society that mankind has ever produced, and no one could ever be deceived by so obvious a canard as "Purifies the Blood".

These days, when advertisements proclaim that seemingly ordinary products will enrich our lives and ensure our health, we know that they can be believed, because clean-cut, smarmy, bespectacled men with straight white teeth and conservative ties and white smocks stand before us, clutching clipboards like stone tablets handed down from the mount by the god of scientific scrutiny, with actual, factual, objective reports that prove it to be so. Television advertising is awash in a veritable Sargasso Sea of graphs and charts and diagrams and reports, from the AMA, the ADA and the FDA; medical experts, dental authorities, trained nutritional specialists and ubiquitous independent study teams demonstrate to us with unimpeachable testimony that the products offered to us are blessed and beneficial. Keen scientific minds are diligently and tirelessly at work performing elaborate research, writing books, giving interviews, and providing a steady, life-giving stream of facts and statistics to keep us healthy and prolong our lives.

A bran muffin a day will add years to your life. The right facial cleanser will actually slow the aging process. Mothers who care about their kids would rather die than feed them the wrong brand of peanut butter. A simple shot glassful of cough syrup will eradicate a multitude of symptoms. The nutritionally correct choice of bread will build your body in a baker's dozen ways. Chicks dig guys who use tartar control toothpaste. Just one of these pills will cause your body to burn away as many calories as if you'd run a marathon -- and it's COMPLETELY SAFE! Indeed, you take your life in your hands if you use a product that isn't doctor tested, clinically proven, medically effective, nutritionally beneficial, dentist approved and scientifically validated.

Before the advent of television, it was easy for advertisers to dupe an unsuspecting public because reality could be modified or even fabricated by professionals who specialized in creating specific images. The angelic young girl on my antique sarsaparilla poster is an artistic creation, an idealized representation brought into existence solely for the purpose of selling a product. In all her perfection, she was never really real. But today, the electronic marvel of television brings us visible reality; people who actually exist and who have clearly known the amazing benefits of the products they offer us. The faithful scrutiny of the camera brings the truth into our homes.

Yes, gone are the days of primitive hucksterism and those quaintly transparent claims of health and vitality from ordinary food and hygiene products. Health awareness has come of age. "Purifies the Blood" indeed!

We've come a long way, baby.

Southern Ginseng

(in Miracle Tea only)

Other Names: Gynostemma, Amachazuru, Jiaogulan, Miracle Grass,, Vitis pentaphyllum, Xianxao, Southern Ginseng pentaphyllum

Powerful Adaptogenic and Antioxidant Herb

Although it has been used to treat a wide range of diseases in its native areas of China, Southern Ginseng has been studied most for its effects on the heart and blood vessels. Southern Ginseng may have a direct strengthening effect on the heart, causing the heart to beat more powerfully. It may also have a number of secondary cardiovascular effects, such as reducing the stickiness of blood components called platelets. Created in the bone marrow, platelets circulate in the blood. In a process called "platelet aggregation", they stick to injured tissue, beginning the blood clotting process and promoting wound healing. Southern Ginseng's potential reduction in platelet aggregation may help to reduce the build up of plaques in blood vessels. Plaques are accumulations of fats and blood cells that may lead to heart attacks or strokes if blood flow becomes restricted. In addition, Southern Ginseng has been shown in laboratory studies to widen blood vessels -- an effect that may both lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. Evidence suggests that Southern Ginseng also contains chemicals that may lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

Because it is an antioxidant, Southern Ginseng also has the potential as an anticancer and immune-stimulating agent. Antioxidants are thought to protect body cells from damage caused by a chemical process called oxidation, which produces oxygen free radicals, natural chemicals that may also suppress immune function. As shown in laboratory studies of human cancer cells, Southern Ginseng may disrupt normal cell division in cancer cells, thereby preventing or delaying the onset of cancer and destroying existing cancerous tumors. Separate animal studies show that Southern Ginseng may also help to regulate the immune system. When it was tested with either deficient or overactive immune systems, Southern Ginseng appeared to return immune function to levels that are more normal. The antioxidant effects of Southern Ginseng may also protect the liver from some of the damage caused by certain drugs or chemicals or by chronic alcohol abuse. In animal studies, Southern Ginseng has interfered with the development of liver fibrosis – the formation of scar-like fibers in the liver. Because the non-functioning fibers crowd out active liver tissue, liver function decreases gradually as the amount of fibrous tissue increases. Southern Ginseng contains many amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are healthful to the human body, including selenium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, and more. Environmental pollution, poor nutrient, and stress can all lead to liver deficiency where the body is not able to convert food into energy, and instead convert them to triglycerides and stored as fat. Southern Ginseng may help regulate fat metabolism, maintain normal cholesterol levels and maintain a healthy blood pressure.

Chinese Herbal Remedy for Cardiovascular Diseases

Southern Ginseng is a powerful adaptogenic Chinese herb that has been used for centuries by the Chinese as an expectorant and a natural way to relieve inflammation. Belonging to the cucumber family, this herb is also referred to as "southern ginseng" where it is grown traditionally in the mountainous region of South Central China. This is a region of the world that is well known for the longevity of its inhabitants as well as the low incidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer that exist there. It was believed that the food and lifestyle there contributed to the well-being and longevity of its inhabitants. But now it has been shown that one herb in particular was a major factor accounting for the low rates of cardiovascular diseases in that region. That herb is Southern Ginseng and scientific pharmacological tests reveal that Southern Ginseng has the most incredible ability to lower cholesterol levels in the blood stream. Southern Ginseng works by emulsifying the cholesterol deposits that have accumulated on the vascular walls, flushing them out from the circulatory system. Additional benefits to the circulatory system include lowering high blood pressure, decreasing the level of high blood fats, and reduction in the incidence of blood clots and arteriosclerosis.

Its importance to cardiovascular health is well-known but Southern Ginseng has other lesser known but equally important health benefits. Being an adaptogen, this herb has the unique ability to help "restore homeostasis" or "reestablish equilibrium" to the body's various systems, which includes the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, immune and reproductive systems. Besides its ability to help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels, it also help increase good cholesterol (HDL) levels, boosts the immune system by elevating the number and activity of white blood cells, strengthen the digestive system by assisting in liver function through inhibited oxidation of liver cells and relieve stress by soothing and relaxing the central nervous system.

Additionally because of its direct stimulation on liver function, Southern Ginseng may also be use for natural weight loss. This is especially true for those with a liver deficiency or imbalance, which happens to be most of us. If you work and live in a big city with its surrounding bad air, nutrient deficient diet and worked-related stress, then you have a liver deficiency or imbalance to some degree, whether you know it or not. In a person with a normal, fit liver, consumed sugar and carbohydrates are sent to the muscles to be used as energy whereas in a person with an unfit liver, the sugar is converted instead to triglycerides and then stored as fat. Southern Ginseng's ability to greatly inhibit the "unfit" body's tendencies to store sugars as fat and thus help control the metabolism of fat in the body. Studies have now been conducted that verifies Southern Ginseng ability to help regulate fat metabolism, which plays an important role in the body's capacity to lose weight.

Southern Ginseng is rich in amino acids, antioxidants and minerals and is safe for long-term continuous use. The health-promoting properties of this "miracle grass" are as described:

• Helps maintain healthy cardiovascular function by reducing unhealthy cholesterol levels and lowering high blood pressure by decreasing vascular resistance and increasing coronary blood flow.
• Its adaptogenic properties enhance physiological functions, aiding the body to recover from illness, stress and fatigue.
• Powerful antioxidant for protecting the body from free radical damage.
• Strengthens the body's immune system and increase its resistance to diseases.
• Inhibits growth of cancerous cells in the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, breasts, uterus, prostate, rectum, thyroid and skin.
• Enhances liver, spleen and digestive system functions, prevents and cure constipation and inhibit the formation of gallbladder stones.
• Assists in natural weight loss by effectively blocking the body's conversion of sugar into stored fat.
• Slows the aging process by strengthening cellular function and promoting cell proliferation.
• Soothing, sedative effects on the central nervous system helps memory and cognitive functions, improves quality of sleep and relieve incidence of insomnia.
• Helpful in the prevention of hair loss and formation of gray hair by increasing the enzyme activity of cell membranes responsible for nourishing the hair follicles.

Easily regulate your bowel health by adjusting the amount of tea you drink every day.

You are making an Infusion - do not boil the tea bags.
Use energized water for best results, and start with 2-12 cups of hot water, best heated on stove or flame. Do not microwave your water.
Drop the tea bag into the hot water. Cover and let sit overnight (minimum 4-6 hours)
Mix into up to one gallon of Energized Water or your favorite drink. You may leave the Holy Tea tea bags in the beverage until all is consumed.
You can mix it into herbal or black tea, and flavor it with stevia, honey, or lemon.
You can leave it at room temperature, refrigerate or warm it up (on your stove).

Drink 2-4 ounces of the concentrate (estimate your dilution) at first to see how your body will react. Drink more if you can tolerate it.

The content of the used tea bags should be consumed. Add the herbs to soups, sauces, stews, salads, or on top of potatoes, pasta or rice. Be as creative as you like.

If you have itchy watery eyes, get a small spray bottle and mix one part good quality apple cider vinegar, and 4 parts Dr. Miller's Tea. This is excellent to kill the germs that are torturing your eyes. Spray your eyes, and rest for a few minutes to give them a chance to absorb the nutrients. There probably is not a more effective natural antibiotic to be found anywhere.

It is possible to experience a bit of discomfort during the first couple days. This is when your body is going through initial cleansing and elimination of old waste. Discomfort (cramping, gas, gurgling) should subside after a couple days.

Most people do not report any discomfort when they drink a small amount of the tea. Dr. Miller's Teas help to regulate your bowels movements to 2 or 3 times per day in order to keep the tract moving.

You should continue to drink Dr. Miller's Tea to break down toxic waste and flush it out of your body. When you feel that you aren't cleaning out fast enough, increase the tea strength or drink more of it. This will rid your body of undigested toxins and make you feel better... and you will see that you're actually expelling the toxicity that you have been fighting.

After the undigested remains of food are moved out (3-14 days for most), your bowel movements will return to normal and your health will start improving.

When you see black feces, it is the potentially REAL trouble being expelled. If you need some extra help, take ¼ teaspoon baking soda with 3 tablespoons of good quality Apple cider vinegar with the solid bits, followed by Dr. Miller's Tea.
Do this after breakfast and dinner. You could also add a glass of water with an ounce of the cider vinegar, and a teaspoon of honey. Sip that during the day. This is a very good method to help alkalize your system and to kill parasites, worms, and other unwelcome creatures.

Warning:
This product contains cathartic herbs. Pregnant and nursing women, the elderly, children, and individuals suffering from any illness or health condition should consult with a physician prior to using this or any herbal supplement.

Dr. Miller Holy Tea is not a drug, nor intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease or illness. You should consult with your physician before starting this or any other cleansing exercise or weight management program.
