Ingredients: ginger,  jujube, goji berries in black sugar (4oz jar)

Use: 1-2 tsp (to taste) to hot water (tea temperature)

Refrigerate once open.

Lasts 3-6 months if stored properly in fridge and no moisture (lid tightly sealed).

Traditional recipe – 72 hour preparation.

Benefits:

Period cramps (warms the uterus), great for post menstrual cycle fatigue, low energy, cold hands and feet, digestion, immune system amd more.

My grandma used to tell me that if my feet got cold, I would have really bad period pains the next month. She told me to make sure that I wore shirts that covered my abdomen, so I didn’t get cold in my uterus. It’s funny how Irish and Scottish folklore can be so similar to traditional Chinese medicine.

For those who don’t want the black sugar, you can make jujube tea, send us a message and we can create a beautiful tea blend for you.

I make my daughter a jujube tea with other menstrual supporting herbs for before (PMS), during (flow regulation/discomfort/bloating) and after (energy/mood/vitality).

This labour of love takes HOURS to prep (pitting jujube’s is tedious work) and even longer to stand and stir (when it is traditionally made it takes 72 hours to make)

You don’t need to be a menstruating woman (or have a uterus) to enjoying this mesicinal blend. I use it for warming if I feel cold.

The red dates (jujube) are great to promote sleep, soothe the stomach, ease sore throats and colds. They help ease achy muscles, suppress the appetite (evening munchies be gone) as well as supporting cardiovascular health (I add hawthorn berries to my blend at home).

I enjoy how jujube tea is known to have stimulating effects on the gastrointestinal system, helping relieve irritating symptoms of constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and other common stomach problems.

Korean’s believe it will enhance metabolism, cleanse the blood vessels, and eliminate oxidative stress in the liver. Anything that helps our liver is going to be good for overall health.

Not to mention the goji berries and ginger of course.

As for the unrefined black sugar, it contains minerals like potassium and iron that are filtered out of white sugar. In China, Taiwan, and Japan, a chunk of black sugar in ginger tea is a home remedy for fatigue, nausea, and colds.

So this is a potent paste for just about anyone.
