Plantain Leaf is a must-have herb for every naturally-minded home. This powerful anti-inflammatory has an incredible ability to draw poisons from the physical body, both internally and externally, yet is gentle enough for children, pregnant/nursing women, or the immunocompromised. Pomegranates provide an abundance of antioxidants to nourish and heal cellular damage. In this hand-crafted brew, pomegranates present rich berry tartness while plantain leaf offers a subtle earthy and peppery taste. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
