"Urinary Tract Infection" (UTI) Herbal Mix

A UTI can affect any part of the urinary system, including the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys, but it usually starts in organs of the lower urinary tract, bladder, and urethra. 

This mixture contains carefully selected herbs that act as mild diuretics to help flush out bacteria while supporting bladder function. It has anti-inflammatory, astringent, and urinary antiseptic properties and it's effective at treating and preventing UTIs. 

Ingredients
Horsetail (Equisetum Arvense), Couch Grass (Agropyron Repens), Marshmallow Root (Althaea Officinalis), Bearberry (Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi), Corn Silk (Stigma Maydis)

Recommended Dosage
◉ 1-3 teaspoons of loose tea (or 3g up to 3 times) daily. If more than one herbal mixture is consumed at the same period of time, reduce the amount of tea accordingly.
◉ When herbs are used for an extended period of time, it is suggested to consume a herbal remedy with a ratio of 3 to 1. For example:
- If you choose to take it for 3 weeks, have a one-week pause.
- If it is taken for a 30-day period, have a 10-day pause.
That does not apply to herbs and fruits that have a laxative effect.

Notes
◉ Should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry place- to preserve the flavor, texture, and properties.
◉ Before adding a new herbal remedy or supplement to your daily routine, you should consult with a medical doctor or holistic health practitioner. 

Herbal Tea Brewing Instructions

• Hot Brew

1. Heat the water to just the point when it starts to boil.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of loose tea, to a tea infuser or tea bag, for every 180ml - 240ml of water.
3. Pour the heated water (right off the boil) over the tea, cover your cup, and steep for 7-10 minutes or longer.
4. Add honey or stevia for sweetness, if desired. 

• Cold Brew

A cold infusion delivers flavors that are sweeter, smoother, more complex, and can be made in a number of different ways.

1. The Fast Way (Best For Herbal Tea)
   Follow the steps as shown in the "Hot Brew", but use less water, and perhaps even more tea, in order to produce tea concentrate.
   Strain and pour over ice or cold water.
2. Overnight Ice Tea
   Add 1-2 teaspoons of loose tea to a tea infuser or tea bag, for every 200ml - 250ml of water. Pour room-temperature water over the tea, stir, cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
