Ruckle Heritage Farm Herbal Teas
All of the plants that make up our teas are grown or foraged right here on the farm! We recommend using 1 Tbsp per cup of hot water to achieve a strong enough flavor and reap the nutritional benefits outlined below. Allow your infusion to steep for at least ten minutes or overnight on the counter.
Please note that the following is for informational purposes only. Please consult your health care practitioner before consuming any herbal products.
Lemon Balm
Calming lemon balm may help with insomnia, anxiety and indigestion, especially for an upset stomach due to nervousness.
Catnip
Catnip isn’t just for cats! While this herb makes cats frisky, for humans it actually has a calming effect on the nervous system and can help one sleep. It is considered a mild sedative that also aids digestion and can even help with motion sickness.
Mint
This classic tea can settle your stomach and help digestion and even freshen breath. Makes a refreshing iced tea!
Chocolate Mint
The same benefits as mint tea with a smooth and delicious hint of chocolate.
Lady’s Mantle
This plant’s leaves are said to help aches and pains during menstruation and ease menopausal symptoms.
Stinging Nettle
Particularly when harvested prior to the plant flowering, nettles are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Nettle tea is a grounding, earthy tea that is good for skin health and may help lower blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation and combat hay fever.
Rose/Lavender/Calendula Tea Blend
Calendula is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Roses are full of antioxidants and may relieve stress. Lavender can help with anxiety and depression.
Christmas Tree Tea
This seasonal favorite is made with Douglas Fir (high in vitamin C), Nettles (see above nettle tea description), Cleavers (excellent for the lymphatic system), organic orange peel (good for digestion) and wonderfully aromatic organic cinnamon chips and organic cloves. All ingredients from the farm except orange peel, cinnamon and cloves.
