Mountainroseherbs.com?

Our ND wants my son to have some tea from there. I don't like the option because both blends contain organic stevia.

One blend is fairytale tea, the other is calm kid tea or something like that.

Any thoughts-

Thanks

I've ordered bulk herbs from there and made my own tea blends so I can control what goes in there.

I'm allergic to chamomile and valerian makes me hyper. These are common ingredients in calming teas. Some people do great with them though.

What's wrong with stevia? Does he react to it??

I don't do well with it myself, but most people do. I have a friend who has used this company for several years.

Thanks Judie and Tutu.

I thought Stevia was originally made as a toxin, no? Am I thinking of something else?

I would prefer to make my own as well. IDK......

No, it's from a plant. It's natural. You can grow your own stevia plant and dry the leaves. I have some that a friend grew.

Now you have to be vigilant when buying a brand from the store because many of them have additives. Get a good brand like Sweet Leaf.

Some packets even have added sugar.

What do you mean? ... OH.. yes, it's a sweetener, but it's not like sugar. Does not raise glucose or anything.

I doubt the teas would taste good without a sweetener.

Per Burrascano, page 35, stevia is the safest sweetener. It is allowed on the anti-yeast diet.

It is NOT an artificial sweetener like Equal or Splenda.

It is a natural sweetener. I used it when I was treating lyme.

mountainroseherbs.com is a reputable company. I and many others have ordered bulk herbs from them numerous times.

That said, I do think it is better to make your own tea with bulk herbs rather than buying a pre-made blend that may have sweetener (even if it is "natural") added...

Thanks Guys...it's good to hear it's reputable.

Now, I need to find a tea blend. I will try to post what is in the blends the ND recommended. I'd appreciate any herbal expertise.

Much appreciated-
