Time-Tested Organic Healing Teas from BIJA Tea drinking is a cultural practice the world over. From the imperial court of ancient China to the Russian tea room, from the Japanese tea house to the English village tea shop, the soothing, healing and invigorating effects of tea have been appreciated and understood by many peoples. Ancient healing traditions tell us that the path to good health is through a healthy diet and lifestyle, supplemented by herbal medicine. BIJA Healing Teas are based on time-tested healing formulas from around the world and contain top-quality organic ingredients. The Co-op has now introduced a wide selection of BIJA organic teas: Double Ginger (a robust, flavourful digestive formula), Deep Cleanse (an effective yet gentle detoxifying formula), Lemon Ginger Echinacea (an age-old feel-better blend), Cranberry with Rooibos (a marriage of traditional ingredients for urinary tract health), Echinacea Elderberry with Cranberry and Rooibos (a delicious, preventative cold/'flu formula), Double Ginseng Maximum Panax and Rooibos (a safe and pleasantly sweet, energising formula), Cold Stop (a potent, synergistic immune-system-boosting formula), Sleep Well (a safe, effective formula for rest and relaxation), and many more. One tea is particularly interesting for its natural approach to appetite and weight control. The BIJA Organic Hoodia Slimming Tea is a special blend that offers safe and effective help in losing weight. Hoodia has been used by Kalahari Bushmen for thousands of years. Its active ingredients signal to the brain that the stomach is full, thus suppressing hunger cravings. Hoodia also enhances endurance and physical stamina. Extracts of this rare cactus have been shown in clinical research to be safe. Hoodia controls the appetite during and between meals, increases metabolism and burns fat, prevents the conversion of calories into fat and helps wastes to be eliminated more efficiently. The hallmark of the BIJA family of healing teas is their sensational taste. The prices vary but most packs retail for $10.05, although the Hoodia Slimming Tea sells for $19.95 (Co-op members are entitled to a 5% discount on purchases).
