Blender’s Notes Pancreatic Health:
Steep Me Self Help Tea combinations are a great way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. The blend was built specifically to help the Pancreases to detox, deliver hormones and ease the symptoms of inflammation or Pancreatitis. Your pancreas, a small organ rarely thought of until it causes problems, is vital for your digestive system as well as the endocrine process. Your pancreas has two basic functions: make insulin for controlling blood sugar levels and make enzymes for the digestion of fat and protein. Your pancreas sits behind, and just below, your stomach. It has what is thought of as a head, a body, and a tail. Each part has its own job when it comes to producing specialized chemicals and enzymes. It also produces hormones and vital enzymes which are important to the digestion of food after it leaves your stomach. The fluid that your pancreas produces is alkaline in its makeup, so it neutralizes the acids that come from the stomach, creating the perfect environment for digestive enzymes to do their work.
This blend is based on our Pu-erh Tea. Pu-erh is type of tea that is aged and naturally fermented. This fermentation process allows beneficial bacterial and fungal bacteria to develop, resulting in the tea’s health benefits. To this base we added Calendula Flowers which are another excellent healing herb with a long history of use. It has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can help boost immune health. Studies have demonstrated that calendula can inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells. The herb is often used to support pancreas health and may help relieve some of the symptoms of chronic pancreatitis. Rhodiola was added because it is a potent apoptogenic herb with a wide variety of health benefits. It can help boost general health and stimulate the immune system as well as boosting energy and cognitive health. Cedar Berries were added because they are thought to be effective in improving both the digestive and pancreatic function. Cedar berries can regulate the normal function of the pancreas, which will stabilize blood sugar levels. Olive Leaf is another healthy supplement with excellent antioxidant properties that help prevent oxidative damage in the tissues and organs. Olive leaf extract can also help boost circulation, improve immune health, and detoxify your blood. When taken on a regular basis, olive leaf extract might help support the health of the pancreas as well as the liver and the thyroid. Olive leaf extract’s major active compound – oleuropein also has excellent anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation in the pancreas. Olive leaf extract also contains a compound called oleic acid, which can help neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals including oxidative stress in the pancreas. Garlic can help stimulate pancreatic health helps lower blood sugar levels while helping the pancreas produce the right amount of insulin. It also has a variety of other health benefits including heart health and boosting immunity. Gentian Root can help stimulate the production of pancreatic enzymes and stomach acids to enhance digestion. It is often used to help bolster pancreas health but there are no studies into its effectiveness for pancreatitis. stimulate the gall bladder, mucous membranes of the stomach and the pancreas to increase the production of pancreatic enzymes, stomach acid, bile, and other juices that encourage healthy digestion. Goldenseal is one of the most valued herbs known to man due to its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. It can lower blood sugar levels and help the pancreas with its overall function. It stimulates the beta cells within the pancreas, which is beneficial to those with diabetes. With its antibacterial, laxative, antiseptic, tonic, muscle stimulant, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic compounds, it can support the healthy function of not only the pancreas, but the colon and spleen as well. Shave grass is a reliable source of silica that can aid healing and restore damaged tissue damaged because of inflammation in the pancreas. Lemon Peel is a strong citrus which encourages the release of vital digestive enzymes from the pancreas. Licorice Root is an outstanding remedy for pancreas disorders. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times for a wide range of conditions and has become more popular in the West. Licorice root has outstanding anti-inflammatory actions that can reduce the swelling and ease the pain of pancreatitis.
We also added Oregano because it can be a treatment for oxidation caused disorders, such as diabetes, due to its rich, natural phenolic antioxidants. The anti-diabetic compounds of oregano have shown it could inhibit porcine pancreatic amylase. These results support the traditional belief that oregano is a powerful anti-hyperglycemic compound that can manage hyperglycemia and/or diabetic long-term complications. The final ingredients are two strong mushrooms of Hari Taki Mushroom and Reishi Mushroom. Hari Taki is believed to support pancreas health had powerful cancer fighting compounds and that it might prevent the growth of cancerous tumors in the pancreas. Scientists believe that haritaki causes apoptosis (natural cancer cell death) but shows no obvious side effects. Reishi Mushrooms have excellent anti-inflammatory actions and are abundant in beneficial bacteria. one animal study into the effects of Reishi mushrooms concluded that they could be useful for people suffering from chronic pancreatitis. This blend can be a daily drink tea for overall health. It is a fantastic option to add before bed to allow the herbs to work while you are at rest and your metabolism is slowed.

Recommended Use
Hi and thank you for choosing Steep Me a Cup of Tea.
I wanted to give a little use information on the tea you chose.
A serving size is considered 2-3 teaspoons in 12-18 ounces of water, this tea likes 200+ degrees for 10 minutes. We do not spray flavorings on our teas, so time is crucial as we are using wild crafted/organic teas and herbs. Once the 10 minutes is up, the tea likes to stay in your “bath” of choice and continue soaking, start drinking me and keep adding water. Once my 10 minutes in hot water is up, feel free to pour me over ice, leave me in the water and keep adding cold water as I will make more than cup.
Thanks for supporting Steep Me a Cup of Tea!!!
