Rooibos & Butcher’s Broom Tea

Butcher’s Broom is small indigenous shrub native to Western Europe. Its name originates from the fact that butchers used to bundle its branches to sweep clean their chopping boards. It contains a variety of medicinal chemicals, including flavonoids and has a long history of use in herbal therapy.

It is often used to treat symptoms of poor blood circulation like pain, heavy, swollen, or cramping legs and varicose veins.
