From the Manufacturer
About Traditional Medicinals

In early 1974, three young friends started Traditional Medicinals® in the back store room of a small herb shop along the Russian River in Northern California. The company was founded with the intention of providing herbal teas for self care, while preserving the knowledge and herbal formulas of Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM). At the time, traditional herbal tea infusions had all but faded away in the United States. And never before had these reliable formulas been available in convenient tea bags. Over the decades that followed, the company introduced millions of health conscious consumers to traditional herbal tea formulas and the concepts of THM. These reliable natural teas were well received and Traditional Medicinals® has grown dramatically.

Well over a billion cups of tea have been produced at our beautiful country facility and some products like Organic Smooth Move®, Organic Throat Coat® and Organic Mother’s Milk® have become mainstream and can be found in supermarkets and drug stores throughout North America. Additionally, our product offerings have expanded to include some of our best selling tea formulas in other forms such as pastilles, syrups and capsules.

From our simple beginnings we have been able to share the wonder of herbs and pass along the knowledge contained in the great systems of Traditional Herbal Medicine. To this we have added clinical testing and scientific understanding, as well as sophisticated processes to ensure you reliable products. So, while our business has grown and evolved, we remain rooted in the serious and spirited commitment with which we began over thirty years ago.

Traditional Medicinals® offers Herbal Dietary Supplements, Natural Health Products, OTC Medicines and Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products for the global market.

The company was founded with the intention of providing healing remedies, while preserving the knowledge and herbal formulas of Traditional Herbal Medicine, or THM. At the time, traditional herbal tea infusions, likely the earliest form of medicine, had all but faded away here in this country. And never before had these safe and effective medicines been available in convenient tea bags. Over the decades that followed, the company introduced millions of health conscious consumers to traditional herbal tea formulas and the concepts of THM.

Customer Reviews

Suprisingly great for my severe PMS and cramps
This tea is wonderful. I was skeptical that it was going to help my cramps but I decided to try it. I knew the tea by itself is good for you and it's organic so I thought--why not? Because of this tea, this month is the second time I have not been popping Ibuprofen like candy. I drank this tea in the morning (double dose..2 bags in 1 cup) and 1 dose 3 hours later. I was at church so I didn't take the tea with me and the cramps were starting to bother me again. When I got home, I drank the tea and after 30 minutes, completely pain-free. I read raspberry leaf is good for the uterus..Anyway, it helped me. The tea has to steep for 10-15 minutes covered. Honestly a pleasant surprise. Everyone was telling me to take birth control pills to lessen severe cramps but I refuse to because of the serious side effects. Can't go wrong with natural.

Works great during my pregnancy
During my pregnancy, I read that raspberry leaf tea can help strengthen the uterus for labor. I started drinking this tea 3 times a day on my 39th week. Before I went into the hospital for a cervadil and induction, I used 2 tea bags and infused it for 30 minutes. I brought some tea bags with me to drink during my stay at the hospital. This is my 2nd pregnancy and this time was more positive and less tramatic for me. I only had to push my son out 3 times before he came out on his own. The contractions were strong enough to push him out without any help from me. I certainly believe this tea helped my labor to be shorter and easier for me. I felt better and stronger for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy than the whole 9 months. I also like the smell and taste of this tea. I continued to drink this tea for my recovery from giving birth. This tea has become my favorite drink now. I definitely recommend drinking this tea during the last few weeks (starting 34 weeks) of pregnancy.

For Inducing Labor
I bought this to try and induce my labor. I drank a few glasses 5 days before I was due to give birth. I started drinking the tea around noon and I had my baby that same night. I was however taken by surprise. Contractions came out of nowhere around 7:30pm.... and they were a million times more painful than anything I felt with my first labor. I didn't want to wait around to time them since they were so painful, we left for the hospital at 8:05 pm, arrived there at 8:30 and she was born at 8:45pm. I didn't even have time for pain medicine or an IV... so a little scary... and I felt things I'd rather not ever feel again...but the tea seems to have done the job :)
