The Broken Heart Tea is formulated to help reduce emotional angst, to strengthen the heart and provide antioxidant support to the vascular system.  

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, also known as stress cardiomyopathy, is a well know condition in which there is a weakening of the muscular portion of the heart and it is due to emotional factors. This condition is also known as Broken Heart Syndrome.

As a Tea, the effect is very gentle by supplying the heart and cardiovascular system with specific phytonutrients and antioxidants, to strengthen the heart’s contractions, vortex, balance electrical conductivity and to help treat feelings of angst. These specific herbs have been used for centuries in traditional lore during times of emotional crisis and also to provide support for heart conditions.

The Broken Heart tea is now updated to include Hibiscus, which is extremely high in anthocyanins, and other polyphenols. These antioxidants help to repair the blood vessels, lower LDL levels, are protective to the kidneys. Hibiscus has been used as a safe nutritional supplement for hypertension without interfering in B.P. medications.

Herbal tea infusions penetrate deeper into body tissues, and in the raw organic form, the polyphenols, phyto-nutrients, flavonoids,  antioxidants and the energetics of the whole plant are thought to provide a healing signalling system within the cell cytoplasm.

I’m a clairvoyant and emotional healer. I have developed a condition called Atrial Fibrillation, to do with the electrics in my heart. I have had to give up coffee, tea and go easy on all stimulants like sugar, as this seems to set it off. I love my work and find immense joy and satisfaction with my abilities as a healer.

My Naturopath prescribed the ‘Broken Heart Tea, as its very grounding and calming with my condition and I can take it with medications. I found the energetics gave me a really peaceful feeling and I am sleeping all night, every night!!!!!. Its good to know the nutrients are strengthening for my heart and circulatory system, without causing any complications.

Thank you so much for your amazing heart tea.

Medicinal Botanix was created by Naturopath and Yoga Teacher, Linda McDermott, who adheres to the Naturopathic philosophical premise – vitalism (that there is an innate intelligence of all living organisms) and wholism (that the body is a complex adaptive system that exists as a unified whole). It is the Naturopaths role to enhance this healing power utilizing the 7 traditional principles and ethical codes.

These principles are:

• First, Do No Harm (primum non nocere)
• Healing Power of Nature (vis medicatrix naturae)

• Treat The Whole Person (tolle totum)
• Doctor as Teacher (docere)
• Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
• Wellness and Wellbeing

Medicinal Botanix provides accessible organic botanical medicines, wildcrafted and from the kitchen garden, utilising traditional lore, scientific research and decades of clinical experience, to provide effective and sustaining support for certain health conditions. We passionately believe that if we return to the source of nature for healing, and utilise mother nature’s toolbox, we can gently support the body back to a state of homeostatic balance. We acknowledge the energetics of the plants bring life force and healing frequencies in combination with the researched compounds.

The energetics of the product begins with the quality of the soil, planting of the seeds, through to the packaging process, with the utmost integrity and reverence to Mother Nature.
