Camellia Sinensis | Labrador tea

Labrador tea, or Greenland Ledon, actually has nothing to do with the tea plant.
Its beautiful, large, downy leaves from wild collection, however, have therapeutic virtues as enviable as those of camellia sinensis.
Labrador tea also has a delicately tangy and vegetal taste reminiscent of fir.

Its essential oil is considered anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial, decongestive and effective in treating various bronchopulmonary conditions (no wonder that several Native American nations have adopted it to combat colds and flu); Labrador Tea is also known for its calming and slightly narcotic action helping to combat insomnia and anxiety; It is also recognized as a liver drainer and regenerator of liver cells. Finally, it would be digestive, would promote the menstrual cycle and would help to promote the labor of women about to give birth.

Ingredients: Labrador tea buds, leaves and stems. (Rhododendron groenlandicum)

Small drawback however: Because of its richness in tannins, large doses or prolonged infusion can cause cramps and stomach aches. It is therefore better not to infuse it for too long and to ration its consumption. Consumption is also not recommended for pregnant women six months or less and children under six years old.
