NATURA-1
Vie Life Vida
A Medicinal Blend of Science and Nutrition
What are NATURA-1 Medicinal Blends?
NATURA-1 Medicinal Blends are medicinal herb blends in the form of loose-leaf tea. I formulated NATURA-1 medicinal blends for the health benefit of my patients. NATURA-1 is sold exclusively in Quebec for clients of Clinique Zarow. NATURA-1 Medicinal Blends are 100% Natural.
How do Medicinal Teas “blend” with Sports Therapy care? Here are just a few typical scenarios..
A client’s acute neck-pain is preventing them from sleeping well and therefore healing well. “REST and RECOVERY” tea featuring valerian, hops and lavender could support manual treatments at Clinique Zarow
A client with tension headache may benefit for a combination of manual treatments supported by NATURA-1’s “HEADACHE and MIGRAINE” Tea.
A client who is seen at my office for treatments while their chronic arthritis condition is flaring up, may also benefit for “RHEUMATISM” Tea between flair-ups.
NATURA-1 Medicinal Blends are not intended to replace, supersede or conflict with my patient’s current medications or advice from their medical doctor. Conflicts and adverse interactions do exist between certain herbs and certain medications, which is why we ask patients to disclose ALL medications so that conflicts can be prevented.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LOOSE-LEAF MEDICINAL BLENDS:
Loose-Leaf means a Natural State: The beneficial components in each blend of Natura1 are in their full, natural state.
Infusion mean Full Contact: When the medicinal herbs found in Natura1 are steeped in hot water, there is full contact with the water, allowing for maximal infusion and optimal health benefits.
No bag mean Full Benefit: Bags may be convenient but they can trap-in beneficial oils and other health-promoting elements that never get infused into everyday tea. With Natura1 you know that when used as directed, you don’t have to worry about the benefits you are seeking being left behind in the bag.
Natura1: Because You’re the One
You’re the one who is seeking ways to be safe and healthy.
You’re the one because you want to take care of yourself now as well as in the future.
You’re the one who knows that in many cases, nature DOES have the answers.
