We have a lot of loose leaf teas and herbs here, and now you’ll find some of them across the Black River at Monkey Island.

We’re excited to see Monkey Island reopening and wish them the best of luck!

If you’re heading over to check them out, be sure to try their coffees, treats, and some of the teas we carry here too!

Have you heard of amla powder before?

One of the reasons I like amla powder is the vitamin C and antioxidants, but what really caught my attention is the research around amla and healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

You can add the powder to a smoothie or yogurt if you want to try working it into your diet.

I think a lot of us look at the front of the bottle first when we’re buying a supplement.

The front might have a big picture of what it is or say something like magnesium, oregano, immune health, energy, or whatever the product is meant to do. But the part I want to see is the back of the bottle where you can see the ingredient list.

That’s where you can see what else is in the product. Two bottles can look pretty similar on the front and be very different once you turn them around.

It’s worth taking that extra minute before you buy something.

I’ve been drinking more hibiscus tea lately. It’s tart, a little fruity, and makes a good iced tea. I usually like it better cold than hot.

Hibiscus is talked about a lot for heart and blood pressure health.

If you’ve never tried it, we have the dried hibiscus petals. It’s an easy one to make into a tea at home.

Here’s something I’ve been thinking about.

We tend to notice when we don’t feel good. We start looking for what’s wrong and what we can do to feel better.

But I think it’s worth paying attention when you do feel good too.

If you have a day where you feel better than you have in a while, think about what was different.
Maybe better sleep, eating breakfast, getting outside, less stress, or just having a better day made a difference.

It’s Saturday and we’re here!

Stop in and see what catches your eye. Teas, supplements, herbs, self-care and probably a few things you didn’t know we have.

Sometimes you come in knowing exactly what you want. Sometimes you figure it out once you get here.

Feeling off but not quite sure why?

Low energy, poor sleep, stress, digestion issues, aches, or just not feeling like yourself can be your body’s way of asking for more support.

Come into Brastina’s NutriZen and let’s talk about what you’ve been experiencing. We can help you explore products that may support what your body has been missing.
