Herbal Teas and Infusions

“a cure in every cuppa”

There is a herb to treat every human ailment - a fact that medicine-people have known for millenia. Finding and processing the appropriate plant material can be challenging at times, especially for folks living in today's cities.

We prepare many of the weeds growing at Middle Path for medicinal use - chiefly as tinctures which have long shelf lives combined with efficient assimilation of the key ingredients. However we cannot offer these to you without a consultation (that's the law in Australia) and this has put us, at times, in the uncomfortable position of not being able to provide help when it is sorely needed.

You can see the list of teas available through our webshop here.

We dry quantities of herbs for making teas by infusion, in Australia it has become illegal to refer to these as “medicinal” or “therapeutic” - in fact to make any public statement suggesting thay have any beneficial effect upon a person's health - and so we offer them as teas.

Most of these plants have been used throughout mankind's history on planet earth for their medicinal and therapeutic properties.

We are now offering a limited range of dried herbs which you can use to make a tea (or infusion) and thereby get the benefits of these plants without needing a consultation. The plant material we use has been organically grown and sensitively dried to produce the best (most potent) benefits available from the plant.

Where demand has outstripped the supply we can produce at Middle Path we have chosen to supplement our harvest with materials outsourced from suppliers with similar standards regarding growing and preparation.
