Additionally as the name states, it is especially chock-full of powerful anti-inflammatory herbs; some famous as the Turmeric/Black pepper combination, as well as less well known power-house herbs like the adaptogenic Wild Yam root (Dioscorea villosa), whose combination with Licorice is touted by master herbalist David Hoffman as some of the strongest anti-inflammatory herbs out there. That same combination of Wild Yam and Licorice are also noted for their anti-spasmodic properties, aiding women's menstrual cramps and menopausal symptoms.
The anti-inflammatory benefits are further enhanced by adding milk, cream, coconut oil, ghee or another favorite fat, which also tastes delicious in chai.
The stress hormone regulatory effects of the adaptogenic herbs (Eleuthero, Licorice, Wild Yam) have been clinically proven to help maintain relaxed vitality in the midst of stressful conditions, as well as normal conditions.
*a note on the trace caffeine content: this comes from the roasted oolong twigs in the formula. Grown at an elevation of 500 meters in the Nantou area mountains of Taiwan, this is some of the finest twig tea to be found in the world. Whereas leaf teas have about 60% of the caffeine content as coffee, twig teas have no more than 5 or 10%.
