The Magic of Herbal Remedies – Te de la Familia
Healing with herbal medicine has been part of the Mexican culture for centuries;
Those of us who grew up with healing herbs can recall a time sitting in our Abuelita’s kitchen and watched as she prepared you a cup of Manzanilla (chamomile) tea for your aching belly. As you sit and wait, you see the fresh tea boiling and smell the lovely fragrance of the herb as it brews over the stove. You take a sip of the warm tea and as it slowly moves down your throat, you instantly feel relief. Healing with herbal medicine has been a vital part of cultures from all over the world and for thousands of years. The first recording detailing herbal medicine dates back to 2800 BCE during the Shen Nung dynasty. The use of healing with medicinal herbs continues to this day as an alternative to conventional medicine.

I have learned so much growing up in an herbal shop and will be eternally grateful for the experience. As I recall my memories of the past, I can still see my grandmother in her herbal garden cutting basil and rosemary and placing the stems in a bucket of water. My grandmother Angelita loved displaying fresh herbs in the shop and offering them to her customers.
At our store, I still see my mother carefully separating herbs and blending her herbal formulas. To this day, our mother Lucia continues to offer the business her expertise as an herbalist. We welcome you to our site and wish you the best of luck as you pursue your new and exciting journey to grow a healthy and happy Familia.
