Fun fact: from a Chinese Medicine perspective, Spring time is physically, emotionally and energetically the best time to detox your liver. Let’s explore why!
In Chinese medicine, the body is viewed through the lenses of the ‘5 Elements’. According to these principles, all change in the universe and in your body occurs in five distinct cyclical stages or elements. Each of these stages is associated with a particular time of year, a specific element in nature, and a pair of organs in the body.
As a brief overview, the five elements refer to Wood/Spring, Fire/Summer, Earth/Late Summer, Metal/Aut ..read more

Fight or flight mode from a TCM perspective is an incredibly taxing state for the mind, body and soul to perpetually stay in. Chronic stress is detrimental to the body which in turn, causes adrenal depletion. Interestingly, not many of us realize that we are in a state of chronic stress, because the modern day lifestyle often praises an erratic and fast-paced schedule.
Constant stimulation of iPhones, constant information coming through on our smart devices – means that ‘down time’ is a rarity. Therefore, we run in our Yang energy, and scarcely in our Yin energy.

DAMP. Let’s get literal.
You have probably seen us use this word often; yet what does it actually look and feel like in the human body?
To start, you can take the word ‘damp’ quite literally. Imagine a damp cloth; not quite dry, not quite full of water. Imagine being in a damp room, where mold can easily grow, the air is thick and difficult to breathe and the air flow/circulation is low.
We can more or less translate this to the human body when we speak about ‘damp’ as a condition in TCM.
Now that you have visual, let’s talk about damp from a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective ..read more

So your stomach is ruined. You’re constantly tired, constantly sore, constantly unable to understand what sets your digestion off, constantly trying a world of lotions and potions.
Being uncomfortable is time consuming, and often plants us in the present with the pain and discomfort. Yet, this gives us little chance to dig back into the past.
Because let’s ask a very basic question… what triggered it all?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a concept of “Constitutional V Acquired Weakness”.
Constitutional weakness being what your are genetically predisposed to, emotionally, physically a ..read more

Such a phenomenon exists in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It sounds daunting, so let’s explain.
‘Physical Karma’ according to TCM, is the constitution a person has inherited or in other words, their physical and energetic DNA make-up.
As far as health is concerned, we can positively or negatively influence our health and wellbeing (mind, body and soul), intentionally, via lifestyle and situational choices. Sleeping well, eating well, being mindful (positive influences and thus positive outcomes). Or toxic environments, people, foods or work (negative health outcomes).
When it coms to ‘Physica ..read more

A question we are asked very often; what is the difference between TinyTea or otherwise known as TinyTeatox, and Digestive Herbs?
The answer is, nothing!
We change the name of TinyTea in 2019 to Digestive Herbs. We removed the ’14 day’ size and retained only the ’28 day size’ – meaning that the Digestive Herbs contain 62 teabags – enough for a 4 week digestive reset (plus a few extra teabags for good measure!).
The ingredients remained the same (and have bene the same since 2013).
The only difference is new biodegradable and environmentally friendly packaging – and of course, the new name.

Can you remain on our herbal blends? If so, for how long? Do you switch, do you remain on the same blend?
All the questions and more answered below.
“Can I remain on your herbal blends continuously?”
Yes indeed.
For all of our blends, 2 consecutive programs in a row (8 weeks in total), at 2 cups of our herbs per day, is the great place to begin.
After this time, your body will have received enough of our herbs at that dosage (2 per day), meaning, you can then reduce down to 1 cup per day.
“Why 1 cup per day?”
This is a maintenance level of herbs. The ..read more
