Soak seeds 12 to 24 hours in water prior to eating or blending in a smoothie to release the bioavailability and promote digestibility

Seed Tea is a special formulation, specific to helping those with digestive disorders, who cannot normally eat seeds or nuts, be able to capture the vital nutrition of seeds.  To do this we have combined seeds known to help reduce gas, indigestion, bloating, acid reflux, intestinal spasms, and the symptoms of IBS, Crohn’s, and Ulcerative Colitis.
