head to toes - arthritis

the knee bone's connected to the leg bone, the leg bone's connected to the thigh bone. and what do you know? they're all aching. it's a fact: whether you suffer from arthritis or not, creaky, achy joints and bones are part of the aging process. as we age, the cartilage and ligaments that keep our body moving deteriorate from the stress of daily life, leading to stiff joints that can seriously cramp your style.

the blend starts with a dose of turmeric, long prized and regarded as one of the most effective natural antidotes to stiff, sore joints. fennel, another of the herbal components has also long been thought to ease the joints, (and adds a licorice-like flair to the blend.) not to be outdone, we've also included burdock root, another noted joint reliever thanks to fatty oils that deliver an anti-inflammatory boost.

along with this trio of natural joint-relievers, we've added a smattering of antioxidant rich citrus, flowers, and spice to deliver a cup that's as delicious as it is nutritious. naturally caffeine-free, if you're feeling the weather change in your joints, you've got a cup in the forecast.
