The Medicinal Power of Tea –"My journey began in 2007 working with patients—they ranged from teens to young adults to adults—I realized that many of the medications that we use, which are beneficial, can save lives, but some of them have specific side effects. And I found out that there were several natural compounds, tea being one, that can play a role as a preventive or something that can be used as adjunctive therapy and serve a healthful purpose. That’s where a lot of my research began, looking into not just tea, but other herbs as well, and the synergistic and additive effect they can have for optimal health, and certainly from a preventive standpoint, if someone wants to start using something even earlier, to put themselves on a healthy trajectory." – Dr. Nada MilosavljevicAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
