From Cats to Cleansing: A New Tea is Born

 🐾 From Cats to Cleansing: A New Tea is Born - CuriTea
Our sweet little fur babies in the farm store have been hard at work lately—keeping mice at bay like the true farm MVPs they are. But with all that mouse-catching comes a downside… worms. 😬

Tomato (our brave little representative) took one for the team and went to the vet, and sure enough, everyone got a round of worm meds. They're now happily back to their routine—napping in their beds by day, patrolling for mice by night.

But that whole situation got me wondering:
Can humans get parasites from their pets?

Well, the rabbit hole I went down was both fascinating and kinda gross. Turns out, studies suggest that up to 85% of humans may be carrying some form of parasite. Ewwwwh.
​Yep. I said it. Gross.

So I did what any herb-loving human would do... I Googled:
“What herbs help get rid of parasites?”
And to my surprise, I came across a scientific paper that confirmed something herbalists have said for generations:
🌿 Oregano, rosemary, thyme, cumin, and sweet marjoram have all shown effective
​anti-parasitic properties.

Read the study here.

And of course, I couldn’t resist adding Wormwood (a.k.a. Sweet Annie)—I mean, the name alone screams "get rid of worms!" right?

🌕 Introducing Our Newest Tea Blend Inspired by this little adventure, a new tea has been born. Rooted in folklore and backed by science, the traditional way to use these herbs is to drink the tea five days before the full moon and five days after. (One 40g tea bag will last you two full months of this lunar cycle cleanse.)
I tried it last month and felt so much better—especially digestion-wise. And the best part? These herbs don’t just support parasite cleansing—they come with a whole host of other health benefits too. That’s the magic of plants.
