Herbal Teas are King

Here at Baldwin’s we think the human body should be treated with respect it deserves. Of course drinking in moderation, eating well and choosing walking over jumping in the car are vital to this cause, but there is one area that we feel is often overlooked. It seems harmless enough, but as people often have up to a 6 a day habit, caffeine no longer become harmless.

We are thrilled to be able to offer an healthy alternative, we think of them a little bit like the nicotine patches for smokers! Our herbal tea bags are natural and good for you and the smell is just heavenly.


Enjoy working your way through our selection, it will take you a while! Each week endeavour to seek out a new flavour. A particular favourite of ours is Dr Stuarts Apple And Ginger Tea, and despite initial reservations, we must say our Wild Fennel Tea Bags are particularly toothsome too!


So we urge all those heavy coffee drinkers out there to throw down those instant granules, and stock up on delicious organic herbal teas. There are even particular flavours that are good for all your internal organs and digestion. Mint tea for example can do wonders for the digestive tract. We are always interested in hearing feedback though. Can anyone recommend other flavours to try? Have you found common ailments magically disappear?

The Big Chill

No, I’m not referring to winter, but to the need to chill out and wind down. Is it just me, or is it getting more and more difficult to find time to simply relax and switch off?

I’m one of those people who always remembers something I ought to be doing, so as soon as I sit down a huge list entitled ‘items you should have done three days ago’ pops into my head...hopeless when all I want is to chill for a few moments. What I really need is something to take my mind off my ‘action list’ (and to stop being such a control freak, but that’s another matter altogether!).


And that’s where Baldwins aromatherapy products come into their own. Not only do they give me the chance to pamper myself, but the intoxicating perfumes have a way of meandering through my olfactory system into my brain and giving my action list a good talking to! No, I’ve no idea how it works – it just does.

The essential oils in aromatherapy are so relaxing that it’s pretty near impossible not to fall under their spell. If you’ve used aromatherapy to help you relax, deal with particular periods of stress in your life, or even illness – tell us your story.
