Discover the Healing Power of Herbal Teas: South Australia's Hidden Treasures Now at OmMade Organic Skincare
As days get shorter, nights get cooler, and we (slowly) begin to embrace the cosy vibes of the winter season, there’s nothing quite as comforting as curling up with a hot cup of herbal tea.
For those of us who love the healing benefits of a good cuppa—one that contains both herbal and aromatic ingredients designed to nourish and nurture the mind, body, and soul, South Australian Hidden Treasures Tea now has a new home with us at OmMade Organic Skincare—available through our website and soon at all three OmMade Meet the Maker stores across SA.
After meeting when they were both studying naturopathy, OmMade founder and owner Tina and Hidden Treasures founder Ellaine discovered a shared love of medicinal herbs and the benefits they can provide inside and out.
With Ellaine living her passion for healing people holistically through her work at her clinic Biophilia Health, it left little time for retailing her beloved herbal tea range. Following Ellaine’s decision to close the tea side of her business, Tina has since taken over the brand, determined to keep these natural and holistic remedies available to the wider community.
“With my Diploma of Health Science (Naturopathy) and experience using medicinal herbs in my @ommadeorganicskincare line, I've long been a devotee of Elliane's special tea blends, recommending them for years to address various health and skin conditions from the inside out”, says Tina.
“Combining these therapeutic teas with my natural skincare products allows me to provide the holistic, whole-body approach at the heart of Naturopathic philosophy.”
With herbal teas becoming a popular addition and contributor to a healthy lifestyle, these 100% organic (sourced from sustainable farms), vegan-friendly, and gluten-free teas are non-evasive yet powerful—giving our body a gentle nudge toward its natural healing mechanisms, supporting mental, physical and emotional balance.
Thought has also gone into the packaging, which is also eco-friendly—the inner bag is home-compostable, and the exterior box is 100% recyclable—ensuring that Mother Nature benefits and is a focus, too.
With eight teas available that have since undergone a slight rebrand after finding their new home, there’s a botanical brew for everyone, designed to soothe, satisfy and work in harmony with your body and guide you toward optimal health and well-being.
