Could it be that sharing yerba with each other is part of the answer? Can it be that sitting down with each other and finally having the difficult conversations we have been avoiding will heal us. Could it be that we are finally ready to put time together as a priority rather than a luxury? 

Yerba Mate helps with detox. Like most xanthines, it is a mild diuretic.  It also promotes a healthy colon by softening any “backup” that is in there, but also stimulating normal peristalsis.

Yerba Mate is not new to the scene. It has a rich history and dozens of research studies have been done to discover all the health benefits it has.

Taking those extra two minutes to do this will add mindfulness, stillness and clarity to your day.
