I've been buying these from here for a long time and have zero complaints. My order always arrives quickly and these have helped so much with anxiety. I took them every day for quite a while, but stopped when life calmed down for me a bit and didn't need them. Recent work stress has been making me feel more anxious than I'd like so I ordered some more and I feel more relaxed. Great brand, great product. Thank you.
Excellent product simple to order and competitive price, always go back as you always have what I am looking for
This drink is delicious and refreshing, and the best thing about it is that it levels out your blood sugar levels 😋. Try it!
Your tea is wonderful and refreshing.
What more can I say!!
Superb.
If you were to buy your protein powder from Holland and Barrett you will see on the packaging it is made in China. How is quality control carried out?
I trust Natural health market a small family run business run by clean nutritious food enthusiasts who source locally. You choose which supplier to trust!
The package arrived quickly and in good order. The turmeric has a nice mellow and gentle flavour, some products can taste quite powerful and synthetic but this has a gentle earthiness. Also loved my bonus peppermint tea bags!
A friend recommended this because she said she's been drinking it every day for years and hasn't been ill since. Unfortunately that hasn't worked for me but I'm not as religious about taking it. I do feel maybe I'm sick for less time since I've been drinking it reasonably regularly.... Another friend of mine loves it and I've just bought her a packet.
Your Hemp tea is sublime.
I am thoroughly enjoying.
Thank you so very much.
I plan to investigate/sample other teas in the very near future.
Thank you
Love these - great flavour as always from Natural Health
Ginger is a natural anti inflammatory so I like to drink this tea to help when ever needed, in particular for my digestive system & sinus inflammation. I particularly like that these are organic & are not mixed with other flavours. Although I don't drink these regularly I feel confident & comforted that I can rely on these quality organic ginger tea bags.
Fast delivery, high quality, recommend
These ginger tea bags are fantastic! The flavor is warm and spicy, perfect for soothing the stomach and relaxing any time of day. No bitterness, just a pure, refreshing ginger taste. Highly recommend for ginger lovers!
A friend recommended these to help combat the effects of radiotherapy and I am very pleased to say they are also delicious.
Really good product, this is my third time ordering it. Service is fantastic too, convenient packaging for initial purchase (buying the tin) and subsequent refill packs
