ST FRANCIS HERB FARM 4 Seasons Detox Kit (1 kit)

Think of it as a seasonal reset in a box, the kind you start on a quiet Sunday with a fresh notebook. The St Francis Herb Farm 4 Seasons Kit bundles four traditional herbal formulas, two tinctures, a fibre powder and a schisandra tea, to help support the body's own natural processes through the lymphatic system, liver, kidneys and bowel. It suits the woman who likes a structured program, since a dietary guide and checklist come in the box.

How to use

Adults. Lymphatic tincture: 5 mL (1 tsp) each morning in a little water on an empty stomach. Kidney tincture: 5 mL (1 tsp) before bedtime in a little water on an empty stomach. Fibre powder: stir 2 tsp into 150 mL of water, milk or juice once daily on an empty stomach and drink immediately; effects may be noticed within 12 to 72 hours, and keep your fluid intake up.
