About Lydia
Lydia- God is in the Tea-tales started during a difficult time in my life. I saw family and friends that were sick and was given prescription drugs to deal with side effects but not the solution to a problem. As I would try to take care of my physical and mental health, I would go to the woods to hike. I would read my bible and speak to God in the journey. Things started to change. I started to notice the trees, plants and mushrooms began to look brighter, smell differently. Eventually I would dive into studying each flower, mushroom and herb to do research to find out what these beautiful "weeds" and "dangerous mushrooms" were. Eventually, I would find that these "weeds" and "dangerous mushrooms" had lots of medicinal properties and were actually used as medicine and food in many cultures in different parts of the world, especially ones with less illness and longevity of life. I began to use these God given medicine and incorporate it in my food for myself and my family. After a short time, I noticed pain was going away. Family who once had to get injections for pain was no longer needed. Ganglion cysts were gone with no prescription medication or surgery. I believe God has provided everything we need to live and sustain a healthy mind, body and spirit. I am not a doctor and do not give medical advice. Sources such as US National Library of Medicine show that our current medicines are derived from mushrooms, herbs and even tree bark. Other cultures such as Traditional Chinese medicine, India, Africa etc. use herbs, mushrooms and roots for medicinal properties and longevity of life. Why does that stop with us? I offer wellness products and wellness coaching.
