Bloodroot Herb Shop is the clinical herbalist-led apothecary and tea house that Alex Crofoot opened in Ypsilanti, Michigan, in 2022, and these are its herbal teas. Like the shop’s tinctures and other herbal goods, each tea is thoughtfully formulated for practical, everyday wellness.
Each tea is named for the need behind it, from stress and sleep to digestion, the cold season, the menstrual cycle, and pregnancy and postpartum. The Shop By Need filter narrows the list.
Every purchase supports Bloodroot’s educational programs, its donation-based Community Care Clinic and its community-based work.
Bloodroot’s herbal teas are intended to support general health and wellness and to complement, not replace, appropriate medical care. For personalized guidance, book a herbal consultation.
Questions About Bloodroot’s Herbal Teas
Which Bloodroot herbal tea is for sleep?
The Dreamer is the Bloodroot herbal tea named for sleep and relaxation, and Surrender is the calming tea named for stress, the luteal phase and muscle tension. When sleep trouble comes with other concerns, a herbal consultation with clinical herbalist Alex Crofoot looks at the bigger picture, not just one symptom.
Are herbal teas safe during pregnancy or with medication?
Herbs call for additional considerations if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or chestfeeding, taking prescription medication, or managing a medical condition. The Steward is named for pregnancy, postpartum, menstruation and iron; before drinking it or any other herbal tea in those situations, talk with your licensed medical provider and consider a herbal consultation, which includes a review of your medications and potential herb-drug interactions.
Can I get a custom herbal tea blend?
Yes. Custom tea blends are available through Bloodroot’s herbal consultations, where clinical herbalist Alex Crofoot looks at your health history, current concerns, medications, lifestyle and goals before recommending herbs. Custom formulas are priced separately from the consultation, and current prices are listed on the Herbal Consultations page.
