Steady | Metabolic Wellness & Glucose Support Herbal Tea

Blood sugar doesn't spike in a vacuum. It spikes when you eat the wrong thing, yes — but also when you're stressed, when you're not sleeping, when your body's natural metabolic rhythm is just a little off. Steady was formulated to support all three angles at once. Six precision herbs. Three distinct traditional mechanisms. One naturally sweet, genuinely grounding cup — best enjoyed before meals.

This is a targeted metabolic wellness blend drawing from Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese, and Western folk herbalism. Every herb in this formula was chosen for a specific, complementary role in supporting healthy metabolic function — not for trend, but for tradition. Naturally sweet from cinnamon and licorice. Warm and aromatic from tulsi. No medicinal bitterness.

The Blend

• Gymnema Sylvestre (Gymnema sylvestre) — The lead herb and the irreplaceable anchor of this formula. Gymnema has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 2,000 years as a premier herb for supporting healthy metabolic function. Traditionally called "Gurmar" — the sugar destroyer — it is valued for its traditional use in supporting the body's natural metabolic response and temporarily influencing sweet taste receptors.
• Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) — True Ceylon cinnamon — not cassia — with a long history of traditional use for supporting healthy metabolic wellness. Naturally sweet and warming, it contributes meaningfully to the flavor while earning its place in the formula on its own merits.
• Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum) — Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Mediterranean herbalism to support healthy digestive function and comfortable post-meal wellness. Fenugreek's soluble fiber content supports gradual, comfortable digestion of carbohydrates.
• Mulberry Leaf (Morus alba) — The most unique herb in this formula. White mulberry leaf contains naturally occurring compounds traditionally used to support healthy carbohydrate metabolism and comfortable post-meal wellness.
• Tulsi (Holy Basil) (Ocimum tenuiflorum) — An adaptogenic herb with a long history in Ayurvedic medicine for supporting the body's healthy response to everyday stress. Stress and cortisol are among the most overlooked factors in metabolic wellness — tulsi addresses this connection directly.
• Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) — A harmonizing adaptogen traditionally used to support healthy adrenal and HPA axis function. Licorice root rounds and sweetens the blend naturally while contributing to the stress-metabolic connection alongside tulsi.

Three-Angle Traditional Approach

• Metabolic & Digestive Support — Gymnema and Ceylon Cinnamon traditionally support healthy metabolic function; Fenugreek and Mulberry Leaf support comfortable carbohydrate digestion
• Stress-Metabolic Connection — Tulsi and Licorice Root address the adrenal and stress-driven factors that affect metabolic wellness
• Whole-System Harmony — All six herbs work together as a traditional metabolic wellness tonic

Flavor Profile

Naturally sweet and warm — Ceylon cinnamon and licorice root give this blend a pleasant natural sweetness without any added sugar. Tulsi adds an aromatic, slightly clove-like warmth. No medicinal bitterness. Genuinely enjoyable as a daily cup, hot or cold-brewed.

How to Brew

Single Cup (Hot): Steep 1–2 tsp in 8 oz just-boiled water, covered, for 12–15 minutes. Traditionally enjoyed 15–20 minutes before meals.

Keep it covered while steeping — the aromatic compounds from tulsi and cinnamon escape with steam.

Cold Brew: 2–3 tbsp per 32 oz cold water, refrigerate 8–10 hours. The natural sweetness from cinnamon and licorice comes through beautifully cold.

Drink 2–3 cups daily. These herbs work cumulatively — consistent daily use over 3–4 weeks is where this blend does its deepest work. Yield: ~10–12 cups per ounce. Caffeine-free. All organic. Small-batch blended by Bald Hill Botanicals & Apothecary.
