Dried Botanicals - Cornflowers Blue

After many months of searching for dried flowers I stumbled across Essentially Natural's site. What a Blessing. I ordered 3 different types of dried flowers and the service was excellent to say the least. When I opened the Cornflowers the color of the dried flowers were bright and vibrant and true to the pictures color. The packet contained far more dried flowers than I could imagine +- 2 to 3 cups. Keep up the good work you rock.

Wonderful Results!

This is such an incredible tea. I use it, because I have no gallbladder & it also helps me feel less bloated. I'm thinking of using it as a hair rinse, because I'm curious to see what it'll do!
Great value for money, as well.
