Hello there reader, it's Zhenya the Co-Director of PROPPR, an I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, and a Certified Holistic Nutrition & Wellness Consultant.
I've seen firsthand the profound impact gut health has on overall well-being. My passion for helping people achieve optimal digestive health led me to co-own PROPPR toilet stools and develop our latest product: PROPPR-tea.
I've dedicated almost two decades to the health and wellness industry. My mission? Empowering individuals to tune into their bodies, make informed decisions, and live their healthiest lives. I've been fortunate to do all these things for over 17 years both in clinical experience and now here online for anyone who finds their way to us.
Personal Anecdotes
During my time running a colonic and wellness clinic in Sydney, I was constantly searching for the best therapeutic digestive health teas to offer my clients. I found one particular blend that was incredibly effective and I sold it in my clinic for years. In fact I could barely keep it stocked as it sold out so quickly; but unfortunately, the company eventually closed and the tea was no longer available. This experience sparked a desire to create our own line of teas that would provide the same level of support and importantly, taste great!
Introducing PROPPR-tea
PROPPR-tea is a range of hand-blended, organic herbal teas designed to complement your daily gut health routine. Each blend is carefully formulated with specific ingredients to address common digestive concerns.
- MoVE: This tea is designed to assist with constipation or sluggish bowels. It contains Turkish rhubarb, dandelion root, licorice, fennel, and spearmint, which work together to harmonize and improve your digestive system.
- SooTHE: This tea is a calming blend that helps to minimize bloating and support digestion. It features ginger, peppermint, fennel, and licorice, offering anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
The Science Behind the Ingredients
MoVE:
- Turkish Rhubarb: Contains anthraquinone glycosides, which stimulate the muscles in the intestines to promote bowel movements.
- Dandelion Root: Acts as a gentle diuretic and can help to reduce bloating and water retention.
- Licorice Root: Has anti-inflammatory properties and can help to soothe the digestive tract and has a slightly sweet flavour, not like its aniseed flavored cousin found in most candy and lollies.
- Fennel: Contains volatile oils that can help to reduce gas and bloating.
- Spearmint: Has a relaxing effect on the digestive system and can help to relieve nausea and indigestion.
SooTHE:
- Ginger: Has anti-inflammatory and digestive properties that can help to soothe the gastrointestinal tract.
- Peppermint: Contains menthol, which can help to relax the muscles in the digestive system and reduce bloating.
- Fennel: As mentioned above and utilised in our MoVE blend, fennel can help to reduce gas and bloating.
- Licorice Root: In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, licorice can also help to protect the lining of the stomach. It also has a sweet flavor unlike its aniseed flavored cousin.
The Inspiration Behind the PROPPR-tea Blends
When creating PROPPR-tea, I drew inspiration from my years of personal gut health disturbances, my experience working with clients and my own personal journey towards optimal gut health. I wanted to develop digestive teas that were not only effective but also enjoyable to drink.
Both Jac and I are excited to share PROPPR-tea with you and hope that these blends will become a valuable addition to your daily self-care routine. By combining the power of herbs with the knowledge of a gut health expert, I believe PROPPR-tea can help you achieve a happier, healthier gut.
