Okay, real talk. A few months ago, my life was this chaotic jumble of stress, bad sleep, and feeling kind of… meh. You know that sluggish, “I’m running on empty” vibe? Yeah, that. I was desperate for a reset but not about to dive into some intense cleanse that would have me starving or buzzing off caffeine. I wanted something that felt easy, something that felt me, you know? Like a friend whispering, “You got this” instead of a drill sergeant yelling, “Drop and give me 50!”
Then I met Urban Natural Wellness. A friend of mine, someone who always seems to be glowing no matter what, nudged me toward Michelle’s teas. “Girl, you have to try Michelle’s teas,” she said, eyes sparkling like she just discovered gold. At first, I was skeptical—because, honestly, I’ve tried my fair share of teas that taste like grassy water and do nothing but make me pee a lot. But this? This was different.
Detox: The Chill, Non-Drama Cleanse
So first up, the Detox tea. Now, when I hear “detox,” I picture one of those crazy juice fasts where you basically live off kale and tears for a week. No thanks. I’ve done that once—okay, maybe twice—and it was like my body and soul staged a full-on rebellion. Not fun.
Michelle’s Detox blend is like the gentle hug your body didn’t even know it needed. It’s got these cool herbs like burdock root and dandelion—things that sound like they belong in a wizard’s potion but actually help your liver, kidneys, and digestion do their thing better. And the best part? It tastes good. Like, really good. Earthy and smooth, but not bitter or weird.
I started drinking it in the mornings. Just a cozy cup while scrolling through my phone (guilty pleasure) or during a quiet moment with my playlist on. No crazy side effects. Just this smooth, earthy flavor and a surprisingly nice way to kickstart my day.
After a couple of weeks, my skin started to clear up — no joke. I’m talking fewer breakouts, less redness, and this new glow that wasn’t there before. My digestion? Let’s just say bloating became a rare visitor. Energy levels felt steadier too, no more midday crashes that had me reaching for snacks or caffeine. Honestly, it felt like I was telling my body, “Hey, I got your back,” without having to overhaul my whole life.
What I love most about this Detox tea is how it respects your body. It’s not about pushing you to extremes or making you feel deprived. It’s more like a supportive friend who shows up with a green smoothie and says, “Let’s take care of ourselves today.” It works with your natural rhythms, which means it’s safe to sip regularly—no need to panic if you forget a day or two.
What Makes These Herbs So Special?
I had to dive deeper because I’m a curious person. Why do these herbs even do what they do? Burdock root, for instance, has been used for centuries to purify blood and support the liver. It’s like the body’s internal cleaner-upper. Dandelion is another superstar—it supports the liver and kidneys to flush out toxins and also helps with digestion and inflammation. Nettle? Packed with vitamins and minerals that nourish your body while flushing out waste. And red clover? It helps your lymphatic system—the body’s natural drainage network—to function smoothly.
Together, these herbs create a symphony that gently supports your whole system without drama. It’s detoxing without the drama.
Goodnight Moon: The Sleep Savior You Didn’t Know You Needed
Now, let’s talk about the other star of the show: Goodnight Moon. If you’re anything like me, bedtime isn’t always a peaceful, serene transition into dreamland. Sometimes it’s more like a battle royale with my thoughts, my to-do list, and that annoying itch to check Instagram one last time.
This tea came to the rescue on those nights when my brain decided to run marathons instead of letting me sleep. I’m talking about that magical cup of calm that makes you go from “Why can’t I sleep?” to “Ahhhh, finally.”
This tea isn’t some sleepy-time junk that knocks you out cold with nasty chemicals or leaves you feeling groggy. Nope. It’s all about gentle relaxation—the kind that tucks you in and whispers, “It’s okay to rest now.” It’s like your personal bedtime coach, only way nicer.
Michelle crafted this blend with herbs that soothe your nerves and calm your mind. Just the smell alone is like a warm, cozy blanket for your senses. After sipping it, I felt my body let go of tension, and within minutes, I was drifting off way faster than usual.
And here’s the best part: I woke up feeling refreshed, not groggy or foggy. If you’ve ever tried “sleep aids” that leave you feeling like a zombie, you’ll know why this is a total win.
Why These Teas Work So Well Together
Here’s the cool part: these two teas feel like a natural wellness duo for the 24-hour cycle. Detox in the morning to clear the slate, energize, and support your body’s natural functions. Goodnight Moon in the evening to unwind, calm the nervous system, and help you drift peacefully into restorative sleep.
It’s like having a little wellness ritual that wraps your whole day in care—from sunrise to sleep.
Why I’m Crushing on Urban Natural Wellness
What really gets me about this brand is the story behind it. Michelle isn’t just some corporate CEO pushing products from a high tower. She’s a mom, a fighter, and someone who really knows what it means to heal.
Her story is honestly the kind of inspiration we all need. Diagnosed with lupus in 2013, doctors told her carrying more children would be dangerous. That could have been a hard stop. But Michelle leaned into faith, nature, and ancestral knowledge. She started studying herbalism not just to heal herself but to help others too. Now, thriving as a mother of five and herbalist extraordinaire, she’s built Urban Natural Wellness as a living testament to hope and healing.
That means every blend feels personal, crafted with real care and experience. You’re not just buying tea—you’re joining a little family of folks who believe healing should be simple, honest, and totally doable.
Plus, Michelle is big on teaching. When you buy from Urban Natural Wellness, you’re not left guessing how the herbs work or why you need them. There’s this whole vibe of empowering you to understand your body better, so you feel confident in your healing journey.
How I Roll with These Teas
I’m not a tea snob. Honestly, I don’t always brew with perfect timing or fancy kettles. Sometimes, I just toss a bag in a mug, pour hot water, and sip while pretending I’m in one of those serene ads where everything’s slow and perfect.
But here’s what I love:
- A morning Detox cup to start feeling fresh and clear-headed.
- An evening Goodnight Moon cup to wind down and say “bye” to stress.
Simple rituals that actually stick because they feel good—not like a chore.
I also love sharing this little routine with friends. A few have told me they’ve noticed their skin clearing up, or that they finally slept well after years of tossing and turning. That kind of feedback makes me feel like I’m not alone in this, and that we’re all finding little moments of calm and care in the madness.
Who Would Love These Teas?
If you’re nodding along thinking, “Yes, that sounds like me,” you’re probably the perfect candidate. Especially if you’re:
- Over feeling drained and want gentle support
- Sick of toxic cleanses that make you miserable
- Done with tossing and turning at night
- Curious about herbal remedies but don’t want to get lost in complicated stuff
- Looking for a little more TLC in your day
The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
One thing I’ve learned on this herbal journey is that healing isn’t about massive, earth-shattering changes overnight. It’s about the little things that add up—the daily cup of tea, the moment of mindfulness, the act of choosing something nourishing.
Urban Natural Wellness teas feel like a small kindness you give yourself every day, a reminder that you’re worth the time, love, and care.
Final Thoughts (aka Let’s Be Real)
Urban Natural Wellness isn’t about miracle cures or “one sip fixes all.” It’s about showing up for yourself in small but meaningful ways. It’s about sipping on history, healing, and hope.
So, if you want to try something that feels like a little gift to your body—without the weird detox drama or knocking yourself out to sleep—these teas might just be what you didn’t know you needed.
Give them a go, and maybe you’ll find yourself looking forward to your tea time just like I do now.
Cheers to feeling good, sleeping well, and sipping happy!
