A Life-Changing Discovery at 60
At 60, I faced a harsh reality: my body was failing. High blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes. Poor circulation. And worst of all, a cancer diagnosis. Doctors didn’t offer much hope beyond medications and endless appointments. I felt like I was slipping away.
Then everything changed — with a simple tea.
This wasn’t a miracle or magic. It was a blend of ingredients I already had in my kitchen: banana peel, poleo mint, and turmeric. A natural, affordable drink that brought my body back to life.
If you’re battling health problems — or just want to strengthen your body naturally — this tea might become your daily lifeline like it became mine.
Why These Ingredients Work
Nature gives us what we need. Each ingredient in this tea carries unique healing properties — but together, they become a powerful combination.
- Banana Peel
Often discarded, banana peels are rich in potassium, magnesium, fiber, and antioxidants. They support:- Blood pressure regulation
- Better circulation
- Kidney function and heart health
- Poleo Mint (Pennyroyal)
A time-tested herb used in traditional medicine. It supports:- Lung and respiratory function
- Liver detoxification
- Soothing digestion
- Turmeric (with Curcumin)
Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps:- Regulate blood sugar
- Combat inflammation
- Support liver health and reduce cancer cell growth in early research
When combined, these ingredients target the root causes of inflammation, poor circulation, and blood sugar imbalance.

Healing Tea Recipe
You don’t need fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. Here’s how to make this at home:
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana peel (washed and chopped)
- 4 fresh poleo mint leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1-inch piece of turmeric root (or 1 tsp ground turmeric)
- 3 cups of filtered water
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients
Wash the banana peel well. Chop the peel and turmeric root into small pieces. Rinse the mint gently. - Boil
In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil. - Simmer
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to extract nutrients. - Strain and Serve
Pour through a strainer. Enjoy warm, or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Optional:
Add a teaspoon of raw honey or a squeeze of lemon for flavor — but avoid sugar to keep the drink medicinal.
How This Tea Helps
This tea isn’t just hydrating — it’s a gentle daily detoxifier. Here’s how it may help your body:
- Supports Kidney & Liver Health
Turmeric and banana peel help reduce internal inflammation, while poleo supports natural detox pathways. - Boosts Circulation
Potassium and anti-inflammatories help improve blood flow, reducing cold extremities and numbness. - Balances Blood Sugar
Turmeric supports insulin sensitivity; banana peel slows sugar absorption. - Lowers Blood Pressure
Potassium and magnesium work naturally to reduce tension in blood vessels. - Clears Lungs & Sinuses
Poleo mint acts as a gentle decongestant and soothes the respiratory system. - Potential Anti-Cancer Support
Curcumin may interfere with inflammatory processes that fuel tumor growth (ongoing research).
How to Use It for Maximum Results
Follow this simple cycle:
- Drink 1 cup every morning on an empty stomach
- Continue daily for 10 days
- Take a 7-day break
- Repeat as desired
Consistency is key. You’re not just drinking tea — you’re rebuilding your body from the inside out.
My Transformation
At first, I was skeptical. But after two weeks, something shifted.
- My blood sugar readings began to stabilize.
- My hands and feet no longer felt icy cold.
- My blood pressure dropped to normal levels.
- I had energy again.
- I began to feel like myself again.
This small change brought me back to life — not overnight, but step by step. The tea didn’t “cure” me. It simply gave my body what it needed to start healing on its own.
Tips for Success
- Use organic ingredients whenever possible
- Make batches ahead of time and refrigerate
- Avoid sugar, processed foods, and fried items during the 10-day cycle
- Listen to your body — reduce turmeric if you experience digestive sensitivity
FAQ
Can I use dried turmeric or poleo?
Yes, 1 tsp of dried turmeric or dried poleo can be used if fresh isn’t available. Just remember: fresh is stronger and more effective.
Is this safe for everyone?
Consult your doctor first, especially if you’re on medications, pregnant, or have liver/kidney issues. Poleo mint should not be used in high doses or during pregnancy.
