Our Savvy Organic Shopper likes to keep her pantry stocked with simple home remedies, just in case she or one of her family members feels under the weather. Among the items she always tries to have on hand is tea for sore throats. Her stock was running low, though, so she went to Whole Foods Market in Friendship Heights, MD to boost her supply. While there, she found a box of Traditional Medicinals organic lemon Echinacea tea for $4.99. The conventional equivalent was $3.99. Although the organic tea was slightly more expensive, she knew it was grown and processed without the use of toxic chemicals. So, she grabbed a box, feeling confident that it would not only soothe a sore throat, but also help support her family’s overall health and well-being.
