<p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/herbal-tea" target="_blank">Herbal tea</a> is sometimes overlooked as a wellness essential, yet it’s actually been working its magic for centuries. Thankfully, brands like Traditional Medicinals understand the potential healing powers of herbs, using them to craft plant-based remedies anyone can enjoy at home. With three generations of herbalism expertise to draw from, a deep <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/social/sustainably-farmed" target="_blank">commitment to sustainability</a>, and a mission to give back, this trailblazing tea brand has staying power (over 30 years to be exact). Here’s how Traditional Medicinals powers up every cup. </p>

<h2>The History of Traditional Medicinals</h2>

<p>Dating back to 1974, Traditional Medicinals is the brainchild of a third-generation herbalist named Rosemary Gladstar. Gladstar, who was raised on the farmlands of North Carolina, met activist and environmentalist Drake Sadler in 1960. The couple went on to launch Traditional Medicinals, helping to reignite a wider appreciation of herbalism in the process. </p>

<h2>Traditional Medicinals Company Mission</h2>

<p>Traditional Medicinals is rooted in centuries-old wisdom that centers on “connecting people with the power of plants.” The company considers itself a pioneer in the <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/wellness-tea" target="_blank">wellness tea category</a> and holds every one of its herbal product formulations to high standards for quality, sustainability, and efficacy. </p>

<h2>Benefits of Traditional Medicinals</h2>
