Aquarius tea. Kid A

Kid A is an herbal tea blended for the Aquarius archetype. The name is inspired by the song and album of the same name by Radiohead. And I think it has Aquarian vibes.

Spearmint, gotu kola, passion flower, horsetail, linden, fennel, ginger, ladies mantle and lavender come together to support the Aquarius archetype.

This fixed, air sign is the second to last sign of the zodiac and the water-bearer often makes a splash bringing unconventional zest and electrifying ideas to the revolutionary cause of their choice! While aquarians might seek the fringes and be inclined toward adopting extraordinary solutions and circumstances, they are ruled by Saturn and deeply bound to a dogmatic approach to life that may well come off as traditional in the face of their singular pursuits.

Electrical Aquarius rules the long bones of the legs, calves, ankles and Achilles tendons. This cold, wintery (northern hemisphere) sign also rules electrical impulses of the nerves, cellular respiration and the rods and cones of the eyes. That’s a lot of continual communication in the body that these saturn-ruled, nonconforming oddballs must manage. When I picture aquarian forces in the body I see all the tender membranes, whose necessarily porous surfaces are closely governed by the relentless cascade of electrical impulses moving in, out, around and contained within them. All that held in the hands of some long legged extraterrestrial trekker on the surface of the moon. That’s my visualization of the Aquarius archetype!

So we employed the perky, aromatic, warming spearmint to keep the senses alert, gotu kola to increase circulation to cold extremities, support the nervous system and brain, passion flower to sooth an overworked nervous system, horsetail to reinforce those long bones of the Aquarian legs and ankles, linden to ease the heart and anger for the inevitable patience it takes when people don’t agree with you, the lovely digestive carminatives in ginger, fennel and lavender work together to warm up and support gassy stomach issues. And finally, one of the most profound water-bearing plants I’ve seen, the lovely ladies mantle.
