* Your Health * Your Happiness * Your Wisdom Why should you use a Bombilla StrainerStraw for your medicinal herbs and tea preparations? Tradition. Centuries ago the Guarani Indians of Paraguay received bombillas from the Incas in exchange for sharing their knowledge of herbal medicine. The bombilla was an important technological advance at the time and artists made many beautiful ones with silver, gold and precious jewels. Health Benefits. The bombilla delivers more of the healing benefits of your herbal preparation because the herbs continue to steep while you drink and the sucking action causes more of the nutrients to be absorbed directly through the lining in the mouth and assimilated immediately into the bloodstream. Economics. With the Bombilla StrainerStraw you save money by purchasing loose tea instead of more expensive tea bags. The Wisdom of the Ancients Bombilla StrainerStraw is a good investment that will last for many years. Pleasure. There are few finer pleasures in the tea experience than enjoying Wisdom of the Ancients YerbaMate or YerbaMate Royale with Stevia through a Bombilla StrainerStraw. Drink with a friend and share the Wisdom!
