FAIRFIELD, CT - A hot cup of tea on a chilly autumn day can do more than just comfort and warm you. Many teas are full of medicinal properties that can provide support to help enhance the immune system, detoxify the body, stimulate the digestive process, calm the nerves, and more. Dr. Andrew Cummins and Dr. Mara Davidson, naturopathic physicians at the Shalva Clinic in Westport, will present a program about the benefits various herbal teas offer. Join us for this Wellness program on Tuesday, October 18 at 7:00 pm in the Rotary Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road. Registration is requested.
