Inspiring Conversations with El’keturah Scandrett of Love Herbs Tea

Today we’d like to introduce you to El’keturah Scandrett.

Hi El’keturah, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
How I Started Love Herbs Tea

In 2011, I went on a Carnival cruise vacation, expecting a time of relaxation and enjoyment. One evening during dinner, a waiter served me tap water. Shortly afterward, while visiting the Bahamas, I began feeling sick. At the time, I didn’t understand what was happening, but I knew something was wrong.

When I returned to the United States, my condition rapidly worsened. I became extremely weak, started losing blood, and was eventually admitted to the hospital. In the beginning, doctors struggled to diagnose my illness. Some believed it was traveler’s diarrhea, but deep in my spirit, I knew that the water I had consumed had been contaminated.

After numerous tests and hospital visits, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the large intestine, specifically the colon and rectum.

My health continued to decline. I required more than seven blood transfusions and came dangerously close to losing my life. Doctors prescribed numerous prescription drugs , but instead of feeling better, I felt trapped in a cycle of weakness, pain, fatigue, nausea, and dependence on prescription drugs. My body was breaking down, and mentally and emotionally, I felt exhausted.

In one of the darkest seasons of my life, I cried out to God. I prayed and asked Him to help me, heal me, and show me a way forward because I could not continue living in that condition.

Then something remarkable happened.

God gave me a vision to blend rosemary, yarrow, basil, and thyme together and drink them as a tea. In faith, I followed that vision. I remained consistent, treating the herbal blend as part of my daily wellness routine. Over time, I began experiencing improvements that I had not found through the treatments I had previously relied on. The persistent bleeding that had caused so much suffering began to stop, and I was able to move away from many of the prescription drugs that had left me feeling depleted.

One of the most difficult parts of my journey was feeling misunderstood. As my health improved through the lifestyle changes and herbal practices that became part of my daily routine, some medical professionals were skeptical when I shared my experience. At times, I felt dismissed or that my testimony was not taken seriously.

Over time, I came to understand that conventional medicine and natural wellness often approach healing from different perspectives. While many doctors are dedicated to helping their patients, my personal experience led me to explore a path that combined faith, prayer, and herbal wellness. What I found along that journey strengthened my belief that God provides resources in nature that can support the body in remarkable ways.

My faith became the foundation of my healing journey. One scripture that deeply encouraged me was Revelation 22:2:

“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”

This verse reminded me that God created the earth with purpose and provision. For me, herbs were not simply plants, they were part of God’s creation and a symbol of His care and compassion. Through prayer, faith, and consistency, I found hope during one of the darkest seasons of my life.

That experience became the inspiration behind my business, Love Herbs Tea.

The name carries a special meaning. “Love” represents God’s love and the vision He gave me during my time of need. “Herbs” represents the natural plants that became part of my healing journey. And “Tea” represents the solution that brought comfort, hope, and restoration to my life.

What began as a personal journey soon became a mission to help others. Through Love Herbs Tea, I have shared my passion for herbal wellness with many people seeking healthier lifestyles and natural support for their overall well-being. My story is not just about tea, it’s about faith, love, and finding purpose through one of life’s greatest challenges.

Today, every cup of Love Herbs Tea reminds me that even in our most difficult moments, hope and love can still be found, healing can begin, and purpose can emerge from pain.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, it has not been a smooth road at all. In fact, it was one of the most difficult seasons of my life.

One of my greatest struggles was the physical toll that ulcerative colitis took on my body. I underwent more than seven blood transfusions due to severe blood loss and often found myself in and out of hospitals. There were days when I felt so weak that simply getting through the day seemed impossible.

The illness also affected my personal life. I had to isolate myself from friends and family because I always needed to stay close to a restroom. Many times, I couldn’t participate in social activities or enjoy the simple things that most people take for granted. It was frustrating, embarrassing, and emotionally draining.

Pain became a constant part of my daily life. I would wake up in pain and go to sleep in pain. Most days, all I wanted was to stay in my bed because my body was exhausted from the ongoing battle. The physical suffering was difficult, but the emotional and mental challenges were equally overwhelming.

There were moments when I felt discouraged and wondered if things would ever get better. However, through faith, prayer, perseverance, and determination, I continued moving forward. Looking back now, I realize that every struggle strengthened my faith and prepared me for the purpose God had planned for my life.

Although the journey was extremely rough, it ultimately inspired the creation of Love Herbs Tea and gave me a testimony that I now share to encourage others who may be facing their own health challenges.
