CFC Tea is an 8-plant respiratory blend—ginger, helichrysum, lavender, lemongrass, marshmallow root, mullein, peppermint, and violet leaf—born from a mother's journey to gently support her child's breathing. It's not a traditional herbalist formula but a personal creation combining warming spices, soothing demulcents, and aromatic mints into one unified intention. Divine Bowls infuses this blend at the molecular level during formation, preserving its structural signature even as volatile compounds transform at over 3,000°F.
Single herbs offer focused action—lavender for calm, peppermint for clarity. CFC Tea's eight plants create layered support: ginger warms while marshmallow soothes, mullein clears while violet coats, peppermint opens while lavender settles. Practitioners reach for this bowl when respiratory work needs gentleness rather than force—seasonal congestion that needs coaxing, chronic shallow breathing that needs patience, or throat chakra blocks rooted in physical tightness. The blend addresses multiple pathways simultaneously without overwhelming.
Teachers and public speakers managing throat fatigue find this bowl restores vocal ease. Parents use it at bedtime when kids are congested—the warmth in the tone settles restless breathing. Breathwork practitioners play it before sessions when clients arrive unable to breathe deeply enough to begin. Athletes in recovery appreciate respiratory support without stimulants. Anyone navigating seasonal stuffiness, morning fog, or the "can't quite catch your breath" feeling that isn't illness but won't quite lift.
This creates an unusual dynamic: the bowl's 404 Hz grounding frequency (below concert pitch) produces settling, anchoring energy, yet resonates in octave 4 where sound vibrates through the head, throat, and sinuses—precisely where CFC Tea's eight plants support respiratory pathways. The result is warmth that rises without agitating, clearing that doesn't overstimulate. Practitioners use this for deep relaxation work where breath needs to open gently, or morning rituals where you want fog to lift without jarring the nervous system awake.
CFC Tea is integrated at the molecular level during formation—waterproof, temperature-stable, and sunlight-safe. The infusion is permanent, not a surface coating that wears away. Clean with water and mild soap; the eight botanical signatures remain intact. The seamless one-piece construction means no weak points—these bowls are built to last lifetimes. The only consideration: like all quartz instruments, avoid sudden temperature extremes (don't move from freezer to boiling water), though normal use presents no concerns.
Yes—the grounding range (below concert pitch) produces warmer, more organic tones that settle into the body rather than floating above it. When paired with CFC Tea's pathway-opening botanicals, this creates a "warmth that doesn't rush" quality. People report their breath deepening without effort, sinuses opening gradually, throat relaxing rather than forcing. The 404 Hz frequency also resonates near the 396 Hz Solfeggio tone associated with releasing fear—useful when shallow breathing stems from held tension, not just physical congestion.
