The Story behind Matula Tea
The story begins with Doc Grouse, a private individual who prefers to stay out of the spotlight. His focus has always been simple, help people explore natural ways to support their digestive health.
In the mid-1970s, he moved from Europe to Africa. There, he spent years studying wild plants and how local communities used them for everyday health support.
Many modern products trace their origins back to traditional plant use. Doc Grouse focused on learning directly from these practices and documenting how different plants were prepared and combined.
A Pioneer on a Mission
Doc Grouse focused on plant combinations that were not widely known. He avoided copying existing formulas. Instead, he worked to document and refine what he observed.
Before sharing any formula, he arranged independent testing to review safety and properties under controlled conditions.
Matula Tea reflects this approach. It is a clinically researched herbal formula developed from years of field study and testing.
A Walk in the Mountains
In 1999, during a walk with traditional healers in a remote mountain region, Doc Grouse noticed several green plants used for digestive discomfort.
The healers explained how these plants were combined in specific ratios. Each plant had a role based on long-standing local use.
Over time, he visited more remote areas and collected samples. He recorded how each plant was prepared and when it was harvested.
A Time to Start Helping Others
He dried and blended the plants based on these notes. He first tested the tea himself to observe tolerance and daily use.
After consistent use over several weeks, he began sharing the tea with a small group who reported digestive discomfort.
Many people shared positive feedback about their experience. These early observations encouraged further refinement of the formula.
In the beginning – the first trials…..
Early use included friends and family members who were looking for additional digestive support. Several reported improved comfort during and after the 30-day program.
Word spread through personal referrals. More people asked to try the program and shared their own experiences.
These are personal accounts. Individual results vary. We encourage testing as part of tracking your progress. Consult your healthcare provider.
A Time to get Scientific Proof
To better understand the formula, independent laboratory research was arranged at the University of Stellenbosch.
Professor Patrick JD Bouic PhD conducted controlled testing on the herbal blend.
Independent laboratory research by Prof. Patrick Bouic PhD showed the formula’s properties in controlled testing, including properties relevant to H. pylori support.
Based on customer feedback and long-term use, the program is offered with a money-back guarantee. You also receive free support throughout your program and beyond.

Where does Matula Tea come from?
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to thousands of plant species. Many of these plants have been used for generations in traditional practices focused on digestive wellness.
Local communities developed plant-based preparations through observation and repeated use. This knowledge passed through generations.
In the days when there were no doctors…
People relied on local plants and shared knowledge. Over time, specific preparation methods became widely used within communities.
These practices influenced modern research into plant compounds. Many current products trace back to these early uses.
Most preparations used leaves, stems, and flowers. These were dried, blended, and prepared as infusions.
Why a liquid Tea infusion, and not pills?
A tea infusion allows the herbs to mix directly with water. This creates a simple way to consume the blend.
Many people prefer tea because it is easy to prepare and fits into a daily routine. You can drink it at set times each day without needing additional steps.
Consistency matters. Taking the tea twice daily helps you stay on track with the full 30-day program.

Sincerely grateful for your help!!!*
I spoke with you on the phone about 4 weeks ago. I’m the one who wasn’t sure if I took the tea properly because I had cereal at night sometimes before taking the tea. I thought I was going to need to re-take the 30-day course, but you encouraged me to go ahead and send in a stool sample to BioHealth Diagnostics (to who I had sent my first stool sample) to see if I really needed to repeat the course or not. Well, I did and the results thankfully came back negative for h.pylori!! I was so excited to get the news, and I told you I would let you know what happened so I hope you get this note!!! I am sincerely grateful for your help!!!*

Blenheim, USAThey were skeptical… I am delighted! *
I am delighted to say the result of my HpSA test was negative. I noticed while I was taking the Matula for the month of Dec/January that I did not wake up once in the night. *
I would love to know what that ingredient was that gave me such wonderful sleep. I usually wake up around 3-3/30 AM and can’t get back to sleep for nearly 2 hours. *
Some of my friends were very skeptical and some were downright scoffing. I am really enjoying telling them the results. Drinking the tea was certainly no problem at all and so much better than the dreaded antibiotics. *
Thank you again *

NY, USAYour Matula Tea really worked… *
Four months ago, I contacted you regarding how to treat my H. pylori and Barret Esophagus. I want to thank you for your advice. *
I had the Stool antigen test 2 months ago and it was negative. Now I feel a big difference in my health. I have experienced a big relief with my stomach and health. *
Your Matula tea really worked. After I finished Matula, I complimented your therapy with Rhubarb root and goldenseal taken separately for a month twice a day. I had highly resistant bacteria. I truly believe this was a wonderful way of ending the treatment to get cured. I want to share it with you and express again my appreciation for your treatment and advice. *
I wish you lots of health and fulfillment in your life. *

CanadaGreat information – thank you! *
I can’t thank you enough for all the information you have sent my way. It’s better than any office visit I ever had with a doctor. Your reports are easy to read and are extremely informative and helpful. The best part is that I can go back and read them again*
I chose your program, because I believe in natural healing, rather than using a medication, which I feel does nothing but mask the problem. *
Along with healing gastric erosion/ulcers, I am also treating candida overgrowth, which I need to heal as well since most of my trouble started after being on antibiotics earlier this year. Thank You! *
Rose M.
United StatesYou saved my husband’s health, and indeed his life… *
In 2006, after suffering what he thought was heartburn and acid reflux for months and months, my husband Neil developed an extremely foul odor that and seemed to come from deep inside his throat. What was most concerning to us was that it smelled like old or rotted blood. We were worried! We saw a Gastroenterologist who immediately ordered an endoscopy.*
We were told there was no cure….*
After the procedure, the doctor approached me with a very concerned look on his face. He showed me photographs of my husband’s esophagus – black spots and ulcers covered a large part of his esophagus. My heart was in my throat when the doctor said that my husband had Barret’s Disease, a pre-cancerous condition of the esophagus. He told us that there was no cure, but that Neil could treat the symptoms with medication and a modification of his diet; he went on to say that hopefully, that would keep cancer at bay, along with the array of symptoms he was suffering.*
…there suddenly appeared a glimmer of hope…*
We filled the expensive prescription and my husband made peace with the idea of taking it for the rest of his life. I was not satisfied with that and decided to do a little research on what causes ulcers. I learned about the H-pylori virus and how it does not respond to antibiotic treatment. I was beginning to lose hope when there suddenly appeared a glimmer of hope … a tea found only in Africa. *
….it seemed too good to be true….*
Wild and extraordinary claims were made about this tea and its miraculous results. At first, it seemed too good to be true. Drink this stuff called Matula tea two times a day and you kill the virus responsible for many of the problems Neil had, so, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, we decided to give it a try.*
…he decided not to take the medication he had been prescribed…*
For one month Neil drank the tea religiously and ate a reasonable diet. It should be noted that during this “experiment” he decided not to take the medication he had been prescribed – the Matula tea we ordered would be his only course of care*
The condition of Neil’s esophagus was so serious that at the time of his first endoscopy, the doctor ordered a follow-up endoscopy to determine whether Neil’s condition was getting worse and would require any kind of surgical intervention. We strategically scheduled the follow-up endoscopy so that it would take place within days of Neil’s completion of his “30-day Matula Tea Treatment.”*
It had been just weeks since his first procedure revealed a black esophagus with ulcers eating away at it…*
Approximately six weeks later, and with a pronounced sense of worry, and a doom and gloom prognosis possibly hanging in the balance. Neil was sedated and taken in for his second endoscopy. It had been just weeks since his first procedure revealed a black esophagus with ulcers eating away at it. I waited nervously, but this time I waited with a sense of hope and curiosity.*
Now…there was nothing to find!*
Within an hour, I was ushered back to see my groggy husband, soon after that, the doctor appeared. Dr. S. had a puzzled look on his face and was clearly a little bewildered and befuddled as he announced that when they went in to explore my husband’s throat and check on the status of the bleeding and ulcers – there was nothing to find! *
…esophagus as clean and new as the day he was born…*
He went on to say that, not only was there no sign of black spots, ulcers, or bleedings, but that Neil’s esophagus was as pink and healthy as a newborn baby’s. Yes, believe it or not, it was as clean and new as the day he was born! I gushed with pride, relief, and amazement. It was a miracle, and lucky for us, we had the photographs to prove it. We told the doctor about Matula Tea and since then, we tell everyone we know who complains about acid reflux, ulcers, or worse yet, Barret’s disease, that they need to give this tea a try and see what it will do for them.
…you saved my husband’s health, and indeed his life..*
As for us, we are eternally grateful and want to send a deeply felt thank you to the good people who manufacture Matula Tea – you saved my husband’s health, and indeed his life. We now do a Matula Tea cleanse once a year as maintenance, in order to kill off any of the virus that finds its way into our system through the food we eat and the polluted water we all drink.*
We’re enjoying good health and wonderful life, and we owe much of that to Matula Tea, so thank you again! *
Neil & Leea Winter
Dunedin, FL USAH. pylori was gone… in only one month! *
I am honored and excited to write to you today to inform you that your Matula Tea has, indeed, cured me of my H. pylori … in only one month! * It has allowed me to not have to utilize any conventional antibiotics which, as we both know, can be grossly detrimental to patients, like myself, that have a Candidiasis history. *
I must thank you most generously and deeply for your absolute dedication to the formulation of Matula Tea, and the sincere, keen, and professional support you have afforded me through the administering of the treatment. Your deep sincerity is becoming too rare these days. Please take this as a heartfelt accolade to you. *
