What is Matula Tea?
Matula tea is an organic, wild herbal tea from South Africa that has strong anti-bacterial properties.
In fact, scientific studies have shown Matula Tea to be effective against:
- 98% of the eradication of all strains of H. pylori (helicobacter pylori)
- 93% of Candida albicans (1)
- Ulcers
- Barrett’s esophagus
- Acid reflux
All of these can stem from an H. pylori bacterial infection.
Additionally, Matula Tea has been used to address:
Moreover, Matula tea has successfully treated various ailments associated with the Oesophagus, Stomach and Duodenum.
The best part? The anti-bacterial effectiveness against H. pylori was tested at 50% concentration (1 cup of Matula Tea per day), and was 93% effective. By increasing the dosage to 2 cups of Matula Tea per day, can you imagine the kind of results?

How to Use Matula Tea
The recommended usage of Matula tea is 2 cups per day on an empty stomach for 30 days. This equals 60 dosages. Directions are simple:
- First, bring filtered water to boil.
- Place one matula tea sachet in a cup/mug and pour boiling water into the cup. Note: you may add 1/2 tsp of Manuka honey for additional flavor (4).
- You can swirl the tea in your mouth before swallowing.
Matula tea has quite an enjoyable taste, as well, which makes it a great herbal remedy.
It is recommended to drink Matula tea slowly in the morning ½ an hour before breakfast and at night either ½ an hour before dinner or 1 hour after dinner.
As Matula tea is in liquid form, it can easily reach, cover, and saturate the infected area of the stomach lining. This allows sufficient time to eliminate the H. Pylori bacteria and more. (2)

In fact, scientific studies have shown it to be 98% effective against the eradication of all strains of H. pylori (helicobacter pylori). In addition, it also has strong anti-candida properties. Find authentic Matula tea here.
Q: What happens if H. pylori is left untreated?
A: To be clear, if H. pylori is left untreated it could potentially lead to chronic gastritis, ulcers, acid reflux, Gerd and more. However, keep in mind that most people are asymptomatic with H. pylori infection, meaning they have no symptoms. This means, if you have no symptoms, you have a choice to treat or not. If symptomatic consider natural treatment options first, like Matula Tea which has a money back guarantee.
Q: What else kills H. pylori Bacteria?
A: Some well studied ways to kill H. pylori bacteria include: green tea, Matula Tea, broccoli sprouts, cabbage juice, garlic, coconut, Manuka honey, etc. For a full list of foods, beverages and natural supplements to kill H. pylori check out my H. pylori Free Naturally Ebook.
Q: Does Matula Tea Work for H. pylori?
A: To eradicate H. pylori, my favorite tea is Matula tea. For me, Matula tea worked on the first try, along with a comprehensive natural H. pylori elimination protocol. Indeed, I am a trained functional nutritionist and also did a complete personalized H. pylori elimination protocol as a result of my GIMAP. The natural elimination protocol, which included Matula tea, was personalized and comprehensive. Subsequently, I outlined the complete H. pylori elimination protocol in my H. pylori Free Naturally Ebook. Moreover, I coach and support clients in natural H. pylori elimination in my monthly Gut Health Academy Membership. Results: *95% elimination rate if the protocol is done correctly, gallbladder health is addressed and the protocol is long enough.
Q: Can you get rid of H. pylori naturally?
A: Yes, it is 100% possible. I know this because I did it myself. In light of this, I coach clients on how to do the same. For more information, check out my coaching services, like Gut Health Academy and my H. pylori Free Naturally Ebook. Furthermore, a recent 2020 study suggests “the [antibiotic] resistance rate of H. pylori has increased.” Triple and quad treatment are most often ineffective against H. pylori. These protocols can make your digestive issues worse, not better. Always start with a natural H. pylori elimination protocol first and work with a trained practitioner to ensure you properly address drainage pathways, immune system function and adrenal health. Natural treatments, including probiotics, broccoli sprouts, mastic gum and Matula tea, reduce and eliminate the H. pylori bacteria in your stomach. You also have to eliminate the H. pylori in the gallbladder to fully eliminate it.
Q: How do you get H. pylori bacteria in your stomach?
A: Modern science does not know exactly why some people get H. pylori bacteria and others don’t. Therefore, it is hypothesized that H. pylori is spread via saliva, unsanitary drinking water or even tap water. The research also mentions that H. pylori rates are higher in developing countries. However, it can also reach your stomach by improperly cooked foods, high stress levels, poor immune system, poor drainage, liver stagnation, etc.
Q: What aggravates Helicobacter pylori?
A: Processed foods like gluten, soy, dairy, processed white sugar and high acidic foods exasperates Helicobacter Pylori. It can be helpful to reduce symptoms like reflux, burning and bloat. For a full list of foods to eliminate while eliminating H. pylori, check out my H. pylori Free Naturally Ebook. In order for the protocol to be effective, it is important to address your diet, while also eliminating H. pylori naturally.
Q: Can probiotics destroy Helicobacter pylori?
A: The best probiotic for H. pylori is saccharomyces boulardii. “This probiotic inhibits H. pylori urease by lowering the gastric pH, adhesion of H. pylori to gastric epithelial cells, stabilize the gastric barrier function and reduce the side effects of antibiotics.”

Chanell says
Hello,
I have H. pylori but I’m also struggling with candida. It says that Matula tea helps with candida albicans but I have candida spp (it’s a different type of strain). I would like to know if the tea will help with other candida strains or is it only helpful for the candida albicans?
Thanks.
Kristin Harris says
Hi Chanell, that’s a great question. I will have to reach out to the company and get back to you. I don’t know if they have a study using Matula tea against that particular form of Candida. H pylori and candida usually go hand in hand, due to the fact that h pylori causes low stomach acid. But, once you clear H pylori and correct stomach acid, candida usually goes away. This is because our stomach acid needs to be the correct pH for things like candida to not overgrow. Low stomach acid is the larger issue (if not acidic, rather alkaline…this creates the environment of candida in the gut).
Nosheen says
Hi
I used metula tea for helicobactor. After 2 weeks antibiotics
But after 4 months came back
Metula tea is not working
Just may help with Ulcers
Thanks
Kristin Harris says
Hi Nosheen,
It’s challenging to eliminate H. pylori if your immune system is weak due to antibiotics, if you’re not eating the right diet and/or if you are passing H. pylori bacteria back and forth with family or a partner. H. pylori is contagious via saliva and if you are sharing cups or utensils, etc. with someone else who has H. pylori, then you will just get it again. 60% of the population has H. pylori.
Very glad to hear it helped with your ulcer. H. pylori bacteria is a root cause to ulcers.

Rajni says
Hi…I want to order for my son who is 6 year old and diagnosed with h pylori ..I want to know can we give it to kids and what should be the quantity?
Kristin Harris says
The company states it is safe for children 12+, however I’ve seen many functional medicine practitioners state it is perfectly safe for younger children. You may just not need to dose as high. Meaning, a child may not need 2 cups/day like an adult. I would check with your pediatrician or trusted health practitioner.
Martha says
Just ordered this tea. Is it safe for children? I would like to treat my family with this tea to prevent reinfection. My youngest is 5 years old. Thank You.

Arhun says
Hi, I have a question. I received my Matula tea pack yesterday, but I was already taking: Mastic gum, berberine, manuka honey, cat’s claw and probiotics daily, being on a low carb diet. But I read that you can’t have Matula tea when taking Mastic gum or probiotics. I’m confused about how to start this tea and I don’t want to stop my Mastic gum protocol in half too, because it’s working great
Kristin Harris says
Hi Arhun, you can drink the Matula Tea along with your other supplements for H. pylori Elimination. It actually makes the protocol even more effective.
Lili says
Can you please further explain the discrepancy? I’m not sure if the person meant the directions in the product itself says not to combine with mastic gum, yet you and other sources I’ve read do include that in their protocol along with other things you mentioned as well. What’s the argument (if it’s coming from the company/product itself) to not combine with mastic gum. If they mention it, there must be a reason. Thanks!
Kristin Harris says
I find (as a functional practitioner) using a comprehensive natural protocol based off the GIMAP Digestive Panel to be the most effective at H. pylori elimination. Some people just drink Matula tea and that’s all they need to clear H. pylori, but for others Matula tea by itself is not enough. Testing and not guessing your immune system and gallbladder function is very important and that’s why I recommend using the GIMAP Digestive Panel to create a personalized H. pylori elimination plan. Plus, if you stool test before/after and the matula tea doesn’t work, you can get your money back from the company. They have a money back guarantee. Everyone’s body is different. Stress, immune system, drainage pathways & gallbladder function all matter and play a role in whether the protocol will work.
Beverly Peoples says
I have used your tea and my H – pyloria tests come out negative.
I am so afraid it will come back. Is there a maintenance program I need to be on?
Thank you,
Kristin Harris says
That’s great news! So happy to hear this. I explain maintenance and how to protect yourself from H. pylori in the future in my ebook. It also includes a meal plan with anti-bacterial foods + recipes: https://eatyourgreensout.com/h-pylori-free-naturally-in-45-days/
suffering terribly says
Kristin, I have terrible gastritis / acid reflux due to antibiotic (4 doses amoxycillin in Sept.) (tested negative for h. pylori). The acid reflux & resultant gastritis is due to candida & other opportunistic bad bacteria which is now able to flourish even more as my medication (H2 blockers & PPI – both 2X / day) is lowering the stomach ph. I need something to kill the bad bacteria/Candida without further irritating my stomach. The usual herbicidals and undecylinic acid is too harsh right now. I am desperate – on a very restrictive diet – 93 lbs. Things are only worsening on this medication – Need to heal my stomach while killing bacteria at the same time.
Kristin Harris says
Hi there, I’m sorry you’re going though such a tough experience using antibiotics for H. pylori elimination. I would suggest testing the condition of your immune system via the GIMAP and your adrenal function via HTMA testing before choosing to eliminate any other GI pathogens. Both of these labs are available on my website under the “services” menu. I cannot give you personalized advice without a thorough health history and current labs.
Gina torres says
Took medication was still positive
Kristin Harris says
Matula tea is not a medication, it is an organic herbal tea. I would suggest running the GIMAP digestive panel to check your gallbladder and immune system function to see if this is why the tea was not effective for you the first time.
Gini says
Hi,
My husband and I got h pylori
I will order Matula tea for myself but my husband is on blood thinners. Injectable Fragmin .

Hi Gini, you will have to check in with your husband’s doctor to ask that question.
Deb says

Cadriah says
Hello Kristin,
Can you please tell me ,why your shipping fees are so very unreasonably expensive .How can you justify charging $42 for very light box of Matula teabags ????? This is not right and not fair .You should only charge the real postage I am 100% sure it will cost you less than$10 . I am sure lots of people are stop ordering your products because of the shipping fees , so please be fair with your customers and reduce your extremely unreasonable postage fees . Thank you.
C
Kristin Harris says
Hello Cadriah, Matula tea is not my company and I do not have any oversight over shipping costs. I wrote about the Matula tea as a natural option for H. pylori elimination. It comes directly from South Africa and it is the only true authentic Matula tea. If you have shipping issues, please contact Matula tea – the company – directly.
karen pascale says
Do you need a binder for die off! Thank you.
Kristin Harris says
The Matula Tea company does not advise taking a binder for die off. However, the website does say “if die-off symptoms become uncomfortable they suggest stopping the tea for two to three days and then continue taking the tea.”
