The definition of a herbal tea is any drink made from various plant parts, including flowers, leaves, seeds, bark and roots, which are not derived from the tea bush. This means that there are innumerable types of herbal tea and infinite blends of one or more ingredient.
Herbal teas are a great way to stay hydrated and support the health of the cells, tissues and organs. With literally thousands of medicinal herbs on the market, it may be confusing to know what herbs are safe and effective for many common complaints. While by no means a comprehensive list, these herbal teas are gentle, effective and readily available.
Ginger Tea
Ginger is an energizer and a stimulator. Drinking ginger tea both stimulates and soothes the digestive system. Ginger has been known to aid people experiencing nausea. Arthritic people have found ginger tea helpful since it has anti-inflammatory properties.
Rosehip Tea
Rosehips are the fruit of the rose plant and are one of the best plant sources of vitamin C, which is important for the immune system, skin and tissue health and adrenal function. Consider reaching for rosehip tea next time you need a health boost.
Peppermint Tea
It's not for nothing that peppermint is used to flavour many of the antacid tablets available on the market. It's been known for centuries that peppermint relaxes muscles thus aiding digestion and relieving stomach cramps and flatulence. A pleasant-tasting tisane, it will, just like toothpaste, freshen your breath.
Cinnamon Tea
Some research has suggested that cinnamon can lower cholesterol and blood sugar. Even without that possible benefit, cinnamon tea is a warming and seasonal drink for winter. It can be drunk as a tisane or the cinnamon-flavoured water can be poured on top of a regular black teabag, which is then allowed to infuse for 2-3 minutes. Serve with sugar to taste.
