Herbal
teas and your health
Welcome to the 21st
century! We live in a time when our lives are ruled by our iPhones, the
internet, smart cars and all sorts of other technology that claims to make our
lives “easier”. While some of these gadgets and gizmos do appear to make things run more smoothly, for the most part, it’s the simple things that really make our
lives ideal.
What sort of simple things,
you ask? It can start with something as simple as what you drink daily… I’m
talking about tea.
Herbal teas are a beverage
that I feel are largely misunderstood. While they most certainly are the
beverage of choice in countries such as England, that does not by any means
imply that this is all that they are! It also does not mean that these are the
only places on earth that enjoy tea – in fact, it is enjoyed across the globe.
Why? It is not just the taste that brings people to the table at tea time… it
is also the smells, the enjoying time with friends, the experience. For many,
it is the healing aspects of the beverage that draws them to it. In fact,
herbal teas can be a remarkable tool for healing the human body in ways we can
barely begin to imagine.
What
sort of benefits are we talking about?
There is scientific evidence
to support the fact that herbals teas are excellent vehicle for healing
everything from indigestion, to insomnia, to headaches, to many other ailments
affecting the human race these days. Some are more well-known than others, and
some are actually quite surprising. But all of them are beneficial, so I am
going to talk about some of the more useful, everyday beneficial effects of
drinking tea.
Ginger
tea
If you are prone to having
an upset stomach, then you may want to try a mug of ginger tea. Known for its
soothing properties, ginger is used across the globe as a cure for all that
ails your digestive system. Ginger tea is also very warming, making it a great
choice in the winter.
Chamomile
tea
Best known for its ability
to soothe, chamomile is most people’s go-to when they are looking for a tea
that will help them sleep. It has a soft flavour and combines well with other
teas.
Specialty
teas
Just about any ingredient
can realistically be made into a tea… just place it in a teapot, cover with
water and steep for a few minutes! Try things like peppermint, licorice root,
star anise or even fenugreek seed! You can make up endless combinations of
flavours.
Tea
just makes it all come together…
It’s amazing how something
as simple as a mug of the right type of tea at the right moment can change everything… it can elevate your mood,
help level out your blood pressure, calm a headache, ease a sore tummy or even
help you sleep. There is truly a tea-based solution for just about any problem
out there; you just need to do the research to see what the answers really are!
