Herbal Tea: The Delicious Medicine In Your Pantry

Herbal Tea: The Delicious Medicine In Your Pantry

Aromatic and full of flavor, herbal teas are versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of the day! “Herbal tea” is actually a comprehensive term that encompasses any steeped leaf, flower, or bark. Essentially, as long as the beverage doesn’t contain Camellia sinensis (the true tea plant), it’s an herbal. Almost all herbal teas are caffeine free, and can be enjoyed before bed. Those that are sensitive to caffeine can still enjoy a delicious hot mug or iced tea without the stimulation.

In fact, many “teas” that we drink on a regular basis aren’t teas at all, but are actually comprised of fragrant flowers and roots. Some examples of popular herbal teas are chamomile, peppermint, and hibiscus. Most of these botanicals contain unique properties that offer some awesome health benefits to accompany their delicious taste. Let’s explore some of these special “teas” and discover why they’re good for you and advantageous to your health!


Organic Chamomile

Chamomile is a small flower with white petals and a big, yellow capitula where the pollen is exposed. Though it’s appearance is reminiscent of other flowers in the daisy family, it contains quite a few unique medicinal properties. Ancient Egyptian society utilized chamomile as an anti-inflammatory, taken orally and also applied topically to the skin. They also used it to calm anxieties and prevent nightmares! Today, science has uncovered the phytochemicals responsible for chamomile’s soothing nature.

Uses: Sleep inducing, calming, anti-inflammatory

Two culinary super powers, these roots work in tandem to provide digestive support and prevent inflammation. By combining the active phytochemicals in these two nutraceuticals, you increase the efficacy and bioavailability of their medicinal properties. Turmeric has long been utilized for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial abilities in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Ginger also has a reputation as an anti-dyspeptic and is recommended for its ability to quell nausea symptoms.

Many herbs, roots, and flowers used to create herbal “tea” blends are just as healthful as they are delicious. Although they are not truly tea, they are worth the steep for their naturally therapeutic qualities. By incorporating herbal tea into your daily regimen, you can receive benefits without adding extra caffeine. Perhaps next time you have a sniffle or an ache, you’ll reach for the cabinet in your kitchen instead of your bathroom. Let your food (and your drink) be thy medicine!
