Tell us, what herbs do you use? Or which ones would you like to try?

I hope the article was useful to you

Simple dietary changes better side will quickly affect your health, appearance and vigor. The easiest way to start change is with drinks. Replace sweet sodas with homemade lemonade, and tea and coffee (leaving only a morning cup for those in need of a caffeine awakening) with herbs. Flowers, leaves and plant stems are the healthiest alternative to teas. In addition, it is much more diverse.

Linden

Linden is considered to be a pharmaceutical medicine. And there are reasons for this - brewed tea will help cope with a cold, because it acts as an antipyretic and diaphoretic. It has bactericidal properties, fights inflammation of the oral cavity and stomach, and has a mild calming effect. In the summer, hot tea can make you sweat a little (useful, but not always appropriate in the heat), but chilled tea can easily replace soft drinks and even lemonade; the light natural sweetness from flower pollen does not require sugar at all.

Chamomile

A popular “cure” for many diseases in folk medicine. Chamomile tea has long been used to treat diseases of the stomach and intestines, mucous membranes, and relieve spasms. Acting as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent, chamomile also has a cleansing effect on the body. A hot drink increases sweating, and with it unnecessary toxins are released, intestinal function is normalized, which subsequently has a positive effect on the condition of the skin and hair. But you should not overuse this tea - its sedative properties can negatively affect concentration and performance.

Mint

Calms, normalizes blood pressure and relieves pain, eliminates nausea and heaviness in the stomach. Peppermint tea can cope with any discomfort associated with the digestive system. In addition, the menthol contained in the plant is a pleasant cooling bonus, especially in summer time. I wonder what mint tea capable of simultaneously doing two seemingly mutually exclusive actions - calming and stimulating brain activity.

Better known as thyme. This herb can often be found in herbal health teas or in detox teas. It envelops, disinfects and gently heals and cleanses the mucous membranes. As a medicine, it is used for bronchitis and other respiratory diseases.

Rose

Tea made from rose leaves, as well as flowers from the entire family of different corners planets - hibiscus, hibiscus - are most valued for their red pigment. It contains vitamin P, which is indispensable as a nutrient for cardiovascular system. This tea increases endurance, strengthens blood vessels, reduces allergic reactions and cleanses. Chilled tea can be used as a mild facial toner.

An unpopular tea, which, however, can be bought in almost any pharmacy. It stimulates appetite, stimulates digestion (while having a mild laxative effect), and has choleretic and anthelmintic properties. This tea is an excellent detox for the liver and kidneys.

Fennel

The greens, dried stems, or even fennel seeds have a powerful cleansing effect on the body. This tea binds and removes toxic metabolic products, various antigens, immune complexes, radionuclides, heavy metal salts, and toxins from the body. Regulates peristalsis and normalizes intestinal motility, acting as a carminative. Good as in independent form, and in combination with other herbs.

And its Indian variety is tulsi tea. Dried and brewed into tea, the leaves of this basil variety taste like smoky black tea. Without theine in its composition, it is able to invigorate. Izdverna it was considered a powerful adaptogen and immunomodulator.

Spices

You can also add spices to tea - separately or in a mixture. One of the most delicious examples is Indian masala tea. It contains cardamom, cinnamon, dry ginger, cloves, fennel, black pepper; less often - nutmeg or allspice, rose, saffron, anise and licorice. Spices will be useful for poor digestion, general lethargy or drowsiness, and lack of energy. Spices remove waste and toxins, as well as stagnant mucus from the body. Any of the combinations can be added to black tea or coffee (by the way, cardamom reduces the negative effects of caffeine to almost zero). And in combination with milk, such a drink can replace a meal - it will warm, nourish and reduce the feeling of hunger.

As a child, I was always confused why my grandfather didn’t drink store-bought tea “like other people,” but always brewed tea with herbs or branches. Years have passed and now we ourselves have “sat down” on these, and their smell now reminds me every time.

Let's look at what herbs and plants are suitable for making tea and what benefits they provide.

Tea herbs are those herbs that taste good when brewed. The plant can use leaves, twigs, buds, flowers, and in some species, roots.

Some plants only reveal their flavor when the leaves are fermented, and when dried or raw they have a pale and grassy taste, such as strawberry and strawberry leaves. Or their taste is weak without fermentation, like maple leaves.

Plants such as, or you can brew the dried top leaves and flowers. During fermentation, the taste changes to a more intense one, with coffee and chicory notes. Fermented fireweed tea is one of the richest tasting tea drinks.
