Benefits of Herbal Teas

Herbal tea, tisane, or ptisan is a herbal or plant infusion and usually not made from the leaves of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis). Typically, herbal tea is simply the combination of boiling water and dried fruits, flowers or herbs. Herbal tea has been imbibed for nearly as long as written history extends. Documents have been recovered dating back to as early as Ancient Egypt and Ancient China that discuss the enjoyment and uses of herbal tea. Among Chinese, herbal tea is commonly known as liong cha (Cantonese) or liang cha (Mandarin).




Benefits of Herbal Tea
Firstly, it is important to note that there is a huge array of herbal teas available on the market – each one designed to have a specific therapeutic or medicinal benefit. However, there are some general benefits that can be obtained from herbal teas, and these include:

- achieving a more calm and relaxed state of mind
- supporting heart health

My favourites are Blackberry & Rosehip tea,
and Rooibos (no caffeine, and needs little or no sweetening)

Must look for those...Thankyou :)

Rooibis is an African tea, aka Red Bush tea.

Sorry.
RooibOs is the Red Bush tea

Ah yes...I think I have tasted that one...Is  it a red seal brand??

Lemon and ginger is nice and refreshing as well...

I have an entire kitchen cupboard devoted to herbal tea LOL.  I'm a believer :) -fyi: the font on this post is very tiny, was a bit hard for my eyes....

Thanks Debby..I am going to edit my posts to try a bigger font size..another blogster mentioned the same thing....

I am like you...a good variety of herbal and green teas in the pantry...:)

chamomile, mint and lemon grass are family favorites for us.  though not always at the same time, hehe.

LOL.....I enjoy those as well..especially the citrus one...:)

I keep telling myself to try herbal tea and then always put it aside.....I will try to get myself to try it at least.
