Herbal tea is one of the world’s most fascinating drinks in all human history. The different blends offer various health benefits and tasty treats. The discovery of herbal tea can be traced back 4,000 years ago, to its beginning in ancient China. The Chinese discovered and cultivated the herb Camellia sinensis, known as the black tea shrub. From China, like determined winds, the herbal brew eventually spread to other cultures becoming their beverage of choice for both healing and pleasure drinking. As time went on, that original herb was joined by other herbs from other cultures brewed in hot water but was expanded to include other plant parts beyond just leaves. Such plants themselves eventually took on the name “herb” and included using bark, flowers, berries, seeds, roots & rhizomes to unlock their beneficial secrets.
While herbs can be used in many ways to heal, it is its tea form, that introduces it to the body in a drugless way, other than a direct assault from harsh drugs.
Herbal teas bring you healing and positive benefits in the form of immunity strengthening, superior recovery from antibiotics, surgery, and various illnesses. Some teas help with insomnia and other sleep related disorders. Yet others help with anxiety, indigestion, antihistamines, and other common concerns. There exist many other benefits to drinking herbal tea, which I will cover in future articles.
Herbal teas are a perfect choice for people who maybe a little bit unsure about using herbs in a capsule form but wish to use them in greater doses for healing beyond what they already use for cooking. In addition, herbal teas come in the super easy form of tea bags, or dried leaves for those more adventurous. Herbal teas can be sweetened or drunk in the traditional unsweetened ways. You can drink them cold (ice teas), or traditionally hot. Whatever way you choose to consume your tea; you’ll find that it’s just the beginning of a whole new pharmacopeia world of teas that you never knew existed.
