Herbal Tea Benefits

There’s nothing in the world that can’t be made better with a cup of hot tea. Tea is the go-to pick-me-up beverage when people feel stressed, tired, or down. It’s also a popular drink of choice in celebration and bonding with friends and family. People worldwide have been drinking tea and herbal teas for centuries, which is for a good reason. Countless studies have shown certain teas can support a healthy immune system, fight off cancer, heart disease, and inflammation.


Drinking herbal teas can bring a whole host of health and wellness benefits. Whether you want to relax, get ready for sleep, boost your digestion, or improve your skin health, there is a herbal tea for just about anything you could want.

 

 

What Is Herbal Tea?

 

Despite its name, herbal tea is not actually tea. True teas come from the camellia sinensis plant, whereas herbal teas are made from tisanes which are blends of flowers, fruits, herbs, or spices that are then steeped in water to make the ‘tea.’


Herbal teas are naturally low or free from caffeine and can be enjoyed during the day or at night as part of a healthy balanced lifestyle to boost wellness.

 

10 Benefits Of Drinking Herbal Teas

 

As touched on above, there are so many advantages that come with drinking herbal teas. We’ll take a look at these below.


Helps Digestion
A top benefit of drinking herbal teas is that they can aid your digestion system. If you want to ease uncomfortable bloating after a heavy meal or alleviate symptoms of IBS, then mint teas can help with this.


Increases Focus
If you’re struggling to focus at work, while playing video games, or lack the motivation to fuel your workouts, you’ll be pleased to know that some herbal teas can stimulate the brain. Sipping on these beverages can encourage blood flow to the brain so your synapses can power on full cylinders. The result? Full concentration, no more brain fog, and a sense of clarity.


Powers The Immune System
Is your immune system feeling sluggish? Do you constantly have a cold? If yes, then sipping on herbal tea might be just what you need to strengthen your immune system. Packed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and polyphenols, herbal teas can help you ward off any unwanted illnesses, so you are always on your a-game.


Reduces Inflammation
Many herbal teas have anti-inflammatory properties that can bring relief to a whole host of ailments. Whether you suffer from headaches, tummy problems, or joint pain, herbal tea can help reduce these symptoms. Ginger, turmeric, and mint teas are famed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.


Weight Management & Maintenance
If you’re looking to boost your metabolism or you are looking to shed a few pounds, then drinking herbal teas can aid weight loss and even help you to maintain your current weight.


Healthy Skin
If you want to give your skin a healthy glow, herbal tea can do just that. If you wish to brighten, plump, or reduce the effects of UV light, then there is a herbal tea for the job. Elderberry teas and spearmint teas both have skin-boosting properties.


Reduces Stress
In need of a healthy way to unwind after a long day? A cup of chamomile tea could be just the remedy. Calming chamomile encourages you to unwind and power down so you can get a restful night’s sleep.


Lowers Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can be fatal. Stroke, heart attack, memory loss, kidney disease, aneurysms, and heart failure are also linked to the condition. Many lifestyle factors can contribute to raised blood pressure but drinking herbal teas such as hibiscus has been proven to reduce this.


Fights Nausea
Herbal teas have long been recommended to bring nausea relief. Whether you are experiencing nausea due to pregnancy, medical treatment, or general unwellness, herbal teas can soothe the queasy feeling. Mint, chamomile, and fennel teas are just some of the best options to fight that sicky feeling.


Anti-Ageing
Who doesn’t want to look and feel younger? The antioxidants found in herbal teas can fight free radicals that can contribute to the ageing process and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because they destroy the skin’s elasticity.
