Herbal Tea Benefits

 Herbal tea is surging in popularity thanks to positive publicity surrounding herbal tea benefits and the vast array of delectable flavors available to consumers. When you enjoy a healthy cup or several mugs of herbal tea each day, you are actually consuming an herbal infusion – also known as a tisane – rather than actual brewed "tea."

Herbal infusions look like tea and are brewed in boiling water like tea – yet they do not come from the Camellia sinensis bush, the plant from which all teas are made. Instead, tisanes are made from carefully planned and measured mixtures of botanticals.

An herbal infusion may contain select dried leaves, pieces of ripe fruit, flowers, grasses, nuts, barks, seeds or other botanicals that give them their taste and contribute to an array of folk and researched-based herbal tea benefits.

Here are some of the suggested herbal tea benefits when consumed on a daily basis.

• Achieve a more calm, relaxed state of mind

• Support heart health

• Aid with stomach and digestive problems

• Provide cleansing properties for the body

• Promote energy and wellness
