what's thetea?

AROUND THE 16TH CENTURY IN CHINA, tea started as a medical drink to heal wounds, improve mental health, aid in digestion, improve heart health, regulate body temperature, and more. Herbal teas come in dozens of delicious flavors and are naturally free of sugar and calories—and many herbal teas provide an array of health benefits. In fact, science is beginning to validate some of their traditional uses. Here are a few blends you may want to try:

CHAMOMILE TEA

is famous for its soothing and calming properties and helping with respiratory problems. It is known for reducing anxiety and helping people fall sleep. It’s also used to calm an upset stomach and other digestive issues. PEPPERMINT TEA

is one of the mostconsumed teas on the planet. While it’s most commonly used to support digestive health, it also has antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. GINGER TEA

has a flavorful spice that is packed with healthy, diseasefighting antioxidants. It also helps fight inflammation and stimulates the immune system. Ginger tea has proven to be effective in soothing nausea in cancer patients. ROSE HIP TEA

is high in vitamin C and other beneficial plant compounds, giving it plenty of anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that rose hip powder can reduce inflammation and pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. GREEN TEA

helps boost the immune system, keeps you hydrated, and improves energy levels. It is also effective in lowering bad cholesterol (LDL); but keep in mind that green tea is naturally caffeinated so it should be consumed in moderation. w
