Health Benefits of Herbal Teas
“Herbal Teas are full of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and amino acids that work to unwind, rejuvenate and relax the mind, detoxify the body, increase immunity, stabilise metabolism and sustain healthy skin cells. In particular, turmeric tea fosters the immune system,” says Neha Mary, tea sommelier at The House of Tea.
“Herbal teas prove themselves beneficial to aid the immune system. They protect the body against oxidative stress and help to fight disease and infection, lowering chances of chronic diseases,” adds Kausshal Dugarr, founder and CEO of Teabox. Elderberry, echinacea, ginger, and liquorice root tea are also well-known for their immunity-boosting properties.
“Another observed benefit are its anti-inflammatory properties. Herbal teas that contain ingredients such as peppermint, ginger, turmeric and eucalyptus help soothe any distress from arthritis, hemorrhoids, headaches, body aches and even nausea,” adds Dugarr.
