My Favourite Herbal Teas for Inner Healing
Whether you need physical or spiritual healing, these herbal tea choices will work like a charm if given half the chance!
Peppermint
Peppermint is Mother Nature’s painkiller and is the perfect choice for dulling the pain of ailments in the body. If suffering from cramps, headaches and painful limbs try giving hot peppermint tea a go. It may not completely relieve the pain but it will certainly help bring it down to a more manageable level without resorting to painkillers.
Chamomile
Chamomile tea is a blessing when it comes to sleep deprivation. As a natural sedative, this is a wonderful plant to help relax and calm you for a well-rested and deserved good night’s sleep. This natural treatment is also a good choice when it comes to suffering from intestinal problems or any bouts of nausea. The flower itself contains soothing and comforting chemicals called ‘flavonoids’ which help to settle the stomach.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus flower tea is extremely flavourful and jam-packed with antioxidants! Not only is it a refreshing choice but thanks to the high vitamin intake, this tea can seriously help bring down high blood pressure levels. If unhealthy weight gain is a problem, try drinking hibiscus tea to help curb sugar cravings and boost liver health. This flower may also leave your hair feeling glossier too!
Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is definitely the tea you need if suffering from any form of anxiety, nervousness or stress. This minty-smelling herb is another natural sedative, helping to calm both the mind and the soul in uncomfortable situations. Lemon balm can also aid in digestive issues, inflammation and tackling viruses - making it a must-have for all cold sore sufferers!
Rosemary
Rosemary is one of the top multi-purpose plants, helping to combat and treat a number of different ailments. With its rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients, Rosemary has multiple health benefits including helping to improve brain function, encourage hair growth, increase blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and help to fight infections. Definitely keep some of this in your cupboard!
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is another multi-purpose spice absolutely loaded with beneficial medicinal properties. If suffering from a common cold or even the flu, try blending this tea with honey and a slice of lemon for relief. Cinnamon can also help with reducing the risk of cancer, cutting the risk of heart disease, fighting virus infections, relieving toothache and replenishing the skin. Stick this at the top of your shopping list for next time!
I hope you try some, if not all, of these herbal teas and let me know if they work for you!
