Menstrual cramps have been troubling women since eternity. With growing lifestyle changes and poor habits like sleeping late, eating unhealthy food, and not exercising enough, cramps are also getting painful. And diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome or fibroids only make the cramps worse.

While heating pads or over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil may help, they are not excellent or long-term solutions.

But, natural herbs can be a game-changer. They don’t have the side effects of pills but can act faster than heating pads in many cases.

But which herbs should you take for relieving menstrual cramps? Read on!

Commonly Used Herbs for Menstrual Cramps

Ginger for menstrual cramps

1. Ginger

One of the easily available herbs for menstrual cramps is ginger. According to research, ginger relieves menstrual pain as effectively as mefenamic acid and ibuprofen – the two popular pain relievers.

Ginger also prevents the development of too much prostaglandin (pro-inflammatory chemicals). All thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

During menstruation, prostaglandins aid in the contraction of the uterus and the shedding of the uterine lining. Menstrual cramps and severe pain are connected to high levels of prostaglandins.

Ginger’s warming properties make it similar to heating pads in terms of effectiveness. As a result, it can assist with pain relief.

Here are a few ways you can incorporate the warmth of ginger into your diet:

  • Add it to your meals
  • Drink ginger tea in the evenings
  • Add it to your smoothies

Fennel for menstrual cramps

2. Fennel 

Fennel is a licorice-flavored herb with a crispness similar to celery. It contains an ingredient known as anethole, which some people feel can help with spasms.

A 2013 study from Iran suggests that fennel extract mixed with Vitex agnus castus extract works just as well as prescription medicine Ponstel (mefenamic acid) for relieving menstrual cramps.

Here’s how you can incorporate the calming fennel seeds in your diet:

  • You can try soaking fennel seeds in water overnight during your periods and drinking the water in the morning or whenever you feel cramps.
  • Take a pinch of fennel seeds after every meal (they also help with digestion)
  • Enjoy fennel tea in the evenings (it will also help sleep better)

Cinnamon for menstrual cramps.

3. Cinnamon 

Another great addition to this list of herbs for menstrual cramps is cinnamon or dalchini.

Cinnamon should be your go-to for period pain. After all, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-microbial elements. For instance, cinnamate, cinnamic acid, and cinnamaldehyde.

All these help period pain by lowering inflammation caused by prostaglandins. And as a bonus, they keep your immunity in check.

Here’s how you can add spicy cinnamon to your day:

  • Apply its oil to your belly and back area
  • Use the spice directly in your food
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon powder in your smoothies or yogurt.
  • Replace your morning coffee with cinnamon tea

Peppermint for menstrual cramps

4. Peppermint 

Research shows that peppermint is effective in reducing the time and intensity for which you may face menstrual pain.

Peppermint oil is antispasmodic, which means it prevents muscle contractions (involuntary).

Peppermint can help minimize recurrent uterine muscular contractions. This is beneficial for menstruation pain (which is what causes the physical sensation of pain).

Peppermint also contains the natural analgesic menthol (i.e. pain reliever). Menthol appears to reduce pain by activating the body’s “cool” receptors, according to research.

Here’s how you can make more use of peppermint throughout the day:

  • Use peppermint essential oil in your diffuser and take advantage of aromatherapy. The fragrance of this oil can help calm your nerves and reduce your spasms.
  • Drink a cup of peppermint tea
  • Add peppermint to your smoothies and soups.

Other Effective Herbs For Menstrual Cramps

Aloe vera for Menstrual Cramps

5. Aloe vera

Menstrual cramps have been observed to get relieved by consuming aloe vera gel with honey. Some people believe it can improve blood flow, which means less cramping and pain.

Aloe vera also has anti-inflammatory properties. These combat inflammation, which is the leading cause of menstrual pain.

Consuming aloe vera can be difficult for the first few times, so you can make a juice from its pulp instead of eating the pulp directly.

Zhi Zi For Menstrual Cramps

6. Zhi Zi

A Chinese herb, Fructus Gardenia (Zhi Zi) is a cooling herb that relieves heat that commonly increases in a woman’s body during menstruation.

Consuming this herb can help with heat irritation symptoms. These include poor sleep, irritability, rage, feeling hot, or stuffy chest.

Research suggests the Gardenia constituent Genipin can reduce inflammation. It does so by inhibiting the production of prostaglandin (a pro-inflammatory compound).

Relieving the heat and reducing inflammation not only help provide comfort by reducing pain. The herb also helps get better sleep. That is necessary when a female’s body is going through so much.

Angelica Sinensis for Menstrual Cramps

7. Angelica Sinensis

Angelica, another Chinese medicine, is one of the excellent herbs for menstrual cramps.

It can relax the uterus when it gets constricted (during cramps). Thus, implying it can aid in the relief of cramps and pain.

Plus, Angelica, according to Chinese medicine, increases blood circulation. This prevents blood from becoming stagnant. Stasis, or a lack of blood circulation, is one of the most common causes of painful cramps.

In addition, Angelica extract has shown to be comparable to aspirin in its effects as an analgesic and an anti-inflammatory herb.

Over To You

That’s not all. Turmeric, fenugreek, Bupleurum, and white peony are also fantastic herbs for menstrual cramps that you can benefit from.

Which one are you going to try? Comment below!

What Are The Differences Between Black Tea And Green Tea? https://teafloor.com/blog/what-are-the-differences-between-black-tea-and-green-tea/ https://teafloor.com/blog/what-are-the-differences-between-black-tea-and-green-tea/#comments Sat, 26 Feb 2022 05:48:13 +0000 https://teafloor.com/blog/?p=4637 While both black tea and green tea come from the same plant Camellia Sinensis, they have a lot of differences.

While both black tea and green tea come from the same plant Camellia Sinensis, they have a lot of differences. And that has led to the creation of separate fan bases for the two. You’ll hardly find someone who loves both the teas.

Why is that? What makes these two children of the same mother plant, so unique and different?

5 Ways Black Tea and Green Tea are Different

1. The processing of both Black tea and Green tea happens differently.

Black tea is made by rolling the leaves and then exposing them to air to cause oxidation. As a result of this air exposure, the leaves begin to turn dark brown, thus intensifying and heightening their flavors.

The catechins found in black tea leaves undergo a chemical reaction during this oxidation, resulting in two new polyphenols known as “Thearubigins” and “theaflavins.”

The processing of Green tea leaves, on the other hand, happens in a way that prevents oxidation. Thus, preserving their natural green color and flavor. Green tea leaves get roasted immediately after harvesting to preserve their delicate flavor profile and texture.

2. Green tea has more antioxidants.

Both green and black teas contain antioxidants, but the types and amounts of antioxidants differ in both teas.

Green tea has more antioxidants than black tea.

Black tea has more theaflavins, whereas green tea has more Epigallocatechin Gallate antioxidants.

  • Theaflavins help prevents diseases like hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol) and hyperglycemia (high blood glucose level).
  • EGCG helps to prevent the proliferation of cancer cells.

Now, depending on your health priorities, you can choose which one is better.

3. Black tea has higher caffeine levels.

Black and green teas also have varied concentrations of caffeine.

While some of us may not need caffeine, others get addicted to it. One of the reasons for the latter is that caffeine is popular as a beverage giving your brain an instant boost that helps you get a jump start to your day.

It enhances the production of dopamine and serotonin that makes you more alert and vigilant.

Research shows that green tea has lower amounts of caffeine than black tea.

An average cup of Green tea has about 25-30 mg caffeine, and Black tea – has 25-110mg caffeine, depending on how it’s brewed.

Green tea is best for you if you want a low caffeine option or are caffeine-sensitive. But if your days are busy, you can’t get your sleep right, or just need to get some stuff done urgently, black tea won’t disappoint.

4. Black tea and Green tea differ in taste and appearance.

Black tea, given the name, is darker and richer in taste.

This is because it undergoes a long oxidation process meaning the tea leaves get exposed to oxygen for a longer time. This gives black tea its distinctive bitter taste.

In short, Black teas have a robust and spicy flavor.

On the other hand, green tea leaves are not oxidized at all because of which the natural green color of the leaves remains intact. Hence, it is not as bitter as black tea.

Plus, Green tea offers a more nutty and vegetal flavor.

When it comes to their looks, an infusion of Green tea has a rich green and golden color. Black tea, on the other hand, has a reddish-copper color.

5. Green tea may be more effective in weight loss.

Because green tea has higher levels of polyphenols like EGCG, it can be more potent in aiding weight loss.

EGCG is famous for its many health benefits. For instance, it improves the metabolic rate and prevents obesity.

By improving the thermogenic abilities of the body, the EGCG hormone helps burn fat, thus leading to weight loss.

A study makes green tea’s fat-burning capabilities evident. According to this study, candidates who consumed green tea lost 7.5 pounds more than candidates who did not.

Black tea also has some fat-burning compounds like caffeine, but it may also increase stress levels which green tea doesn’t. Considering how stressful our lives are already, it’s always better to choose the stress-free option whenever possible.

Also, black tea is often consumed with milk or sugar to balance its bitter taste. These ingredients also reduce many of its qualities and are not great for weight management.

Differences of Black Tea and Green Tea

Let’s Recap The Differences of Black Tea and Green Tea

Green tea Black tea
Green tea leaves are not oxidized Black tea leaves are oxidized
Has little-to-no caffeine Is high in caffeine
Less bitter More bitter
Great for weight loss Not as great for weight loss
More EGCG antioxidants More Theanine antioxidants
Pale and bright in color Darker and richer in color

Which One Should You Drink?

Both teas have many beneficial properties that can help you lead a healthy life. Depending on your life situations and priorities, you can choose either one. Both are, after all, born from the same plant.

So, if you are someone who is looking to lose weight and get healthy, green tea can be a good choice for you.

If you want an early morning boost, (probably a proud workaholic) you can opt for black tea.

Which one would you choose? Comment below!

Why Kashmiri Kahwa green tea for winters? What’s so special about this tea, you ask?

Ever wondered what makes Kashmiri Kahwa green tea ‘Kashmiri’? It’s the cold temperature of the city of Kashmir.

With flavors of almonds, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and rose petals, this exotic tea blend is a favorite among Kashmiris for breakfast. This spicy tea leaves your mind feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Coming from Kashmir’s chilly valleys, Kashmiri Kahwa green tea seems the ideal green tea to keep you warm during the winter months.

Here Are 5 Reasons Why Kashmiri Kahwa Is The Perfect Green Tea For Winters.

1. It acts as a warm blanket.

The Kashmiri Kahwa green tea has ingredients like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. All these are spices that are warm in nature. The tea is also made hot, which makes it highly comforting to drink on a winter morning.

Now, who would say no to a cozy warm blanket in the winters? Well, Kashmiri Kahwa is no less than one.

2. It improves immunity against the common cold and other winter maladies.

Winters come with winter maladies like sore throat, common cold, and cough with sometimes flu. All these, while not very harmful, can be an unpleasant experience.

Sore throat happens when cold air causes severe irritation by drying out the tissue in the throat. Also, when inhaling through the mouth instead of the nose, symptoms can get worse.

When it comes to common colds and flu, viruses are to blame. Viruses enter our bodies via our noses.

Thankfully, our nasal lining possesses powerful defense mechanisms against these microbial invaders. You see, our nostrils secrete mucus all of the time. Viruses get stuck in sticky snot. And it is constantly moving through our nasal passages thanks to microscopic hairs called cilia. Then our stomach juices neutralize the microorganisms once we ingest the whole thing.

The problem arises when cold air cools the nasal tube and inhibits the clearing of mucus. And this is when a virus can break over the barrier to cause harm.

Fortunately for us, the immune system takes over and fights the invader. But this is not always the case. Especially, not in winters, when these invaders are much more than you can imagine.

That’s why it’s necessary to work on your immunity and strengthen it. Kashmiri Kahwa green tea for winters specializes in that! It can amp up your line of defense – the immune system and keep you protected from discomforting colds and flu.

The tea’s warmth also helps relieve sore throat similar to your grandma’s kadha that you may remember.

Kashmiri Green Tea In Winters

3. It helps burn fat.

Because the evenings are longer in the winter, one may find themselves sleeping for longer periods of time and feeling lethargic all day. This sluggishness leads to us craving comforting foods like hot fries, pakoras, sweets, cookies, and sandwiches with tea or coffee.

The lethargy leaves us with no motivation to cook our own food at home. And thus encourages us to order something like pizza or pasta which is unhealthy for our body.

The cold temperature adds to its effects and reduces our metabolism in the winters which means we don’t burn fat at the speed our body is storing it. Eventually, we gain weight.

Unfortunately, the cold outside discourages us from movement as well. We don’t find the motivation to step outside and go for even a short walk, let alone a visit to the gym.

Thankfully, Kashmiri Kahwa green tea has warm spices like cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon. These not only keep us comforted but also increase our metabolism and help break down fat. Thus, helping us maintain a healthy weight.

4. It’s a healthy alternative to alcohol.

It’s mostly seen in cold climate areas like Jammu and Kashmir, people depend on alcohol for warming up their bodies from the inside.

Knowing how unhealthy alcohol can be for the body in excess, it is better to use Kashmiri Kahwa green tea for winters no matter where you live. The tea has ingredients like cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon which are warm. Plus, the tea has no unhealthy characteristics like alcohol.

5. It reduces joint pain.

Complaints about joint discomfort are more common at the end of the fall or in the winter than in other seasons. The body strives to save heat by sending more blood to organs in the mid-section of the body, such as the heart, lungs, and digestive organs, during the colder months.

As a result, there is decreased blood flow to the legs, knees, arms, shoulders, and other joints. The blood arteries in the joints then constrict as a result of this. Reduced blood flow causes stiffness and coldness in such areas, which can cause pain and discomfort.

Cold weather also causes inflammation of the joints due to changes in atmospheric pressure. Thus, causing more pain in your joints.

How does Kashmiri Kahwa green tea help in winters with joint pain? During the winter, the warmth of the cloves in this brew help keep joints from becoming stiff. Additionally, cinnamon present in it aids in the circulation of the blood.

Green Tea In Winters

How To Prepare Kashmiri Kahwa Tea?

You can make both cold tea and hot tea from Teafloor’s Kashmiri Kahwa green tea. However, cold tea is not as comforting in the winters. Therefore, here’s a recipe for you to make a hot and happening cup of Kashmiri Kahwa and enjoy.

  1. In a teapot, put 1 teaspoon of tea leaves.
  2. Add 180 mL of boiling water to the teapot. Make sure it is around 70-75 degrees Celsius.
  3. Allow for a 2-minute infusion time.
  4. Strain the concoction, fill your teacups with the brew, and serve immediately.

Finishing It Off

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the term illness is an unhealthy condition of the body or mind. It can be a disease. But, in layman’s terms, illness is usually used to talk about non-chronic diseases. Drinking anti illness tea is a step you can take to say goodbye to all kinds of illnesses. After all, it’s these illnesses that when not treated go on to become chronic diseases that change our life totally, but not for good.

What Is Anti Illness Tea?

Anti illness teas are teas aimed to help you get rid of your illnesses. Unlike regular teas, these drinks are not just made for the flavor and caffeine content. Green tea (sometimes black tea) gets mixed with several herbs and spices that promise you healthy goodness you don’t want to miss out on.

Illness teas have the correct ratio of herbs and spices. These include turmeric, tulsi, moringa, ginger, Giloy, amla, lemon, and lemongrass among many others. Don’t forget, green tea is most commonly the primary ingredient whose antioxidants play a significant role in helping your body and mind heal.

The omnipotent ingredients get produced in the land of spices – India, where they get their supreme aroma, texture, and flavor.

The only job of these ingredients is to use their magical properties to heal different parts of your body. For example, their antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, and analgesic properties.

With anti illness tea, you get to remove toxins or negative energies of any kind from your body and mind. Thus, filling it with positivity and health for a long time.

why should you drink Anti Illness Tea

The Benefits – Why Should You Drink Anti Illness Tea?

  1. Most anti illness teas have green tea as the primary ingredient. Because green tea does not undergo oxidation, it has its nutrients preserved to benefit our health.
  2. Anti illness tea has various herbs and spices from India as its ingredients. These herbs and spices have antibacterial, antiviral, and analgesic properties among many others. They are also antimicrobial, antiseptic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory in nature. They have incredible antioxidants, phytonutrients, and amino acids. And also, bioactive compounds, digestives, and stimulants can help your health.
  3. Anti illness tea can improve your immunity with its ingredients. By drinking anti illness tea, you make for yourself a strong warrior to fight different kinds of illnesses.

5 Types Of Anti Illness Tea You Must Know About

1. Anti-illness tea for indigestion

  • MetaG+:

This tea is a melange of Black Tea with herbs like Tulsi, Lemon Peel, Peppermint, Amla, Kudzu Root, and Shatavari.

All these together help to increase your metabolism rate, so your body can break down food with ease, and even while you are resting. This is necessary because proper digestion keeps you away from issues like acidity, nausea, vomiting, colitis, etc.

  • AcidityG+

Don’t like black tea in MetaG+? Try AcidityG+. It has green tea with Fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, Ajwain, and Bay Leaf as primary ingredients. The ayurvedic formulation helps to treat acidity and prevent it. If you have an evergreen problem of acidity, you can consult your doctor and see if you can take acidityG+ daily for better health.

2. Anti-illness tea for blood purification

Green Tea plus, Rakt Chandan, Giloy, Gorakhmundi, Manjishtha, Shahtara, and Daruhaldi, does a great job of purifying your blood. All these herbs have various properties that help them do their job. But primarily, it’s the catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and other compounds in them that help purify.

Doing this is essential because, without pure blood, the nutrients and oxygen you consume won’t reach all corners of your body. And that can lead to issues like that of the skin, hair, brain, and heart.

Anti Illness Tea for immunity

3. Anti illness tea for immunity

  • Immune CV:

This tea has impressive amounts of Amla, Tulsi, Giloy, Cinnamon, Ginger, Turmeric, and Ashwagandha, with green tea. These add vitamin C along with several kinds of polyphenols to your diet. The antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties of these ingredients fight harmful microbes. Thus, keeping you protected against infections and building your immunity.

  • Immune G+

This tea is a herbal one created with Lemon, Tulsi, Cinnamon, and Ginger mixed with Assam’s finest green tea. Here the Vitamin C comes from the lemon. Tulsi, Cinnamon, and Ginger add their antibacterial properties to the mix. Tulsi works to purify the blood and heal infections if they happen. Now you know why Grandma’s concoction had similar ingredients.

4. Anti illness tea for diabetes

Teafloor’s DiabG+ has Gurmar, Vijaysar, Jamun Seeds, Cumin seeds, Flax seeds, Turmeric, Giloy, among other herbs that help treat type-2 diabetes.

All these together help to balance your hormones and clear out the toxins from your blood. The toxins include excess sugar as well, which helps reduce your blood sugar levels. But, it’s the hormonal imbalance that when treated helps to take control of insulin – the hormone causing diabetes in the first place.

5. Anti illness tea for high blood pressure

If you smoke, drink alcohol, eat excessive salt, or don’t do much physical exercise, you probably have high blood pressure. This high bp happens when the amount of salt, fat, or cholesterol increases in your blood. At a later stage, your high blood pressure can become the cause of problems like stroke, heart failure, or memory loss.

Teafloor’s BPG+ has Hibiscus, Arjun Bark, Rooibos, Lavender, and Kudzu Root with green tea. All these help to reduce your blood pressure with their various kinds of medicinal properties.

To Sum Up

Those were 5 types of anti illness teas that might be helpful to you if you have diabetes, low immunity, high bp, impure blood, or symptoms of indigestion and gastrointestinal problems.

No wonder green tea is perceived to be a superfood. It can do miracles for you health-wise. The Chinese and Japanese have been using green tea for years to enrich their health with its medicinal benefits.

Born from the plant, ‘Camellia Sinensis‘ green tea is less oxidized than both black tea and oolong tea, which makes it preserve more health perks than any other tea. What are these nourishing perks? What does green tea do for you health-wise? Let’s find out!

Discovering What Green Tea Does For Your Health

Green tea is a password for magnificent health, thanks to its extensive number of antioxidants and other nutritious elements. Here’s what green tea can do:

1.  Belly fat

Is it difficult for you to maintain a BMI that’s normal? Is your metabolism low enough that you gain weight even with less food? Do you have digestive problems?

If your answer is yes to any of these questions, green tea can be your savior.

Apart from green tea leaves, the chief ingredient in a cup is water. This makes green tea have far fewer calories than any other drink, like soda or coffee. Swapping high-calorie drinks with green tea is, therefore, a great way to lose that belly fat.

After reducing your appetite, green tea also helps you recover from workouts by its energy-providing characteristics. It helps heal the sore muscles, and the antioxidants help repair cell damage. Thus, motivating you to work out more frequently and lose that belly fat.

2.  Skin

The antioxidants found in green tea leaves help to detoxify your bloodstream. Green tea also acts as a diuretic that increases your urine sessions, thus making you lose those toxins.

The fewer toxins your bloodstream has, the more blood circulation becomes possible. This further helps in the flow of oxygen throughout the body. That means to your skin cells too. Thus, helping them grow healthier.

Also, the antioxidants in green tea help fight free radicals, which otherwise would damage your skin cells.

3.  Hair

Did you know green tea is also used in shampoos and conditioners? The reason is the goodness of green tea.

The EGCG extracts in green tea can reduce damage to the hair follicles. Thus, reducing hair loss.

Since green tea also helps promote blood circulation, there is a better chance for nutrients to reach your hair roots and increase hair growth.

4.  Sleep

Green tea has near to no amounts of caffeine. This means you can enjoy it throughout the day. Without caffeine, green tea won’t hamper your sleep, as most other teas and drinks do.

Green tea also has a calming compound by the name L-Theanine that helps you enjoy peaceful naps.

With good sleep, you ensure cheerful mornings, more productivity, more energy to work out, and have healthy meals.

5.  Diabetes

The antioxidants in green tea help to balance the ‘hormonal imbalance’. If you are diabetic, insulin is one hormone you cannot ignore.

Hormonal imbalance leads to insulin resistance. This is when your body does not seem to recognize insulin. It keeps asking for more, even if your pancreas has developed a good enough amount to use.

Insulin’s job is to break down the glucose cells. If your body does not find it enough, the sugar mixes with your bloodstream. Thus, leading to complications that come with diabetes. For example, high cholesterol, uric acid, and glaucoma.

6.  Brain

Memory functions, cognitive functions, and mood control are some primary functions of your brain. rim

Thankfully, the L-Theanine found in green tea, and the minimal amounts of caffeine help stimulate your brain cells, improving all the above-said functions.

Also, green tea helps fight free radicals, which can otherwise lead to brain diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

7.  Bones

Green tea helps prevent inflammation of bones and damage to bone cells, thanks to its antioxidants. Thus, it helps increase bone density, keeping you away from diseases like arthritis.

8.  Green tea for your immunity

We need to consume antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral foods to make sure our immunity stays strong.

Green tea has antioxidants that have all these features. Plus, they strengthen your body’s cells and help provide more nutrition to all organs, thus ensuring longevity too.

9. Heart

The flavonoids and polyphenols found in green tea help reduce bad cholesterol and blood pressure. They keep a check on your uric acid levels and reduce the amount of blood sugar and fats that can hamper your heart health.

10. Stress

Green tea has a minimal amount of caffeine along with a compound called L-Theanine.

Caffeine helps stimulate your brain cells and increase dopamine levels, thus helping you become happy.

L-Theanine is an amino acid that develops a sense of calm and relief. It helps to relax and take control of your stress.

Green Tea Do for You

Which Is The Best Green Tea For You?

Got your answer to what does green tea do for you health-wise? It’s time to choose the best green tea.

Do you like flavourful teas? If yes, you will love Teafloor’s Zesty Orange Green Tea. Or are you more health-conscious and would prefer an herbal green tea with Tulsi or Mulethi?

Apart from the fantastic benefits of herbal tea, this beverage is widely known as a tempting alternative to sugary beverages or water.

Made from dried fruits, flowers, spices, or herbs, people have been utilizing it for centuries as granny’s antidotes.

Before counting the endless benefits of herbal tea, let us know in depth what herbal tea is.

What is Herbal Tea?

Herbal tea is a kind of beverage with influential fragrance, zest, and healing properties. History suggests that herbal tea originally comes from Tisane. The term Tisane, on the other hand, comes from the Greek term Ptisane implying ‘crushed barley’.

But, when we talk about China, they name it Liang Cha, which implies Cooling Tea. That’s because the tea tends to cool the body by counteracting high body temperature.

Benefits Of Herbal Tea

benefits of herbal tea

1.  Develops Healthy Digestive System

Herbal tea was well-known as the realistic antidote for all health issues linked to digestion. These teas work by breaking down fats and enabling the stomach to get empty at a rapid rate.

With this, further the symptoms of bloating, vomiting, and indigestion decrease, thus making the digestive system healthier.

2.  Boosts Immunity System

One of the other benefits of herbal tea is that it boosts the immune system. This tea fights back infections and diseases as it is full of vitamins and antioxidants like polyphenols.

Moreover, the presence of these solvents safeguards the body from captivating oxidative stress, which lessens the risk of chronic diseases.

3.  Zero-Calorie Tea

This tea is a better-tasting choice than caffeinated drinks. While research on knowing the direct effects of tea on weight loss is continuous; still, you can say that tea can be a delightful replacement for ordinary old water throughout the day.

But remember that putting in additions such as sugar or honey can add up the calories to it. So, you can skip these additions if you want to have a calorie-free drink.

4.  Anti-Aging Effects of Herbal Tea

To look younger, you need to stop using toxic products and instead begin savoring herbal tea. Compression of anti-aging properties with antioxidants slows down the aging process of a person.

Also, it staves off free-radical damage occurring inside the body. Besides the above, it reduces the aging process of the cells and results in making skin and hair look younger.

5.  Acts As An Incredible Stress Buster

Among the significant benefits of herbal tea, one major advantage is that it calms the senses and soothes all kinds of stress.

Relieving stress and anxiety leads to the adequate treatment of sleep-related problems such as insomnia. So you can say that it works as an antidepressant that stimulates brain functioning and ultimately curbs depression.

6.  Anti-Inflammatory Effects Of Herbal Tea

Intake of herbal tea benefits you regularly because it has an ample range of therapeutic properties.

Specifically, ginger herbal tea is an ideal treatment for muscle and joint pain. So anyone who has arthritis and often experiences pain in joints can include it as part of their daily health routine.

7.  Fight Back Cure Cold and Cough

The benefits of herbal tea also include its capability to fight back seasonal health problems like common colds and cough.

Elderberry is an excellent herb that treats cold and cough. It possesses several medicinal properties that work to clean the nasal passage and deal with cough. Besides that, it also prevents you from experiencing asthmatic problems.

8. Harmonize the Blood Pressure

Herbal tea is ideal for people with high blood pressure. One of the suitable herbal teas for lessening blood pressure is Hibiscus tea.

Sipping 1-2 cups of hibiscus tea every day leads to the lowering of blood pressure. Thus, decreasing the risk of growing heart-related and kidney-related difficulties.

9. Preserve Essential Minerals Inside Body

Both women and men need minerals to produce red blood cells. Red blood cells help sustain satisfactory hemoglobin levels.

Then to raise blood cells, herbal tea includes an adequate amount of calcium, iron, and vital minerals, that empowers the body to sustain mineral deficiency.

10. Acts As A Blood Sugar Regulator

Patients having mild diabetes have noticed a striking improvement upon drinking special herbal teas like sage and bilberry.

Both these herbal teas promote lower blood sugar levels and are hence universally accepted in diabetic neuropathy.

Herbal Tea Benefits The Skin

11. Herbal Tea Benefits The Skin

Nowadays, skin problems like pimples, acne, and blemishes are common. Chamomile green tea and Spearmint Herbal tea specialize in discarding all the toxins from the body.

Moreover, these have antibacterial properties that rid off or prevent skin breakouts and thus keep the skin healthful and glowing. To receive the above-said tea benefits, you can drink it or instantly apply it to the skin.

12. Prevents Chronic Diseases

Herbal teas are high in antioxidants like flavonoids, and tannins, which remove free radicals from the body. These also regulate cholesterol levels and prevent blood clots.

Moreover, adequate intake of antioxidants results in a lower likelihood of cancer, brain deterioration, and osteoporosis.

13. Herbal Tea Benefits Pregnant Women

Herbal tea has served as a uterine relaxant for centuries to pregnant women. It supports the balancing of hormones, alleviates cramps, and promotes fertility.

Being rich in Vitamin C, herbal tea helps in coping with morning sickness and nausea.

14. Adequate For Oral Health

The varied benefits of herbal tea also cover oral health. It offers antimicrobial properties that can lower the risk of thrush, fungal infection, and oral decay.

Lemongrass herbal tea can inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as Streptococcus sanguinis, that stimulates cavity formation. But, doctors recommend taking herbal tea to a minimal extent as it can cause loss of tooth enamel if used excessively.

15. Weight Loss Impacts of Herbal Tea

Herbal teas prepared with cinnamon, fennel, carom seeds are incredible for strengthening metabolism in your body. So, many fitness experts recommend it to complement the weight loss journey.
