Only the finest quality imported herbs and spices are selected by TEALEAVES. While we believe there exists a synergy between tea and herb drinks, our expertise does not extend beyond tea. We publish the well known actions of popular herbs but offer no individual herbal advice except to observe the warnings below.
Herbal infusions can be effective remedies for a variety of ailments. This natural holistic approach to health is becoming increasingly popular but should NOT replace conventional medicine or prescription drugs. If you are ill or have any health concerns, consult your health practitioner.
Herbal therapies can have a powerful effect. Be aware. Should you experience any side effects when taking herbal infusions, immediately stop using the herb and consult your health practitioner. Try to avoid continuously drinking the same infusion. Your herbal practitioner can best advise you about frequency, strength of infusion and brewing times.
For people who just want a refreshing tea alternative, the standard way to make a herbal infusion is to pour boiling water over 1 or 2 teaspoons of the dried herb, let it brew for 5-8 minutes then strain and drink. You can sweeten your infusion with honey. A dash of lemon juice may also enhance the taste.
Tea and Herb bath bags
Tea has been in use as a tea tonic for centuries, for its ability to remove impurities, protect and tone the skin. Herbs are absorbed through the skin when bathing in a full body bath. Any herb that can be taken internally, can also be used in a bath.
