Herbal Tea Information:
An herbal tea, tisane, or ptisan
is an herbal infusion made from anything other than the leaves
of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis), which originates from
both China and the Middle East.
Herbal tea has been imbibed nearly as long as written history
extends. Also known as a tisane or herbal infusion, an herbal
tea is simply the combination of boiling water and dried
fruit, flower or herb. Documents have been recovered dating
back to as early as Ancient Egypt that discuss the enjoyment
and uses of herbal tea.
CHAMOMILE TEA
For centuries, people who’ve felt sick or stressed have tried
drinking chamomile tea as a medicinal cure-all. Now,
researchers in England have found new evidence that the
popular herbal tea may actually help relieve a wide range of
health ailments, including colds and menstrual cramps.
The herbal plant German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) was
used in a study by the American Chemical Society. German
chamomile is also known as manzanilla, whose flowers and
leaves are brewed as a fragrant, flavorful tea. The study
involved fourteen volunteers (seven women and seven men) who
each drank five cups of the herbal tea daily for two
consecutive weeks. Daily urine samples were taken and tested
throughout the study, both before and after drinking chamomile
tea.
The researchers found that drinking the tea was associated
with a significant increase in urinary levels of hippurate, a
breakdown product of certain plant-based compounds known as
phenolics, some of which have been associated with increased
antibacterial activity. This could help explain why the tea
appears to boost the immune system and fight infections
associated with colds, according to the researchers.
PEPPERMINT TEA
Peppermint has menthol, as it’s active ingredient. Menthol
helps ease diarrhea, headaches and colic in babies. Peppermint
also contains B vitamins, calcium, and potassium.
Peppermint essential oil menthol is known to promote digestion
and help prevent gallstones. It soothes the stomach lining
relieving stomach cramps. The B vitamins in menthol help
improve concentration and performance in the brain and nerves.
There are several ways to use peppermint to aid in natural
healing of various ailments. Peppermint can be prepared as a
tea, to use in baths or drink.
To relieve stomachaches drink one cup of peppermint tea after
meals, you can add one quart of tea to a bath to help treat
skin ailments. Peppermint tea is also good for sore throats
just gargle several times per day.
To Prepare tea to help alleviate stomach cramps, you will need
1/2 ounce peppermint leaves, 1/4 ounce camellia leaves. Use 1
teaspoon of this mixture per one cup of tea. Blend mixture and
boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, then strain.
To Prepare Tea to help alleviate stomach aches, you will need
6 ounces peppermint leave, 6 ounces lemon-balm leaves, and 6
ounces fennel seeds. Use 1 teaspoon of mixture per one cup of
water. Blend mixture and boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes,
then strain.
Peppermint tea has been used throughout the ages and has
worked in the past and continues to provide excellent results
today.
Chamomile and Peppermint are the two most recognized varieties
of herbal tea. Most herbs that are used in cooking can be used
as an ingredient for tea. Many people are surprised to find
that lavender is also brewed as a tisane, known to be good for
a sore throat.
