When it comes to medicinal tea, I believe that it is a type of tea that is made from the leaves and roots of plants other than the traditional tea plant.
Medicinal tea has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to promote health, wellness and relaxation. Medicinall tea can be consumed hot or cold , but I would pefer it hot. It could also be sweetened or unsweetened (using honey), and it can be enjoyed on their own or blended with other herbs and spices.
Since medicinal teas are beneficial, it is essential to firat of all consult with a health care professional before using any herbal remedies especially if you have underlying health conditions or allergies.
Secondly,, Follow proper preparation and close instructions before preparing such medicinal tea. You also need to be aware of potential interactions of component key ingredients with medications or other health conditions.
Medicinal tea can be categorized into several types based on rheir functionality. Some of which include;
#1. Digestive teas
We have peppermint, ginger, and vinegar tea, these can aid digestion, relieve nausea, and soothe stomach issues.
#2. Women's health tea
These include raspberry, leaf tea, red clover tea, and neem leaf tea. They help with menstrual health, fertility and menopause symptoms especially when taken the right way.
