Drinking tea on a daily basis may just be another wonderful and calming way to significantly improve your mood , skin , sleep , digestion , energy , and so much more ! Here are the top recommended teas :
Chamomile tea : Calming and soothing , chamomile tea is helpful for insomnia , to help with digestion after a meal , great for coughs and bronchitis when you have a cold or fever . Be sure to purchase a good quality tea and steep well , as many chamomile teas can be cheap and weak , often requiring two bags per cup .
Peppermint tea : Perfect for anything to do with digestion ( However , not recommended if heartburn is present ): To relieve nausea , abdominal gas and bloating , muscle spasms , and to help promote body heating up ( sweating ) to break colds and fever .
Ginger honey tea : This tea is a great detoxifier to support liver function and relieve toxicity . Ginger can be used to curb nausea and upset stomach ; combined with lemon , honey and cinnamon , it makes for the perfect germfighting concoction . Fresh , organic ginger is recommended , a thin slice is all that ’ s needed .
Rosehip tea : Feeling under the weather , or just can ’ t kick that cold ? Rosehip is one of the best sources of Vitamin C , and a master at boosting the immune system and adrenal function . Great for skin issues as well .
Lemon balm tea : Plan to grow this in your garden next spring ! This tea can help improve mood and concentration , and is often recommended for those with Alzheimers . Lemon balm helps lift the spirits and thus it ’ s one of the best winter teas to enjoy with a bit of honey .
Green tea : Often refered to as “ black tea ’ s little sister ,” green tea comes from the same Camellia sinensis leaves , just picked young and tender and immediately heat-treated to stop fermentation . Green tea is full of antioxidants , and it ’ s so good for us that even the American Institute for Cancer Research says it “ may ward off everything from cancer to heart disease .” One study found that drinking a cup of green tea daily may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by 10 percent .•
