5 Healthy Herbal Tea You Can Try At Home

I am a tea drinker and I love tea very much, I also love to try new flavored herbal teas. From our regular chai tea that we drink almost daily at home to exotic strawberry tea, I love them all. I love teas not only because they taste good but also because they are very very healing. Since most of the ingredients used in making these healing teas are at home, it is so very easy to make them.

I also use teas extensively as a remedy, they are really effective and you don’t get the feeling that you are taking a medicine. Two days back my son got a severe sore throat, he couldn’t swallow any food. I know licorice is the best for sore throat and treats the inflammation and pain very quickly. I immediately made him licorice tea as I always have licorice root at home. All I did was serve it to him in a nice glass before he went to bed claiming it is a very good tasting herbal tea, he drank it readily and said it tasted good.

As I expected he was better the next day morning. If you get to know to make herbal teas at home, I promise you it will save you so many trips to the hospital. Most minor illnesses from sore throat to indigestion can be successfully treated at home and some teas like turmeric tea even aid in weight loss. I wanted to compile all the herbal tea recipes in a single post so it will useful for everyone.

# Turmeric Tea

This is my favorite tea as it has so many benefits, it treats inflammation, acne, cold, cough, sore throat and even aids in weight loss. I have never been without turmeric at home and turmeric is one ingredient I use often in remedies. I have made this tea with fresh turmeric roots but you can use organic dried powders too.

# Hibiscus Tea

This beautiful red colored tea is actually very famous in certain countries and is served almost daily during summer time. This hibiscus tea has been proven to lower blood pressure. It also greatly improves immunity and prevents skin aging.

# Tulsi Tea

I drink tulsi tea fairly often as I really love the fresh smell and also because I have lot of fresh tulsi plants in our farm. This tea is so very refreshing and anyone can make it and also anyone can have it as this tea does not even need any sweetener at all. Tulsi tea is a good remedy for sore throat, indigestion and stress, it also improves immunity. You can find the link to the post listing it’s benefits.

# Licorice Tea

Like I mentioned above licorice tea is my go to remedy for sore throat and for me it works so well. Next time you have sore throat try drinking licorice tea. Licorice is very sweet and can be given even to children but this tea should only be used as a medicine and not on a regular basis.

# Fennel Tea

Fennel tea is the best tea for treating bloating and it also can be used for colicky babies. Since we have fennel always at home as we use it in our gravies, this tea is very popular in our place for treating flatulence.
