There’s nothing more satisfying than a good cup of tea. And, we all have our fave brew.
But did you know, you can actually boost your health by sipping the right blend too? Here’s how…
To boost your immunity.
Instead of clutching for the painkillers next time you’re feeling a tad under the weather, pop the kettle on instead. Classic combos like ginger and echinacea can help kick that cold to the curb due to their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. Plus, ginger is great for digestion too!
To cleanse and detoxify.
You know that feeling when you’ve eaten just a tad too much? Ease that bloated feeling and support your liver by sipping on blends containing natural detoxifiers like milk thistle, lemongrass, ginger and dandelion.
To relax and recharge.
If you’re someone who regularly finds yourself feeling frazzled, it might be time to enjoy a calming cuppa! Opt for loose leaf teas infused with lavender, lemon balm or chamomile which help to calm the nervous system and aid sleep.
To energise.
Instead of ordering another long black, turn to tea next time you need an extra dose of energy. Green tea not only contains a truckload of antioxidants, it also contains caffeine for a subtle kick of energy (without the jitters that so often accompany coffee). For an even bigger boost, find a green tea blend containing ginseng which further eases fatigue and boosts circulation.
