There are very few things that can't be instantly fixed with a hot cup of tea. This is especially true for herbal tea, which unlike true tea, is not made with tea leaves but instead with dried flowers, roots, spices, herbs and fruits. Therefore, herbal tea is caffeine free and a good remedy for mental and physical quandaries. Rich with aroma, herbal teas are unlike any other type of tea including green tea and black tea in its healing prowess, as it is great for improving the digestive system, fighting flu-like symptoms, and fighting stress or anxiety. One of the biggest reasons why herbal teas are favoured by health practitioners is that they are excellent for boosting your immunity. They also help with digestion, weight loss, nausea, inflammation and more.

Some of the key benefits of herbal tea

Rich in Antioxidants: As herbal tea is not caffeinated, it is filled with antioxidants due to the high levels of polyphenols found in the flowers, fruits, roots, herbs and spices that it contains. These antioxidants prevent free radical damage and help fight major illnesses, keeping the body heavy and the mind fresh. Because the oxidation process in the body is delayed, it allows the cells in your body to remain younger for a longer period of time and therefore, slows down the aging process.

Helps with Weight Loss: Herbal teas made with lemon, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, carom seeds, cilantro, turmeric and lemongrass are great for boosting metabolism in your body, and therefore, favoured by fitness experts. For anyone intending to go on a weight loss journey, herbal tea is not only a delicious choice but also an effective one that gives quick results. Especially when combined with a workout regime, herbal teas work as a natural detox that aids in burning existing fat and accumulating more.
