Herbal teas are a great way to get through the dark and dreary winters. When you’re stuck at home, struggling to get up in the morning dark, or trying to relax in the evening, these herbal teas will help soothe your body and your mind. Here are four herbal teas you should try.

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea is both energizing and relaxing. Its fresh taste will wake you up in the morning and increase your optimism. At the same time, it also helps you relax, combats stress and anxiety, and aids digestive problems.

Chamomile

One of the most soothing of all, chamomile tea is a classic when it comes to silky smooth herbal tea. Its sweet fragrance and refreshing taste will help you feel calm, relaxed, and happy. Drinking chamomile tea regularly can improve your mood and help you be more optimistic.

Good Morning everyone. Hope you are all well and safe! I am obsessed with taking flatlay pictures. It is not as easy as you think! Flatlays are creative, inspiring and a great way to evoke a visual interest. Today I am willing to grab your attention in to the benefits of chamomile tea: Chamomile is generally safe for people who are not allergic to it. It helps to sleep better especially when you are tired. It aids digestion and it can be given to small children to ease tummy discomfort. It has loads of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. . Try it with honey and you will love it! . . #flatlayphotography #flatlay #flatlaythebest #creativecups #creativeflorals #creativephotography #photooftheday #chamomile #chamomiletea #tea #herbalife #herbalteas #chamomille #chamomilla #بابونج #شاي #photooftheday #photodujour #flatlays #flatlaycontest #contentcreator #contentdevelopment #healthylifestyle #healthydrinks #herbs #herbalifenutrition

Ginger

Ginger tea is a spicy, zany option that is packed full of healthy nutrients that will improve your immune system and warm you on a cold day. Ginger is also very effective at reducing nausea, morning sickness, and at reducing pain.

Lavender

Lavender tea is a beautifully calming and relaxing brew. It calms the nerves, and it can improve sleep and skin conditions.

H E R B A L I N F U S I O N S Herbal infusions are one of my favourite ways to take my herbs. I enjoy the ritual of making a herbal tea and taking 5 minutes out of my day to focus on the task at hand.

Infusions are the process of steeping/soaking herbs in hot or cold water until the water absorbs all the flavours, phytochemicals and water soluble constituents and then consuming the liquid either for the medicinal value or taste. The amount of time you steep your herbs depends on the potency you desire and can be anywhere between 5 minutes to 1 hour.

Herbal infusions are usually made with the delicate parts of plants – leaves, flowers and non-woody stems. They are a great option for those who choose not to consume herbal tinctures due to their alcohol content.

? A go-to calming infusion of mine includes: Chamomile Lemon Balm Lavender It nourishes the nervous system and is great after dinner to support digestion. 

✨What’s your favourite herbal infusion?
