Healing Tea Recipes & Herbal Tea Blends
Medicinal herbs have been around for as long as the human species. Today, 25% (depending on who you ask) of pharmaceutical drugs have plant derivatives. Before modern drugs, herbs were the primary source of medicine.
Herbs, as a medicine, take two major paths in the body.
As Nutrition
The first, the most beneficial, is herbs as a high dose of nutrition. Many illnesses stem from the body’s lack of nutrition. Herbs have vitamins and minerals that are the building supplies your body needs to create proper immunity, brain function, organ function, hormones, etc. The list goes on for what the body does with these nutritive materials. Magnesium is required in over 300 functions that your body conducts every day. Your body is always rebuilding. Imagine, for a moment rebuilding your house without nails. That job became a pain, and living without nutrients forces your body to do the same.
As a Signal to the Body
The second major path of herbs in your body is to evoke a function. In this case, we take an herb that contains a compound that forces the body to make a signal and start operating differently. An example is the use of bitter herbs to reduce appetite. Your tongue tastes bitter and instantly signals to the brain that a toxin has entered the body. Your body does associate bitterness with toxins, so the current operations of your stomach and intestines change to prepare for something less than optimal for the body. This includes reducing your appetite so that you’ll stop eating.
Important Note: While medicinals like bitters can also provide nutrition, putting the body through this stress daily is not necessarily good unless the benefits outweigh the stress. Herbs that change the function of your body by methods other than providing building materials (nutrition) should be approached by a professional herbalist.
Now that we have the important part out of the way let’s get to the fun. Below is Rhoot’s continually growing list of medicinal herbal tea recipes. We will add to this list regularly as, in Rhoot’s opinion; teas are the easiest and most fun way to access herbs and their nutrients.
