A cup of hot chai for good health!

Chamomile is a popular herb that’s used in teas worldwide. Chamomile soothes the stomach and relieves bloating and indigestion. Chamomile also calms the mind and helps people relax and deal better with their stresses. Chamomile is known to fight insomnia by relaxing the body and the mind, enabling the person to fall asleep naturally.

Ginger tea both stimulates and soothes the digestive system. Ginger has been known to aid people experiencing nausea. Arthritic people have found ginger tea helpful since it has anti-inflammatory properties. Probably that’s why, Adrak wali chai is the most used phrase in Indian households.

Lavender tea is made out of the dried purple, pink and white colored flowers that grow on lavender shrubs. A cup of lavender tea can soothe your mind and body, inducing sleep. It helps soothe and treat flatulence, colic, bowel infections and an upset stomach.

Dried Hibiscus flowers are made into a tea that is known to lower blood pressure, reduce high cholesterol and strengthen the immune system (it’s rich in Vitamin C). Hibiscus flower infusions have known to reduce hypertension as well.  A recent study reveals that hibiscus tea is rich in antioxidants, which protect the body against cell-damaging free radicals.

PS: Marijuana is a herb too and they make weed tea!
