Do you know the health benefits of herbal teas?
Herbal teas have many benefits. There’s a reason why grandmothers always recommend a cup of chamomile tea before bed. However, do you know all the benefits of herbal teas?
Antioxidant effect
Antioxidants are natural molecules capable of preventing and repairing cell damage. They can be found in fruits, vegetables, supplements, and the plants we use to make teas and herbal infusions. They are known to slow down the aging process.
Improves digestion
Among their most well-known benefits, herbal teas have digestive properties; plants such as chamomile, mint, ginger, artichoke, boldo, and fennel not only aid digestion but also speed up metabolism by stimulating peristalsis and quickly activating the digestive process.
It is important to recognize the difference between herbal infusions and teas, since teas contain theine—an active ingredient in tea that is equivalent to caffeine—and therefore have different properties than herbal infusions.
Prevents or reduces fluid retention
On the other hand, there are herbal teas that have a significant diuretic effect, such as artichoke, fennel, and hibiscus. Diuretics help the body eliminate fluid by increasing urine production. In this way, the body is able to cleanse itself and get rid of excess salt that can increase or cause fluid retention.
They help you relax and reduce stress levels
Another beneficial property of some herbal teas is their relaxing effect. These types of teas—such as linden, valerian, chamomile, and lavender, among others—are recommended for people who tend to suffer from anxiety disorders, as they reduce stress levels, producing an effect opposite to that of caffeine or theine. These types of herbal teas have a long history across civilizations around the world thanks to their anxiety-relieving effects.
Improve the quality of your sleep
One of the most important benefits of herbal teas, thanks to their relaxing effect, is improved sleep quality. Drinking an herbal tea before bed helps the body transition more easily into the natural sleep process, ensuring a deeper and more restful sleep.
