Herbal Teas.
Herbal tea can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes. Seeds and roots can also be boiled on a stove. The herbal tea is then strained and sweetened if so desired, preferably with honey.
Herbal teas have been used medicinally for centuries, particularly by Native Americans, the Egyptians and the Chinese. Herbs have been our companions for ages. They have healed, soothed pain and improved well-being for many centuries before tea leaves and coffee tree beans were discovered. Although we cannot deny the progress in modern medicine, herbs are still very valuable remedies for many ailments.
