Do you enjoy Herbal Teas and do they work?

I love herbal teas. I picked up some nice ones in China after we attended a tea ceremony. I’m not sure they do anything but warm me up and calm me down, but I like the much better than standard tea.

I am an herbal tea maven. I drink:

-black and green tea, ginseng and yerba mate for mental stimulation
-mint and ginger for nausea or sore throats
-echinacea for colds
-hibiscus (also called jamaica) for hydration
-chamomile, valerian for anxiety and to get to sleep
-red chili powder tea for sinus congestion!

My mom taught me to love tea, and all kinds. I’ll pretty much drink anything, and when I’m sick, I strictly drink HOT tea all day long. My faves are chamomile, black, green, Earl Grey, some really peppy pom tea, too.

I wish I could remember them and their functions like bookish1 does.

@KNOWITALL I read that as porn tea loll

Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals is awesome. Simply nothing better for a sore throat. Here’s a review: http://voicecouncil.com/throat-coat-tea-review/

Ginger tea by the same brand is a good one for warming you up, or for an upset stomach.

I love them.

Peppermint Tea for upset tummies is very helpful.

Chamomile for anxiety.

@Shippy LMAO…..pomegranate!!

@Shippy: I did too. @KNOWITALL: Porn grenade?

“I’d catch a porn grenade for you”

Question 1 yes
Question 2 no

I like mint, chamomile, and various zingers. I do not drink to make them work. I like the taste.

oOh. I love teas.

Licorice i gave to a friend for cankersores. But I use it as digestive.

Ginger is great for a cold.

Chamomile for sleep.

Dandelion for liver function

I also use throat coat but I think I prefer lemon ginger honey or apple cider vinegar for my throat.

Lavender calming or soothing

Blueberry appetite suppressent

Mint for taste probably digestion too

I like raspberry as well and chai and rooibus as well as yerba mattes and green and black. Every now and again a white, but the taste is really delicate and I prefer something fuller bodied.

I want to try matcha but I not as of yet. Oh and those tapoica teas are a yummy treat.

@KNOWITALL wonders what the porn tea is good for

@Shippy After you drink it the tea leaves form a nice nude in the bottom of your tea cup?

@KNOWITALL yes like a fortune thingy.

They seem to have a lot of benefits. I myself do not enjoy hot tea though.

I love them but I drink them mostly just for the taste, mainly because I love fruit flavours but find fruit juice to be too sweet. Fruity teas give me the flavour without a ton of sugar. I do find that anything containing ginger or mint helps with nausea or digestive problems. Ginger and lemon is good for a cold too. Cranberry for protection against UTIs.

I drink yerba mate (in the traditional way), mint tea, chamomile, blackcurrant, peach… I drink them all for their flavour, but yerba mate is a great alternative for coffee and it gives you an energy boost
