5 Healing Herbal Teas You Can Make Yourself

There is nothing like a warm tea to soothe a tired soul. It warms from the inside out and relaxes us when we feel stressed.
But tea is more than a warm drink. It is also an old remedy to many ailments and sicknesses. Tea, especially herbal tea, has many benefits, and just the preparation of this drink proves to have a relaxing effect. By making your own herbal tea at home, you can enjoy it at any time and make the right kind of tea to suit the need at hand.

Herbal tea usually has little to no caffeine. Unlike black, green and oolong teas, herbal tea does not come from the leaves of the tea plant. It comes from leaves, roots, seeds and bark of various herbs – many of which are easy to grow in your home garden.

If you need a tea with which to relax, try making one with camomile. If you need a tea to lift your mood, then lavender, thyme and spearmint are known to help. Sometimes, all we need is a nice warm drink to soothe achy muscles, or to ward off a cold, or even to help a sore stomach. Let’s look at a few common ailments, and what kind of herbal tea we can make to soothe it.

Keep in mind: One teaspoon of leaves or herbs equals the amount for one cup of tea. This will help you measure how much you need to make.

Here are five herbal teas you can make at home:
