The Power of Teas

Tea is a delicious drink that comes in so many varieties but can also have so many health benefits. We use teas to wake us up, to keep us warm, during social hours, to satisfy a craving, but how about to lose weight, cure an upset stomach, or a headache? I use sleepy time tea by Celestial to go to bed, I prefer to use this method as I can wake up refreshed compared to taking a pill or conventional medicine that makes you drowsy. I am a firm believer in using supplemental/herbal remedies to aid conventional drugs. So try out some teas and learn all of the great things they can do for you!

  • Green Tea: Boosts metabolism, contains antioxidants, energy boost, and burns fast.
  • Black Tea: Reduces the risk of stroke(we NEED this), improves cardiovascular health, stress relief, better immune system
  • White Tea: is unfermented making it the most potent tea in preventing cancer. 
  • Oolong Tea: lowers bad cholesterol, aids weight loss

Herbal Teas such as ginger, gingko biloba, ginseng, hibiscus, jasmine, rosehip, mint, rooibos, chamomile, and echinacea are made from herbs, roots, seeds or fruits, and benefits are mostly the same but are backed by limited research. They claim to shed pounds, strengthen immune systems, and help you sleep.


Celestial is my favorite brand of teas, and can be found at most grocery and major retail stores! But, try out some different brands and see what you like, there is so many great flavors to try. Tea makes your soul feel good so brew a cup and let it do its magic. 

Be Strong,
Morgan
