For centuries, tea has been touted and highly sought after for its beneficial properties. The common kinds of tea you find in the supermarket aren’t always that “organic” anymore, which means a lot of the beneficial aspects might be lacking. The benefits are varied depending on the ingredients used, but we’ve gone into detail about some of the most common benefits to be found in organic herbal tea. 

1. Reduces Bloating

Being bloated is never fun – it’s an uncomfortable feeling that persists even if you’re just chilling out on the couch. Bloating can be avoided by not ingesting trigger foods, but sometimes it just can’t be helped. When that’s the case, a great solution is drinking herbal tea. Tea helps with a lot of digestive issues, and can relieve bloating by keeping the bile duct active, which in turn promotes better digestion and limits bloating. 

Taste Kaleidoscope Teas and Teawares has a great digestive tea: Ginger Honeybush & Lemon Myrtle Tea. Made from ingredients indiginous to both Australia and South Africa, this tea is good for both digestion and fortification. 

2. De-Stressing and Relaxation

With life the way it is, it’s very common that most of us exist in a constant state of activity. As a result, it can be difficult to find the off switch to be able to just sit down and relax when we’re not doing anything. There are plenty of organic teas that have calming ingredients such as peppermint, chamomile, or lemongrass and all of these are great choices to help you unwind after long and stressful days.

3. Great for Skin and Hair

Herbal teas can both hydrate and add a youthful, healthy shine to both skin and hair. It’s important to note that this is really only true with herbal teas, as caffeinated teas can deplete moisture as well as energy. Teas with ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and lemongrass will stimulate your body’s purification processes, leading to clearer skin and healthier hair. 

A fantastic choice for this benefit is the Bewitching Butterfly Pea Tea by Neo Organic Tea, as it enhances the luster of both skin and hair!

4. Balancing Hormones

Hormones can really influence women of all ages, but thankfully there are some teas (green in particular) that can help a great deal with inflammation, anxiety, stress, acne, and bloating. Balanced hormones can lead to calmer moods and an ability to relax, so these teas are definitely something to add to the pantry!

5. Immune System Boosters

Teas have long been known to help boost the immune system against things like the common cold and flu. They help to ease the symptoms and can even help to alleviate respiratory symptoms. Teas with a lot of antioxidants are good for boosting the immune system, though teas that have ginger, hibiscus, and cayenne can also help as well.
