The Health Benefits Of Drinking Herbal Tea
I am a true tea lover! I absolutely love drinking hot tea and for me it doesn't matter if it is cold outside or not, I drink it on the regular because the health benefits are truly amazing and the taste and aromas are awesome! I keep it very simple, I just add a little raw agave and organic lemon, some people use raw honey and that is fine but I don't because I am vegan so I prefer the raw agave which is the natural plant based sweetner from the cactus plant and I tell you, it's delicious!
Here are the teas and their benefits:
1. Peppermint Tea- relieves the symptoms of abdominal gas, bloating, and muscle spasams.
2. Ginger Tea- It stops nausea , vomitting, upset stomach due to motion sickness, and it helps with menstrual cramps.
