What is Herbal Tea

Herbal tea is an extract of herbs brewed in the same way as regular tea.
Herbal teas typically consist of dried flowers, berries, spices or fruits, and in some cases roots and bark.
The most popular are ginger tea, chamomile tea, hibiscus tea and nettle tea.
As herbal tea does not contain leaves from the Camelia Sinensis tea bush, it should not be confused with traditional tea.
This type of tea is therefore, as the name suggests, based on herbs.
Herbal teas are also called tisanes, which originates from the Latin word ptisane and from the Ancient Greek πτισάνη [ptisánē].

How to make herbal tea

Herbal teas can be made from virtually any edible, non-toxic herb(here’s a list).
Herbal teas are raw or partially prepared raw materials from plants.
This is why herbal teas have been used for centuries as a medicine and drug – which is a thing of the past.
Why herbal tea is no longer used as medicine.
The arguably most famous herbal tea has its roots in ancient Egypt.
The first mention of an herb being enjoyed was chamomile in the Ebers Papyrus, dating back to 1550 BC.
Here, chamomile was used to honor the gods, embalm the dead and heal the sick.
This light, sweet, apple-like and floral drink is still notorious for its calming effect.
In particular, serving a warm cup of chamomile tea after a sore throat or runny nose is popular advice.

A universe of tea

Is it a diuretic?

Some herbs used in popular herbal teas have a reputation for being diuretic, such as
stinging nettle.
However, this is not a general property of all these teas.
Many people with high blood pressure are put on diuretic medication to reduce their blood pressure levels.
However, herbs known to be diuretic can interfere with diuretic medication and should always be discussed with a doctor before use, precisely because the side effects can worsen blood pressure too much.
Diuretic herbs can also be used to e.g.
to stimulate metabolism and weight loss, however, you should first consult your doctor for advice on whether this will help you.
In general, long-term weight loss goals are achieved with a healthy varied diet and an exercise program.
