[ Similarly the Cardamom tea or Elaichi
chai helps, for it eases stomach
cramp, stimulates digestion, and
reduces gas and flatulence.
Cardamom is the queen of spices and
the flavour is absolutely ecstatic.
[ Fennel tea (Saunf ki chai) is beneficial
for appetite, and also soothes sore
throat and cough.
[ Ginger tea helps improve circulation,
relieves cold and flu, and regulates
blood sugar.
[ Rosemary tea is good for joint pain
and headache. Also stimulates liver.
[ Green tea has a super effect on health
as this tea inhibits the growth of
Cancer cells. It is a powerful anti
oxidant, kills Cancer cells without
damaging the healthy cells, reduces
the Cholesterol level, and helps to
reduce thrombosis.
[ Cranberry tea is good for Urinary tract
infections. Drinking one or two cups
of herbal tea is very beneficial for
health and is the solution for many
daily problems like stress, indigestion,
cough, cold, bad circulation etc. If you
drink more than one cup of coffee per
day, try replacing some of that coffee
with herbal tea. Most herbal tea
doesn’t have caffeine. However green
tea does. But green tea too has many
health benefits.
The traditional Indian chai prepared with
milk is actually considered toxic and that’s
why I always stayed away from it. But
herbal tea sans milk is quite the opposite
and considered to be a great detoxifier. In
fact, it has been found that herbal tea
helps to cut the body fat by 50%, and is an
extremely effective energy drink.
I’ll admit it; I’ve not always been the biggest
fan of herbal teas. Sometimes, they can
taste very plain. But time and again, I have
stumbled upon a blend that changes my
mind. It’s possible for caffeine-free blends
to be every bit as delicious as a tea-based
one. Sometimes, it just takes a bit of trial
and error. And considering the benefits that
they bring to us, it's worth every bit.
