5. Calming Sage Leaf Tea
This is a must for those of you with a busy schedule. Maybe you have more work than you have time for, or there’s something on your mind that’s making it difficult to relax. Stress actually releases hormones which can mess with blood sugar levels, increasing appetite as well as fat stored in the body. Sage Leaf is considered remedial in issues of the brain and nervous system, acting as a general relaxant and reducing muscle tension. There is also evidence that Sage improves memory, soothes joint pain and relieves nervous headaches. Needless to say, Sage Infusion makes an essential tea to have during a hectic day!
4. Green Tea with Apple Cider Vinegar
Perhaps this year you made a resolution to be healthier and eat more cleanly? In terms of aiding weight loss, Green Tea is unbeatable, and Apple Cider Vinegar is also a powerful weight loss aid. So, in blending the two you create the ultimate tool in shedding the pounds while enjoying a relaxing, hot beverage. We know how tiring weight loss regimens can be, but this drink’s energy boosting effects will keep you going through the day. Anyone disheartened by lack of results when they step onto the scales, this is for you.
3. Chrysanthemum Tea
This is another Hug-in-a-Mug for those of you feeling under the weather or looking to improve performance. However, you might be surprised at some of the other benefits of drinking Chrysanthemum tea such as acne prevention and improved liver health. Despite being naturally caffeine-free, Chrysanthemum Tea improves alertness and even takes the place of coffee in Korea. It also provides relief to sore throats and respiratory problems and its cooling properties mean that it can actually prevent influenza!
2. Turmeric Toxin Buster Tea
We’ve all seen Turmeric trending recently, but there is a reason behind the vast interest in this yellow spice, something long since known in Ayurveda. Not only does Turmeric dramatically increase the antioxidant capacity of the body, making us more equipped at fighting illness and staying healthy, Turmeric contains Curcumin which is known for its miraculous effects on the body in its own right. Curcumin works on the brain, improving function and fighting depression, and Arthritis and Alzheimer’s patients have even responded well to its use. Truly the miracle tea on our list, absolutely everyone can benefit from having a sip.
