4 Herbal Medicine Tea Recipes to Boost Your Health

When it comes to modern day living, many of us have gotten away from nature in so many ways. Our homes are filled with electronics, our smartphones are always in hand, and when we are sick, we turn to our doctors for medicine which is made in labs. However, nature has so much to offer to humans. Not just in health, but for the sake of this blog, we will focus on the health benefits of plants found in nature. In this blog, we will outline four simple DIY herbal tea recipes that you can make at home to support longevity, immunity, and overall vitality.

One of the reasons our team love herbal tea recipes is because plants contain compounds that the body can recognize and use for supporting health. Many plants contain naturally balanced ratios of minerals and other co factors to help with absorption. This is not the case with drugs that contain synthetic isolated compounds.
