Herbal tea

Comforting and aromatic, herbal teas allow us to enjoy their medicinal properties according to our desires. While each plant is unique, we can mix plants according to our needs for even more effectiveness. There are options for all tastes and the whole family.

The secrets of herbal tea

From ready-made sachets to loose seeds and flowers, herbal teas are everywhere, both in our supermarkets and in organic shops. They can be consumed at any time of the day, instead of tea or coffee according to our preferences. Thyme, linden, agastache, fennel, chamomile, nettle, sage... The list of plants is long, as is that of their benefits.

What are herbal teas made of?

To make herbal teas, aromatic and medicinal plants are used. Depending on the plant, flowers, seeds, or roots are used. Indeed, each part of the plants has specific properties.

How to make an organic herbal tea?

To make an herbal tea, you can use two methods:

  • Decoction, which consists of putting the plant in cold water and then bringing it to a boil.
  • Infusion, which on the contrary, requires pouring dried plants into non-boiling water.

For decoction, the water must remain boiling for a few minutes (depending on the plant and/or part used). Once cooled, it should be filtered before consumption. Infusion is much simpler, as you just need to let the plant steep for a few minutes in a cup to drink the tea while still hot.

Where to find plants for herbal tea?

Herbal tea plants can be found in several places:

  • In supermarkets with ready-to-use infusions.
  • At the pharmacy.
  • In an organic herb shop preferably.
  • Online.
  • Simply in your garden.

Whether in bags or loose, herbal tea comes in many forms. However, try to choose organic infusions, which contain fewer pesticides than others.

Why drink herbal tea?

Besides its pleasant taste and the well-being it brings, herbal tea has health attributes that should not be overlooked. Perhaps the best known is its effect on digestion. It's no wonder that cups of digestive herbal tea come out at the end of the evening meal! Anise and lemon balm are excellent candidates for this. Organic lemon balm leaves to soothe stomach aches, and anise to alleviate bloating and intestinal discomfort.

Plant and garden

If you have a garden, don't hesitate to make your own infusions. The aromatic plants we use in our dishes can also heal us. So, feel free to plant thyme, sage, or mint. No garden? Turn to organic bagged or loose infusions.

Precautions for use

Medicinal plants contain active ingredients. While these are good for health, care must be taken to respect the dosage and seek advice from a pharmacist or herbalist. Some plants can be dangerous for children and pregnant women. They can also conflict with medical treatments. As treating oneself with plants is not always simple, you can also find advice and opinions in an online organic herb shop, but if in doubt, the opinion of a health professional is recommended.
