How to Make an Herbal Tea for Digestion

How to Make an Herbal Tea for Digestion



I don't know about you, but when I have a big meal, I don't really feel that great afterwards. I'm tired, sluggish and I feel really full. All of the energy my body has left is being used for the digestive process and it seems to suck the life out of me.

Thankfully, I've learned that there are certain herbs out there that help with digestion. Any herb that has bitter properties, such as dandelion leaf (which can be pretty strong) or chamomile (which has mild bitter properties) are great for digestion. The bitter principals in these plants help stimulate the digestive juices. When consumed before, during and/or after a large meal, it can really help keep your energy up because it helps the digestive system do its job even faster.

I have a favorite tea blend that I reach for to help my digestion. This blend includes herbs that are readily available to me. I pick dandelion leaves in the spring and early summer and let them dry to use year round. In addition to having a mild bitter action, chamomile can also help ease stomach aches and cramps. The peppermint and spearmint are included to help flavor the blend, ease flatulence and help control any muscle spasms.

This recipe is written using the simpler's method, which means that the measurement is calculated in "parts." Just choose a measurement such as a teaspoon or a tablespoon to use in place of the "parts." So if you choose a teaspoon and the ingredient reads "2 parts peppermint," you'll add 2 tsp. of peppermint to the blend.







Things You'll Need:





3 Parts dried chamomile flowers




2 Parts dried dandelion leaves




1 Part dried peppermint leaves




1 Part dried spearmint leaves




Airtight container









1


Take some time to find the highest quality herbs you can. If you are able to pick and dry your own, do so. If not, find a reputable source in your area. You can also order online. Check Resources below for a link to my favorite supplier, Mountain Rose Herbs.





2


Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir gently with a wooden spoon.





3


Transfer to an airtight container such as a mason jar or a plastic storage container. Cover and store in a cool, dark and dry place.





4


When ready to drink, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 tsp. of the herb. You may want to use a tea strainer to make it easier. You can have one cup before your meal, one during, and/or one after.








Tips & Warnings










Make sure to see a doctor if you're in a lot of pain or if you have symptoms such as severe heartburn or stomach aches.








Consult with a physician before taking any of these plants, just to make sure it's safe.

How to Make an Herbal Tea Blend for Strong Nails

How to Make an Herbal Tea Blend for Strong Nails



My nails have a tendency to peel and crack. I've learned that if I feed my body with the right minerals, my nails get a lot stronger. So, I created this herbal tea blend to help fix my problem.

A few years ago I started drinking this blend several times a day. After about a month, my nails were stronger and longer than ever. The key to this tea is that it is rich in a mineral called silica. Our modern diet is depleted of this mineral because of soil quality. It seems that adding more of it to my diet really helps my nails. Here is how to make it.







Things You'll Need:





3 tbsp. chamomile flowers




2 tbsp. spearmint




2 tbsp. oatstraw




1 tbsp. stinging nettle




1 tbsp. horsetail




Medium mixing bowl




Wooden spoon




Airtight container









1


Add all of the herbs to the mixing bowl and stir gently with the wooden spoon. Make sure all of the herbs are high quality.





2


Transfer the herbs to an airtight container. I like amber glass jars, but a plastic container works just fine.





3


Cover the container and shake it well. You'll want to shake it once or twice before you measure out the herbs for your tea. As the herbs sit, they settle. In this blend, the chamomile flowers will likely rise to the top.





4


To make the herbal tea, use 1.5 teaspoons for every cup of water. You can make a few cups in advance and store it in the fridge.








Tips & Warnings










I love this blend iced.








Make sure you see a doctor to rule out all possible causes of your weak nails.

How to Make an Herbal Tea Blend for Stress

How to Make an Herbal Tea Blend for Stress



I've created an herbal tea blend that is designed to calm me down when I'm under stress. In the beginning stages I opt for something gentle that will help nourish my nervous system, and if I deal with the stress early, it won't escalate into a bigger problem. Left untreated, chronic stress can lead to a host of health problems including anxiety, high blood pressure and weight gain.

The thing I like about this blend is that it is gentle and safe to use every day. I love the taste of it by itself. However, a drop of honey also makes it taste very good. Here is how to make it--so you too--can de-stress the next time you're feeling the pressure.







Things You'll Need:





3 tbsp. oatstraw




2 tbsp. chamomile flowers




2 tbsp. rose petals




1 tbsp. spearmint




1 tbsp. lemon




Small mixing bowl




Wooden spoon




Airtight container









1


Make sure that you find the highest quality herbs available. I like Mountain Rose Herbs (see link in Resources below).





2


Add all of the herbs to the mixing bowl. Stir gently with the wooden spoon.





3


Transfer herbs to an airtight container. I like amber glass bottles because the herbs stay fresh longer.





4


To brew a cup of tea use 1 1/2 tsp. of the blend for every cup of boiling water.








Tips & Warnings










All of the herbs should be in their dried form.








See a physician if your stress persists. You'll want to have a checkup to make sure your health hasn't been affected.








It is also important to ask your doctor if it is OK to take these herbs in the first place.

How to Make an Herbal Remedy for Edema

How to Make an Herbal Remedy for Edema



Edema is the swelling of the body, particularly the legs, ankles and feet, due to too much water retention in the body's tissues. Edema can be caused by
pregnancy
, sunburn, some medications, eating too much salt or other serious conditions such as heart failure, kidney or liver disease. While the cause of your condition should be discussed with your doctor, there are herbal remedies you can use at home to help reduce edema and relieve the discomfort and pain it causes.







Things You'll Need:





1 tsp. fresh taraxacum (dandelion)




Cucumber




2 tsps. comfrey




2 tsps. coltsfoot




Soft, clean towel









1


Reduce salt and fat in your diet by including more raw foods. The most important ingredient in herbal remedies is lots of water and fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating fresh raw fruits and vegetables can help your body to eliminate salt and toxins that are causing edema. Salt is often the culprit in edema, as it causes water retention in the body, so trying to eliminate salts and eating fresh foods will greatly reduce your symptoms.





2


Take two cups of dandelion tea daily, a natural diuretic that can help to reduce the swelling of edema. Dandelion is also highly nutritious, as its leaves are high in vitamins A, C, D and B as well as zinc, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, choline, calcium, boron, copper and silicon. Boil 1 cup of water and remove from heat before adding 1 tsp. of fresh dandelion. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes, then strain the herbs and drink.





3


Eat one fresh whole cucumber daily. Many herbal remedies include fresh cucumber, as it has many healing properties. Cucumber will help to eliminate toxins from the body, and reduce water retention caused by edema.





4


Make an herbal poultice from comfrey and coltsfoot that you can apply directly to the effected area. Boil four cups of water and remove from heat. Add two teaspoons of comfrey and two teaspoons of coltsfoot and allow to steep for five minutes. Strain the herbs, soak a towel in the water and apply to the affected area for 20 minutes three times a day.








Tips & Warnings










Edema can be a symptom of a serious health condition, so always consult your doctor or naturopath before taking herbal remedies or attempting to treat yourself at home.

This path has been followed for centuries, used to treat ailments from hay fever to toenail fungus. Eczema is an illness whose symptoms include itching, redness, flaking skin, small pimples on the neck, forehead and cheek, and rough skin. Many people treat eczema using home remedies.







Things You'll Need:





Camphor




Zinc




Nutmeg paste




Turmeric pills




Sandalwood paste
