Sipping green tea or herbal tea is a timeless daily routine in countries all-around the world for different reasons. Green tea has been an important part of life in Asia for thousands of years, much to the gratification and wellbeing of the people. Hundreds of studies have been conducted to determine how green tea, and herbal tea in general, supports a healthy lifestyle.

Cardamom is said to help digestion, cut gas, and calm stomach cramps. Green tea is associated with many of the same benefits.

Implementing Dandelion in green tea or herbal tea can act as an expectorant or diuretic, Fennel to quiet coughs, stimulate appetite, and soothe stomach cramps, and Ginger to diminish stomach and menstrual cramps, relieve vomiting, increase circulation, and diminish cold and flu symptoms.

Kava Kava is regularly consumed to relax muscles, dampen anxiety, encourage urinary tract health, and sound sleep. Herbal tea and green tea with Lemon balm is intended to decrease anxiety and relieve stomach upset while Licorice improves digestion, soothes coughs and sore throats, and eases menstrual cramping. Nettle supports a health liver and kidneys, and relieves diaarrhea and constipation.

Rosehips in herbal tea may relieve headaches and deflect bladder infections. Rosemary can relieve cold symptoms, ease headaches, increase circulation, and cushion joint pain. Some people use Sage to enhance digestion, mitigate coughs and lung congestion, and to quiet the nerves, Skullcap to aid PMS symptoms and diminish anxiety, and St. John's Wort to decrease anxiety, improve mood, and promote relaxation.
