A variety by themselves, herbal tea is completely different from the other varieties of tea. Not being tea in the true sense, herbal tea is simply fresh herb containing medicinal properties. By infusing a teaspoon of these fresh herbs like mint, tutlsi, ginger, jasmine (and many others) into hot water, their medicinal properties seep into the water giving the drinkers the desired effect, which could be laxative, curative, refreshing, sedative or antacid in nature.
Herbal tea is referred to in various ways. Among its “nicknames” are as sleeping tea, slimming tea, dieters' tea, cholesterol lowering tea etc, depending upon their specific medicinal effect. |
