Indigenous Medicine Flower Tea

Indigenous "Medicine Flower" Tea

Herbal tea has lots of wonderful health benefits. From soothing a troubled tummy to easing insomnia and calming a troubled mind, herbs have all sorts of healing powers. Drinking herbal tea can also be a great source of vitamins and minerals.

Herbal tea isn’t really made from tea, which is a specific kind of plant. The word tisane is more accurate, since herbal tea is an infusion of leaves, seeds, roots or bark, extracted in hot water. When we drink a well-steeped herbal tea, we get all the plant’s benefits in an easily digestible state. We get more benefits from a good drinking herbal tea than from taking vitamins.

Steep your loose tea long enough, in some cases, as long as 10 to 15 minutes, to really bring out all the healthful properties. Cover the vessel to lock in the properties.

For centuries, the indigenous people right here in the north east coast of American have used herbs and spices to enhance the taste of food and drink, and to help and heal their bodies, as well.

Passed from generation to generation, the wealth of information about the healing powers of this herbal blend for our physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual selves continues to hold true today.

The second ingredient Sage has one of the longest histories of use of any culinary or medicinal herb. Ancient indigenous in North America used it as a fertility drug.  Sage stopped bleeding of wounds and cleaned ulcers and sores, hoarseness and coughs.  A tea made from sage leaves has had a long history of use to treat sore throats and coughs; often by gargling. It is also used by herbalists for rheumatism, excessive menstrual bleeding, and to dry up a mother's milk when nursing was stopped. It is also used for strengthening the nervous system, improving memory, and sharpening the senses.

Sage Tea is a valuable drink for the reduction of fevers and to reduce the nervous excitement accompanying brain and nervous diseases. It has a reputation as a remedy, given in small and often-repeated doses, for many ailments. It is a stimulant tonic in debility of the stomach and nervous system and weakness of digestion generally. It is considered a useful medicine in typhoid fever and beneficial in biliousness and liver complaints, kidney troubles, hemorrhage from the lungs or stomach, for colds in the head as well as sore throat, quinsy, measles, for pains in the joints, lethargy and palsy.

Finally the last ingredient Peppermint tea has been proven to have amazing health and beauty benefits. When it comes to stress and anxiety, peppermint tea is one of your best allies.
