I am referring specifically to infusions, have you ever taken them as an alternative therapy, their regular use is quite effective and much less expensive than medications.
I've had all kinds of teas and I make them for medicinal reasons. Currently having lavender and valerian root to help me sleep,I drink peppermint or lemon and ginger if my stomach is a bit unsettled too.
@HannibalAteMeOut I drink mint tea very often, it is an excellent adjuvant to avoid nervousness and stress, it helps the nervous system a lot, could you describe the benefits of mountain tea for me? I didn't know about it.
@MrGomco it feels like a relief if you're cold, especially with honey in it and contains antioxidants. Pretty much like every other herbal tea. It's traditional for me cause it's a thing in my country and people collect it from the mountain, let it dry and boil it. I also love the aroma, it's unique.
My favorite is rose hip tea. I don't have to pay for it, there are many wild roses where I live. I don't think it has therapeutical effects, but it's really refreshing!
@whowasthatmaskedman Twinings English Breakfast is excellent – although I drink it in the afternoon, with my sister; she's a big fan. And her self-made pastries are incredible. 😋
@WandererTony You're a connoisseur! Darjeeling tea is highly aromatic, with an intense blend of flavors. I usually prefer plain black tea (English Breakfast or something like that). In fact I'm more of a coffee girl, but my sister loves tea, so when I visit her, I can enjoy a cup of tea and some of her self-made pastries.
@helenS Thanks. I belong to a land where almost everybody is a tea lover. Each tea garden of Darjeeling has its own flavour. Vacations in the tea garden resorts can mean more than 10 cups a day. It’s complimentary from the tea estates. 😊 But home made pastries are your privilege. We rarely have it here. 😀
