Herbal teas are infusions of leaves, roots, flowers, seeds or barks steeped in hot water, so when we drink them we can get all the nutrients and benefits of those plants. And since many plants have medicinal properties, their teas are a great way to calm our nervous systems and relax, soothe our digestive systems, promote sleep and ease cold symptoms.
There is a wide variety of plants that are used as teas, most of which have beneficial effects on our mind and body, but here we focus on some of the main ones that can be easily found and incorporated into our daily lives.
