What Is Medicinal Tea?
Teas have been popular for decades and with good reason. Not only are they comforting, and alternately warming or refreshing depending on how they are prepared, but they also provide very impressive health benefits. Medicinal teas fit into a very unique niche within the herbal teas category because they feature medicinal plants and herbs with clinically demonstrated health benefits. This explains why medicinal teas have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years as natural remedies for a range of indications including liver cleansing, constipation, antioxidant and cholesterol support, kidney function, and stress and sleep support.
Medicinal teas have a different antioxidant profile than green, white, black, and oolong teas, based on their composition, and their chemical profiles will also vary widely depending on the plant(s) used. Some of the most common medicinal plants used in herbal teas include dandelion, fennel, ginger, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, lavender, licorice, milk thistle, nettle, passionflower, St john's wort, turmeric, and valerian. Medicinal teas are also widely available in stores and online as loose leaf tea, in teabags, as well as in powder formats, the majority of which, are caffeine-free.
Medicinal Tea - Taste, Texture, Aroma
Medicinal teas come in an endless variety of flavour profiles and aromas, based on the herbs and plants in each one. As a general rule, medicinal plants may be a little more earthy than fruity, citrusy, or floral-based herbal teas. Medicinal teas are also often more pungent and have a more complex aroma. Teas that feature bold medicinal herbs may add in other ingredients like fruit, or fruit peel, as well as flowers, and spices, to mellow the plant’s bitterness or astringency for instance, and provide a more balanced and delicate flavour.
Preparing Medicinal Tea
While most medicinal teas are brewed in pretty much the same way, there can be some slight variations, so you should always follow any brewing instructions provided on the individual tea you purchase. Generally, you would start by boiling water, and pour it into a teacup along with one teaspoon to one tablespoon of loose leaf tea or one teabag, cover, and allow to steep for 5 to 15 minutes. It's important to give your tea enough time to fully extract the medicinal constituents in the herbs/plants, as well as the full flavour profile.
Some herbal teas can have a very bold flavour, in which instances a little lemon, honey, or another sweetener may be used.
