You are beautiful, your body is beautiful. It is a temple your spirit dwells in until you leave this amazing planet. That is why taking care of your temple is important.
Here are some of the best herbal teas to drink daily for that Sacred temple that you live in. That way you can start living and thriving instead of living and surviving.
Variety of Teas
Herbal tea can be beneficial for your temple. Each one is beneficial in its own right. Here are a few examples that are good for overall health.
Ginkgo, Lemon Balm, Sakura (Cherry Blossom), Rose, Chamomile, and Peppermint tea. These teas can help boost your bodies vitamins and help your immune system.
We will be covering only Rose, Chamomile, and Peppermint for the time being. These are the teas we drink regularly as well.
Rose Tea
Rose tea. It is a tea made from whole rose petals or rose buds. It is different from rose hip which is made from the fruit of the rose plant.
This tea literally tastes how it smells…like roses!
It is high in vitamin C which helps keep your immune system strong to keep those colds away.
Rose tea also helps regulate the female menstrual cycle while also keeping those hormones in check. Along with balancing the hormones, if you are a female experiencing menstrual pains a cup of rose tea with a little honey and a dash of black pepper aid in regulating the blood flow.
After a long day at work cozying up to a warm cup of rose tea will help calm the mind and elevate your mood. It balances stress hormones by calming down the nervous system.
The soothing properties of this herbal tea make it a great choice of drink right before bed as well.
Chamomile Tea
Another good tea to drink on a regular basis is chamomile. Added with a teaspoon of honey, it is bountiful in benefits for your body. Drinking chamomile tea regularly is chuck full with vitamins and minerals. Some examples would be vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and iron.
It has been used since early Egyptian times as “strewing herbs”. An article on Wikipedia says, “A strewing herb are certain kinds of plants that are scattered over the floors of dwelling places and other buildings. They were used as disinfectants and insecticides.”
It is one of the nine sacred herbs named in the Anglo-Saxon medical texts and prayers, and praised as “plants’ physician” for its healing abilities.
Chamomile tea also helps lower your blood pressure aiding in heart health.
Drinking chamomile tea also improves your digestion. Have stomach problems? Chamomile tea can help alleviate some of that internal pressure with its carminative effects.
The chamomile plant has chemical compounds in it that has been scientifically proven to increase your body’s immune system. It helps your body produce white blood cells to combat bacteria and viruses.
Since chamomile tea has an anti-inflammatory nature it can be used to help calm menstrual pains and also reduce swelling.
Having a stressful day or your anxiety is going through the roof? Since chamomile tea has relaxing qualities in it, drinking a cup of chamomile tea can encourage relaxation.
Same goes with sleeping.
If you are restless before you go to bed drink a warm cup of chamomile tea. This will help ease you into sleep and give you a deeper night of rest.
Peppermint Tea
The famous and most commonly used herbal tea in the world.
Peppermint tea is easy to add to your daily diet and easy on your stomach as well.
It has beneficial effects on the digestive tract if drank consistently. It can help relieve indigestion, stomach pain and nausea.
Are you a female that experiences menstrual cramps every month? Well, Peppermint tea may help with your muscle cramps and the spasms you experience.
If you struggle with headaches or even migraines the menthol in the peppermint oil increases blood flow and provides a cooling sensation.
Need to study or have a more focused mind? Peppermint tea improves concentration, memory, and alertness.
Whip up a hot cup of this tea, whether it’d be from fresh peppermint leaves, the oil, or the dry leaves, give this tea a try if you need some relief!
Conclusion
Adding a cup of herbal tea is a great addition to your overall diet.
Each cup you choose to make will be loaded with vitamins and minerals that can help boost your body’s systems.
Making a cup of herbal tea is a simple process.
It is prepared by steeping the flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, stems, and petals of a multitude of plants and flowers for 7-15 minutes. After that take your herbs out, let it cool, and it is ready to drink!
Add any type of sweetener you desire once it is cooled. Then enjoy!
One of our favorite sweeteners to add is honey. It is delicious and a healthy alternative to processed sugar.
Remember this as well, you do not have to stick with one type of tea for your cup. If can mix and match herbal teas to what suits you most.
Some of our favorite types to mix are Lemon Balm, Peppermint, and then add some honey. Another mix, for our Matcha fans, we like to combine Rose buds in our cup of Matcha. It adds a soft Rose smell and unique taste to the drink.
The body you have is your temple, do with it as you will.

I really wish I liked tea. My family members either like or love it. But the taste of tea is a blech for me. If there is a tea that doesn’t taste like tea, my guess would be that it’s not real tea? Oh, that I could find a nice, wholesome tea that my tastebuds would enjoy. Best wishes with your experiments. 🙂
Hey Cathy,
Thank you for Reading and commenting. If I may ask what teas does your family drink? And what beverages do you like? The reason I ask is because I was once a die hard tea hater but then I tried a certain tea and it made me want to explore the world of tea more. Now I am at the point where I constantly drink it on a regular. I like to think of Tea now as Flavored Nutritional Water or Water with benefits.
My family members have varying tastes with tea. Personally, I like water, some flavored water, Diet Dr. Pepper, orange and cranberry juice, and occasionally grape cool-aid. “Water with benefits” hilarious. 😀
It almost sounds as if you like sweeter tasting things. I recommend putting honey or agave with your teas, depending on your satisfaction. It seems as though you also enjoy cold beverages. Creating a sweet berry ice tea may satisfy your taste buds. A berry type herbal tea like a blue berry, black berry mix with a little dragon-fruit and add some honey would be a good start for you. Something around that I would recommend for you. Do not be afraid to explore with different berry type teas. For me, I like to drink berry type teas as long as there is honey close by.
If you could list out some of the sellers for peppermint tea, that would be great.
Hey Hitesh,

Thank you for writing an honest comment!
I am happy that chamomile tea has helped you sleep more deeply. It has helped my boyfriend tremendously. When he drinks it before bed he does not toss and turn during the night.
For me it helps my menstrual cramps go away & calm me down. It makes a huge difference as well when I get ready for bed.

Hi I love herbal teas. Just a quick question. I have fresh mint growing in my garden. What is the best way to make tea with this. Fresh or dried? Thanks
Hello Deb! Welcome to MatchaForMe!
I appreciate you reading and commenting on our blog post!
To answer your question you can use either type of mint leaves. It really depends on your personal preference.
I have personally not made tea with fresh mint leaves.
I can leave you with a website that can explain how to make mint tea with fresh leaves. Hopefully this will answer your question! 🙂

Here is also another website that explains how to dry your mint leaves if you would prefer the dry method.

I have recently become more of a tea drinker in the last couple of years. That would be thanks to a chain of tea shops here in Canada that has some of the most amazing teas ever.
I really dislike the smell of peppermint tea, but I understand its benefits. Is there another tea that works in a similar way without that taste and smell? I would love a good tea for digestion troubles…any recommendations? Thank you in advance.
Hello Irma! Welcome to MatchaForMe!

There are a few I personally recommend for when I have stomach issues…
-Chamomile is one of the ones I recommend because it helps relive muscle spasms and soothe the digestive tract. So, if you have trouble with your stomach cramping up or even menstrual cramps Chamomile tea will help with that.
-Ginger is another good one because it helps with nausea and stomach pain as well. This tea has some spice to it and a unique taste.
-Chai is also a good tea to try if you like the spicier side of things. Chai is made using a variety of spices including ginger, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and pepper. This tea has been shown to reduce nausea and prevent diarrhea by soothing the stomach lining.
So, as you can see there are a variety of teas to choose from. I personally enjoy these teas if my stomach is acting up.
I do encourage you to do more research to find the tea that suits your personal needs the most. 🙂
Thank you again for taking the time out of your day to read and comment on the blog post!
