Benefits of Herbal Tea

Herbal Tea

Hello Everyone, 

Today I want to share about herbal tea. This past weekend I purchased a tea pot with a strainer to make loose leaf teas. My mother in law is big on these teas and she has been telling me that there are certain herbs that you can drink as tea that is better than taking vitamins. The reason for this is because herbs are FULL of vitamins and minerals in themselves! So check out these teas, get some and drink it! 

Nettle Tea:

Minerals - calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sulfur and zinc

Nettle is also known to have Phytochemicals which are natural occurring plant compounds that prevent free-radicals damage. It is believed to help prevent and treat many diseases and sicknesses such as allergies, anemia, inflammatory disorders. As well as effect your blood sugar levels, therefore can help with diabetes.
