Herbal tea basics -
Herbal teas can help with a wide range of health issues, depending on the type of tea and the specific properties of the herbs used.
Here are a few examples:
Digestive issues: Ginger, peppermint, and chamomile tea can help soothe an upset stomach, relieve bloating, and aid digestion.
Anxiety & stress: Chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm tea are known for their calming and relaxing properties, and can help reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
Insomnia: Valerian root, passionflower, and chamomile tea can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, making them useful for treating insomnia.
Cold & flu symptoms: Echinacea, elderflower, and ginger tea can help boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and relieve symptoms of colds and flu.
Menstrual cramps: Ginger and chamomile tea can help relieve menstrual cramps and other symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Headaches: Peppermint and ginger tea can help relieve headaches and migraines, thanks to their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
It's important to note that while herbal teas can be helpful for many health issues, they are not a substitute for proper medical care.
If you have a serious health condition or are taking medication, it's always best to talk to your healthcare provider before using herbal teas or other natural remedies.

Herbs I Wish Grew in My Backyard (and Why)
If I could plant a little garden of magic, these are the herbs I’d want growing wild and free — each one carrying a secret spell in its leaves.
• Lavender — for peace, sleep, and soft dreams woven into the air
• Rosemary — for memory, protection, and cooking with a little bit of magic
• Chamomile — for calming storms inside my chest
• Thyme — for courage when the world feels too loud
• Mint — for energy, healing, and sweetening every breath
• Mugwort — for vivid dreams and wandering through them safely
• Basil — for luck, prosperity, and the feeling of being cared for
• Lemon Balm — for joy, gentleness, and mending what is frayed
• Rue — for strong protection, old-world magic, and standing tall
• Yarrow — for healing wounds you can’t even see
• Vervain — for drawing love, inspiration, and secret strength
A backyard not just full of green things — but of whispered spells, stitched into the roots.
