Joshanda Tea

This is a famous Unani herbal medicine, known for its benefits in combating a cold, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, flu and influenza, and many more. Joshanda herbal tea is good for people who have asthma and chronic bronchitis, and it is very effective for catarrh, cough, cold and physical fatigue. The Joshanda powder helps to fight allergy and seasonal changes, so it is a top herbal tea popularly used in many Asian countries.

Chamomile Tea

Well-known for its calming effects, this herbal tea is frequently used as a sleep aid; it is believed to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and liver-protecting effects, so it is one of the most popular herbal teas available, and for good reason. The tea may further help to relieve premenstrual symptoms and high blood lipid, high blood sugar, and high insulin levels.

Peppermint Tea

Peppermint herbal tea is a commonly used tea in the world, and though it is mostly known for its supportive digestive tract health benefit, this herbal tea also has antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Moreover, there is evidence showing that peppermint oil is effective at relaxing spasms in the intestines, oesophagus, and colon; as well as helping to relieve indigestion, nausea, and stomach pain.

Ginger Tea

The spicy and flavourful herbal tea is packed with antioxidants that help to fight diseases; it also helps against inflammation and stimulates the immune system, though it is most well known for being an effective remedy for nausea. Studies have found that ginger is very effective against relieving nausea, especially in early pregnancy, motion sickness, and cancer treatments.

Hibiscus Tea

With a pink-red colour and a refreshing flavour, this herbal tea offers many healthy benefits for the body, due to its antiviral properties. The Hibiscus tea is highly effective against high blood pressure and may also have effects on blood lipid levels; the tea is also good in helping to fight oxidative stress. It is important to note that this tea should not be taken with certain diuretic medication or at the same time as aspirin, as it may shorten the effects.
