Tea Forté - Chamomile Citron - Organic infusion Premium Chamomile in bulk - Fresh Box 50 g

Tea Forte Chamomile Lemon is a unique refreshing herbal tea that blends organic chamomile, organic rosehip, organic lemongrass, organic hibiscus, organic lemon verbena and is enhanced with organic licorice roots. Chamomile is Egyptian, known for its characteristic apple taste. Organic rosehips offer an attractive balance between sweet and sour. Organic lemongrass and lemon verbena provide a clean, fresh and bold citrus note for infusion, while organic licorice root provides a natural sweetness to the tea and gives it a depth of character. Chamomile tea is known for its unique ability to soothe, while lemon verbena and lemongrass are considered to promote relaxation and sleep. Hibiscus and rosehip provide vitamin C that supports the immune system. Hibiscus is known to be a very healthy herb and rich in antioxidants. In fact, the antioxidant content of hibiscus is comparable to that of red wine, which is increasingly recognized for its cardioprotective properties. Hibiscus can also lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure. Licorice root has an impressive list of well-documented uses, including the relief of fatigue, depression, colds and flu. Its mild flavour soothes the throat, stomach and nerves. A spoonful of honey brings a hint of spiciness and vanilla notes. Chamomile goes well with shortbread cookies, apples and bananas.

The Benefits of Chamomile Tea:

Improves sleep:

Many people rely on the relaxing effects of chamomile tea and herbal tea blends to help them sleep. Simply sipping a cup of hot tea is generally calming, and popular medicine has long used chamomile for its ability to soothe the body in a state of rest. A caffeine-free herbal tea with chamomile is not addictive and can be used as often as necessary to promote restful nights.

Skin benefits:

Chamomile can help in eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and some forms of acne. People with skin lesions and burns can benefit from chamomile's ability to promote the production of the collagen proteins needed to accelerate the healing process.

Stimulates the immune system:

Studies have shown that consuming chamomile tea can increase body levels of a chemical called hippurate, a natural immune stimulant. It is believed that regular consumption of chamomile tea can strengthen the immune system, which makes it easier to fight common diseases.

Soothes nerves:

Setting up with a cup of infusion has a soothing effect on tired nerves. Chamomile, in particular, has shown promise in mild to moderate cases of anxiety and depression. A 2012 study (link to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22894890) showed a 50% reduction in anxiety symptoms among people who took chamomile extract daily for a period of eight weeks, suggesting that drinking chamomile tea on a regular basis can also help this condition.

Anti-inflammatory :

One of the reasons why chamomile is believed to be so good for skin problems is its ability to prevent the body from releasing inflammatory compounds. Called prostaglandins, these compounds are usually produced by white blood cells in response to injury or infection. Fewer inflammatory prostaglandins means less pain and easier recovery.

Support for stomach pain:

Many people experience a slight digestive discomfort from time to time. Instead of taking an over-the-counter medication, it may be helpful to drink a chamomile tea. Its soothing properties for the stomach can relax muscles to improve lazy digestion, soothe unpleasant gases, reduce stomach pain and relieve general digestive discomfort. Chamomile is also promising for unpleasant conditions ranging from colic to irritable bowel syndrome.

Provides beneficial antioxidants:

Antioxidants fight the effects of free radicals, unstable molecules that form every day in the body in response to metabolism and external stimuli. The high amount of antioxidants in chamomile tea can act to slow down aging and fight chronic diseases. It has even been shown that the inclusion of chamomile in herbal therapeutic mixtures inhibits the growth of cancerous tumours.

With all the advantages that chamomile infusion has to offer, it makes sense to have this aromatic herb as a basic ingredient in the kitchen, especially appreciated in a hot infusion at bedtime.
