The Art of Herbal Tea Alchemy!
Herbal alchemy has formed the basis of herbal medicine since the dawn of civilization. Herbalism itself IS the oldest system of medicine, as documented in cultures around the world. Mastering the art of herbal tea preparation is an important first step to becoming your own herbal tea alchemist, brewing magical blends and longevity elixirs. Here we discuss several categories of herbs that are the foundations for many of our blended drinks and foods.
The Great Super Herbs:1) Tonic Herbs The Chinese herbs and Ayurvedic herbs are some of the most profound and potent forms of herbal medicine on the planet. They are found and known in many parts of the world for their life giving attributes that deeply support organ/system functions. The Chinese have developed a sophisticated system of herbalism and have singled out a selected list of Chinese herbs, called the "Superior Herbs" or tonic herbs. These herbs, like ginseng, rhodiola, fo-ti and astragalus, have been revered for thousands of years for their qualities that promote and increase longevity of life. In addition, the Indian Vedic System of herbology has also classified the top Ayurvedic herbs to be used for tonifying the organs, tissues and nervous system. Herbs like tulsi fall into this Ayurvedic category.
2) Nutritive Herbal TeaNutritive herbal tea is in essence a liquid whole food "herbal supplement" manufactured by mother nature herself. This is tea using herbs that tone, nourish and support the body through their concentrated source of minerals and nutrients. Nutritive herbal tea is a powerful way to add even more nutrition to your food. more...
3) Herbal StimulantsBy the word herbal "stimulant", we mean nourishing herbs that gently spark and activate the system and nerve endings by enhancing circulation, boosting nutrient levels, & amplifying liveliness and gusto. Unlike traditional drug "stimulants", herbal stimulants do not agitate adrenals or manipulate energy. Instead, they revitalize and provide balance to the nervous system. They are an excellent addition to herbal teas because their stimulating nature acts as carriers for other herbs and tonics. more...
4) Herbs and SpicesHerb and spices are aromatic herbs that contain a high amount of volatile oils. They provide wonderful fragrances and flavors for herbal tea alchemy blends and are especially nice when combined with natural sweeteners. They are often added to traditional tea preparations because they taste great, uplift and sooth the spirit. Herbs and spices are a perfect addition to any tea, providing delicious flavor and balance. We sometimes include specific flowers in our tea blends for an extra special magic sprinkle. more...
5) Cleansing HerbsCleansing herbs are herbs that are used to carry and clean wastes and toxins out of the body. Primarily working with the liver, cleansing herbs can be beneficial to help clear out unwanted plastics, chemicals, heavy metals and other substances that may throw off our hormonal balance, hinder nutrient absorption and overall health. Some of these herbs also work to move out any parasites and unfriendly flora that might be hiding in pockets of the body. more...Make Herbal Teas Apart of Your Superhero Protocol!By blending drinks and preparing foods that contain liquid tea nutrition, herbal tea alchemy can be one of the top ways to super boost your health to new levels.
