Let’s talk about infusions and herbal teas: Do you know which one is right for you? Below are all the special features of the most commonly used infusions.
Infusions and herbal teas are very popular drinks, especially when the temperatures drop, but it is important to remember that in addition to the pleasure of drinking hot water, herbal infusions have many benefits and are often unique. There are herbal remedies, relaxing herbal teas, purifying herbal teas and more.
For this reason, we will try to collect some herbs that can be taken as infusions and herbal remedies to get rid of our illnesses.
Infusions and Herbal Teas
Infusions are the square of water: they quench thirst, but not only. Drinking herbal tea or infusion is like giving our body hydrotherapy: it helps to lose fat, improves many functions of our body and some types can also work to reduce the size of the stomach. There are many, if not hundreds, types of tea: herbal teas, teas with fruits and herbs, and in recent years, their tastes have also become different. Most of the measures are aimed at solving specific problems, while some are aimed solely at people’s health. Let’s take a look at the main products of the most popular infusions and herbal teas.
Strawberry soaking liquid
To prepare delicious strawberry juice, you need half a glass of strawberries and orange peel (the white part does not taste bitter). Boil 3-4 glasses of water with these ingredients and let it cool, then strain the strawberry and orange colored and flavored water with a strainer and decide whether to drink it hot or cold (you should leave it in the fridge for about an hour). This infusion works because strawberries have no calories but are rich in substances; for example, they contain a lot of vitamin C, which speeds up metabolism and helps burn fat. Orange peels have the same properties.
Lemon, mint and cucumber infusion
To prepare this refreshing drink, mix two lemon slices, half a cucumber slice, 10 mint leaves and two liters of water. Let it sit overnight and heat slightly. This infusion works well because cucumbers are 96% water, which acts as a diuretic, aids in the elimination of waste products, and helps prevent swelling due to water retention and hormonal changes.
Orange and lemon juice
Orange and lemon are two of the most commonly used ingredients in herbal teas. Orange infusions are appreciated for their immune-stimulating activity, protection against upper respiratory infections, and partial sedative effects, while lemon, especially in combination with ginger, has strong antiemetic properties (against nausea and vomiting), anti-infection, and indigestion.
Blueberry Infusion
Prepare a bag of blueberries (fresh or frozen), two cups of pomegranate seeds, 2 liters of mineral water, and ice. Put the water with the pomegranate seeds and blueberries in a jar. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Add some ice before drinking. Blueberries are rich in carotenoids, flavonoids and anthocyanins, antioxidants that help prevent aging. Pomegranate is also a powerful anti-aging agent: it helps reduce signs of aging, promotes regeneration and prevents skin blemishes.
Lemon and cherry infusion
Use a lemon cut into slices, six halved and pitted cherries, a pinch of mint, ice cubes and a liter of water. Mix all the ingredients and let it rest for 30 minutes. Since anthocyanins and potassium are powerful natural antioxidants, cherries can promote the formation of plaque in the arteries, making them more elastic and beneficial for circulation. Lemon also promotes cleansing, as it promotes the elimination of toxins, regulates excess bile and reduces liver activity.
