Healing Herbal Teas: 5 Recipes for Anxiety, Energy, and Protection
Share
The healing teas in Tea Magic: 20 Herbal Infusions address the most common and most pressing physical and energetic needs that herbal tea practice is sought for: the relief of anxiety, the support of digestion, the specific needs of the female body, the restoration of depleted energy, and the establishment of energetic protection. These five blends are the most therapeutically focused in the guide — the teas that address specific conditions and specific needs with the precision of traditional herbal medicine.
Anxiety Ease Tea
The Anxiety Ease blend is one of the most important and most immediately useful of the twenty teas — a blend specifically formulated to address the physiological and energetic dimensions of anxiety. It works with the most effective anxiolytic herbs in the Western herbal tradition: passionflower for the GABA-modulating activity that genuinely reduces anxiety at the neurological level; lemon balm for the anxiolytic and mood-lifting effects of its rosmarinic acid content; chamomile for the apigenin-mediated calming of the nervous system; and lavender for the linalool-driven reduction of anxiety that has been confirmed in multiple clinical studies.
Digestion Blend
The Digestion Blend addresses the most common physical complaint that herbal tea is sought for — the full spectrum of digestive discomfort from bloating and gas to sluggish digestion and post-meal heaviness. Peppermint for the antispasmodic and carminative effects of its menthol content; ginger for the prokinetic and anti-nausea effects of its gingerols; fennel for the carminative and digestive-stimulating effects of its volatile oils; and chamomile for the anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic support of the digestive tract.
Women's Blend
The Women's Blend is formulated specifically for the female body and its cyclical needs — supporting hormonal balance, easing menstrual discomfort, and nourishing the specific physiological systems that the female body relies on. Red raspberry leaf for the uterine toning and mineral-rich nourishment that is the foundation of female reproductive health; nettle for the iron and mineral replenishment that supports the female body through its monthly cycle; and dong quai for the traditional Chinese medicine herb of female hormonal balance and blood nourishment.
Energy Restore and Protection Brew
The Energy Restore blend addresses the specific needs of the depleted practitioner — the person who has given too much, rested too little, and needs genuine replenishment rather than the temporary stimulation of caffeine. Ashwagandha for the adaptogenic restoration of adrenal function; eleuthero for the sustained energy support of the most researched adaptogen; and nettle for the mineral-rich nourishment that genuine energy restoration requires. The Protection Brew is the most energetically focused of the healing teas — a blend designed to establish and maintain the practitioner's energetic protection, to clear the energetic residue of difficult interactions, and to restore the integrity of the personal energy field.
