Toning herbal tea. Healing and tonic herbal tea
A well-started morning is the key to a successful day. A cup of fragrant, invigorating tea will help you overcome drowsiness and recharge your batteries.
Tea leaves contain tannin, theobromine, caffeine, theophylline, vitamins, micro- and macroelements, essential oils. When brewed correctly, all beneficial substances are sufficiently preserved and transfer their valuable properties to the infusion.
A black or green tea drink is as invigorating as coffee. The tonic effect is achieved due to the most famous alkaloid caffeine (in tea it is called theine).
But if we compare tea with coffee, the former has a gentler effect on the functioning of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems and does not cause overstrain. The explanation is simple - in a tea drink, caffeine is not presented in its pure form, but in combination with tannin. And the effect of such a complex (caffeine tannate) is much more delicate.
Another factor in its more gentle effect on the body is that preparing tea most often requires a little tea leaves. This means that the concentration of the alkaloid in the resulting infusion is low.
The content of certain substances depends on the variety. Thus, among black long beans, Indian tea is the leader in terms of the amount of caffeine and tannin.. It produces a thick, tart infusion with pronounced tonic properties. In terms of characteristics, Krasnodar is closest to Indian. But Chinese, with some exceptions, as well as Azerbaijani and Georgian varieties have a more delicate taste and delicate aroma.
The effect of tea on the body, although not as strong, is much longer than coffee. Therefore, you should not drink it shortly before bed.

Tonic medicinal herbs:
Tonic plants are divided into two groups. The first is plants with their own tonic properties, of which the most famous are tea and coffee, which have gone far beyond the boundaries of their growing region. The second group is tonic plants with general strengthening properties, which are usually called adapathogens. This group includes ginseng, Aralia Manchurian, Leuzea, Eleutherococcus, Schisandra and others. Separately, tonic plants that affect sexual function are considered - yohimbe, lovage, bergenia and others, less known.
Herbal teas do not contain caffeine, they do not have a harmful effect on hypertensive patients and heart patients, but, on the contrary, stimulate the functioning of various organs and systems, strengthen blood vessels, and slow down aging. Herbal teas contain a large amount of vitamins and microelements beneficial to the body, and they are aromatic and pleasant to the taste.
Tea made from these plants and their infusions can slightly activate the central nervous system without harming it, so you can drink it in the morning and at lunch, but should not drink it in the late afternoon - this can lead to sleep disturbances.
Tonic tea increases mental and physical endurance, the ability to adapt to different living conditions and demands at work (adaptogenic properties), stimulates the immune system and increases the chances of avoiding viral diseases during periods of epidemics, and also simply gives a person pleasure and improves mood. It’s nice to drink a cup of this tea in the morning, and then you can plunge into a new day with pleasure - you can find pleasant sides in every job. And at lunchtime, when performance decreases, this tea will give you new strength for work.
Herbal tea is brewed in a preheated porcelain teapot in two steps. First, pour 10-15 g of herbal mixture into the kettle, pour boiling water to the middle of the volume and quickly close the kettle with a lid. After 5-10 minutes, add boiling water, but not to the top, but leaving 1-1.5 cm to the lid. The water intended for brewing tea should not boil over (it must be boiled until small bubbles appear).
You can brew tea in a thermos. When infused in a thermos, the tea acquires a special aroma, as it contains essential oils of plants. It is this still warm drink that has the greatest tonic properties. You can add a little honey or sugar to it for taste.

We have all heard more than once about the ancient Chinese culture of tea drinking and about the special love for tea of the British, for whom “tea time” is on a par with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
But not many people have heard that black tea appeared in Rus' even earlier than in England. Perhaps this was not influenced by the popularity of this drink among our distant ancestors. The Russians loved to brew rosehip, chamomile, mint, thyme, fireweed and linden blossom. There were plenty of these herbs everywhere and free of charge.
The mass distribution of black tea in Rus' began only in the 19th century among the nobility and merchants. And the widespread use of tea by everyone dates back to the times of the Soviet Union.
But such a widespread love for tea does not mean that it is somehow better than its herbal counterparts. Recipes for herbal teas, both in ancient times and today, are varied, tasty and very healthy.
Benefits and Applications
In addition to vitamins and antioxidants, black and green tea contain caffeine and tannin. These substances have a strong stimulating effect on the nervous system and, if abused, can cause sleep disorders, irritability and nervousness. In some cases, it is better to refrain from frequent drinking of strong tea in case of diseases of the cardiovascular system. The stimulating properties of the drink will make your already weakened body work more intensely.
Herbal medicinal teas also have tonic properties, but do not have such side effects. Therefore, unlike tea, everyday herbal recipes are safe for children, the elderly and people with cardiovascular diseases. The effect of many medicinal herbs on the body occurs without significant side effects, and the result of the healing effect is fixed for a long time.
Useful herbs
Medicinal herbs have a wide range of medicinal properties and form the basis of many medications. The pharmacological properties of herbs are usually less than those of medicines based on them, since the drugs are more concentrated, but this does not mean that herbs do not have contraindications. If you have allergies or serious illnesses, it is recommended that you consult your doctor before taking herbal infusions.
Roots and fruits
It seems that our ancestors experimentally brewed everything as soon as they realized that this could be done. And in addition to herbs, flowers, leaves of various shrubs, roots and fruits were also used - mostly berries, but not rarely fruits. And all parts of plants contain something. Among fruits and berries, apples, currants, cranberries, lingonberries, rose hips, blueberries, plums and rowan are most often added to herbs. And from the roots, these are usually the roots of dandelion, burdock and ginseng.
TOP best herbal teas
Although the bodies of all people have much in common, they are also different in many ways. Therefore, it is impossible to unambiguously determine the best recipes - which herbal infusion will be equally beneficial for everyone than others? Individual intolerance to various substances, genetic predisposition, health status, etc. also play a role here. But, approximately, we can highlight the most popular recipes for herbal teas at home.
Chamomile tea
Chamomile is an unpretentious field plant of the Asteraceae family. It is widespread in North America and Eurasia and is found in almost all regions of both hemispheres, not counting the tropical and subtropical zones.

The antibacterial properties of chamomile tincture relieve inflammation during colds, reduce fever, soothe sore throat and cause increased sweating. Chamomile helps in the treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system, removes harmful substances from food poisoning and is recommended for use by diabetics.
Vitamin herbal tea
Vitamin tea is the name given to various herbal infusions made from rosehip, rowan, stone fruit, currant, sea buckthorn, lingonberry, St. John's wort, mint, plantain, cherry, blackberry, etc. The main benefit of using such preparations is reflected in their name - if you constantly drink vitamin infusions, it strengthens the immune system, saturates the body with vitamins and balances metabolism. The immune system strengthened in this way copes better with diseases, resists viruses and adverse weather conditions.
Tonic tea
Tonic herbs with a strong invigorating effect include:
- ginseng;
- Rhodiola rosea;
- lure;
- Aralia Manchurian;
- Leuzea.
Herbs with mild psychostimulating properties are also added to tonic herbal mixtures:
- knotweed;
- St. John's wort;
- prickly tartar;
- lovage officinalis;
- yarrow.
Drinking tonic mixtures in the morning is much healthier than drinking coffee. The tincture retains its properties for no more than a day, so it is better to brew the herbal mixture in small portions in the evening. It is not recommended to use them before bedtime.
Eucalyptus drink
Eucalyptus is an evergreen woody plant of the Myrtaceae family. The largest variety of eucalyptus species grows in New Zealand, Tasmania and the forests of Australia. Some of its species are also found in the Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea. Only one species of eucalyptus grows in the northern hemisphere - Eucalyptus rainbowus.
This concerns the natural growth of this plant. Artificial cultivation of eucalyptus trees has been practiced all over the world for centuries. During Soviet times, eucalyptus trees were planted in Sochi and in the Crimea. To date, about 20 trees have survived in Sochi, which successfully acclimatized and survived the abnormal cold of 1963.

Thyme tea
Thyme, or thyme in other words, is a low-growing shrub of the Yamnotaceae family. Thyme grows in North Africa, Greenland, and throughout Eurasia with the exception of the tropical zone.

Thyme tincture strengthens the immune system, helps quickly cure colds, improves overall well-being and normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Ginger tea
When talking about ginger, we must immediately clarify what we are talking about. Ginger is a spice made from ginger root, the root itself, many different plants of the Zingiberaceae family, and ginger, from which ginger infusions are made.
Ginger decoction strengthens the heart muscle, thins the blood, cleanses the liver, removes toxins, stimulates brain function and improves potency.
Soothing herbal tea
Collecting various herbs can both tone and calm the body. Soothing teas relieve excessive tension, insomnia and relieve stress. They are much healthier than various antidepressants and chemical analogues. And preparing any variety with your own hands or buying it at a pharmacy does not pose a big problem.
Typically, such drinks are prepared from peppermint, valerian, St. John's wort, chamomile and thyme.
