the health benefits of tea

Tea is perhaps the oldest of natural remedies. Ancient herbalists long ago unlocked the life-giving secrets of plants.  Now, physicians around the world are publishing findings about the many benefits of tea. Here are some:

black tea
Black tea is highest in caffeine and lowest in polyphenols.  It has been shown to boost the immune system, prevent and recover from heart disease, and prevent cancer.

green tea
Green tea is higher in polyphenols than black tea, and is also lower in caffeine.  It provides all the benefits of black tea, and additionally lowers cholesterol, helps ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis, and prevents infections.

white tea
White tea contains the greatest amount of the beneficial properties of tea.  It also has the most delicate flavor - no bitterness and a natural sweetness - and almost no caffeine.  It is the most effective natural ally against cancer, and its antibacterial properties have recently been demonstrated by health care professionals. It even helps fight against plaque and cavities.

chamomile
This old folk remedy has long been used to treat stomach and gastrointestinal problems, and also clears up skin problems either as a tea or applied topically.  Children especially benefit from chamomile. Blended with rosehips (high in vitamin C), it becomes a powerful ally against any seasonal illness.

ginger ginseng
Two medicinal (and delicious) herbs in one!  Ginseng boosts energy and immune functions, manages stress, prevents infections and illness, mitigates the side-effects of cancer treatments, helps in managing diabetes, and fights against aging.  Ginger helps boost the effectiveness of any herbal medicine, is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and provides the tangy bite in this exceptionally delicious tea blend.
