Herbal teas are a simple way to add a little more nourishment and self-care into your day. From supporting digestion to helping you unwind and relax, different herbs offer their own unique benefits.

Here are 5 of my favourite herbal teas and why I think they’re worth giving a try.

1. Green 

Full of antioxidants which protect your cells from oxidative damage. Also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation.

2. Peppermint 

Helps to relax the digestive tract and ease feelings of bloating, gas and indigestion, making it a great choice when your stomach needs a little extra support, especially after meals. 

3. Nettle

Rich in vitamins and minerals including iron. It is also a natural anti-histamine so can help with reducing hay-fever symptoms. 

4. Camomile

Naturally caffeine free, promoting relaxation so is a lovely choice to include in your evening routine.

5. Lemon and ginger

Ginger supports both the digestive and immune systems, whilst the vitamin C in the lemon also helps with immune function. A good choice for cold season!
