What Are Wellness Teas?

For centuries, flowers and flowering herbs have become an integral part of wellness rituals as individuals, around the globe, have entrusted flowers and flowering herbs to provide innumerable benefits to their holistic health. This use of flowers and flowering herbs in wellness rituals led to the creation of wellness teas as wellness teas combine multiple botanicals, spices and adaptogens to boost mental clarity, immunity, and focus while promoting other targeted benefits for your body. Research shows that wellness teas boost immune function through various amino acids and compounds known as polyphenols. Polyphenols are the largest group of compounds in tea that are known to have incredible disease fighting antioxidant properties and amino acids are proteins that help rebuild and maintain the immune system. These properties make wellness teas a much healthier herbal option for a nice warm drink in comparison to hot chocolate or a foamy latte. And, although wellness teas aren't intended to cure any ailment, they'll likely uplift your mood after drinking them, therefore; there's no harm in indulging in a drink that will promote total wellness from the inside out.
