Herbal Teas - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Herbal teas are known for their soothing and healing effects. They have been used for centuries to heal and provide health benefits by detoxifying the body, cleansing the colon, and calming anxiety.

Second only to water, tea is the most frequently consumed drink worldwide. All types of teas, including green, black, and red teas, have antioxidant properties because of the polyphenols they contain. These antioxidants are thought to provide the body with protection against free radicals. ORAC scores (measuring antioxidant potential of plant-based foods) for teas are often higher than scores for many vegetables and fruits. Herbal teas are considered to be one of the most satisfying and helpful types of herbal supplementation.
