My Favorite Botanicals
A botanical is a plant–or part of a plant–that is valued for its medicinal or therapeutic properties
I love to forage botanicals, but don’t always have the time to do so when certain ones are in bloom, so I was elated when my favorite tea company started a whole line of botanicals! No foraging or preserving required, but all the medicinal benefits are waiting for me, inside each bag.
My top picks for functional botanicals I love adding to my teas:
- Red Clover– isoflavones such as biochanin A, genistein, and daidzein give red clover an anti-inflammatory effect. It’s also effective at easing menopause symptoms and helping prevent osteoporosis
- Dandelion Leaves are said to aid in digestion and stimulate our immune system
- Raspberry Leaves are believed to help fight common illnesses, like the cold or flu
A few of my favorite tea blends I love to make with botanicals:
- Elderflower Tea–recipe is right here.
- Raspberry Leaf Tea with Elderberries–recipe is right here.
