Strawberry Leaf Tea
This week’s episode is all about garden herbs. I talked about the benefits and possibility of making teas out of most herbs in the garden. My favorite teas were strawberry leaf tea and rosemary tea.
Here are some of the herbs we discussed:
Parsley: stimulates and improves digestion
Cilantro: has antioxidants that help decrease inflammation and may lower heart disease risk
Oregano: has antioxidants and is found to be anti-bacterial
Lavender: has a calming effect and is anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory
Basil: has anti-inflammatory components and increases alertness when used as aromatherapy
Strawberry Leaves: have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components
Raspberry Leaves: help with female menstrual cycles and to ease the pain of childbirth
Rosemary: has antioxidants, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory components

This can also be used with almost all herbs. Rosemary tea is delicious too!
