Many people feel lethargic or tired with the arrival of spring. Herbal teas, especially those made from spring blossoms, offer a gentle and effective alternative to chemical remedies. Seasonal changes affect both body and mind in multiple ways. Here, we explore several spring teas that can revitalize your energy and strengthen your body.
Rose petals have a mild and slightly astringent nature. This tea is calming and mood-lifting, making it ideal for those experiencing anxiety or low spirits in spring.
Preparation:
Place one-third tablespoon of rose petals and one teaspoon of green tea in a porcelain teapot. Add boiling water and steep for 5–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy.
Alternatively, steep 15–20 grams of dried rose leaves in one liter of boiling water and drink a cup after each meal.
Another method is to pour boiling water over a few rose hips, steep for 20 minutes, and sip slowly with a little honey.
The fragrant orange blossom, a hallmark of spring, makes a soothing tea with a warm nature. It stimulates appetite, strengthens the nervous system, and can help treat sudden heart palpitations.
Orange blossom aids liver function, fights bile imbalance, reduces throat swelling, alleviates chest pain and headaches, relieves constipation, and has antimicrobial properties.
Preparation:
Combine orange blossom with chamomile flowers in a teapot, add four cups of water, and steep for 35 minutes. This tea helps calm irregular heartbeats, anxiety, and insomnia, promoting a restful sleep.
Dandelion is a versatile plant; its flowers, roots, and stems can all be used for tea, while leaves can enhance salads or infusions. Dried dandelion has a slightly bitter floral taste. Regularly drinking dandelion tea boosts energy and overall vitality.
Mint tea is particularly beneficial in spring. Leaves, stems, roots, and fruits can all be brewed. This aromatic tea soothes digestive discomforts like stomach pain, bloating, cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. It also alleviates nerve tension, improves breath, prevents gum disease, and soothes coughs. Mint tea removes excess body heat and supports recovery from seasonal colds.
Made from dried green osmanthus flowers, this gentle floral tea is perfect for a spring afternoon spent with loved ones. Its subtle sweetness is also popular with children.
Lotus flowers are not only visually stunning worldwide but also make a caffeine-free tea that promotes relaxation. The best time to enjoy it is in the afternoon, after stepping away from daily stress.
Lavender is visually appealing and packed with benefits. It helps relieve seasonal allergies, colds, respiratory infections, headaches, migraines, and supports kidney function. It also reduces body odor. For spring allergy symptoms like sneezing and watery eyes, lavender tea is recommended.
Preparation:
Mix fresh or dried lavender with rose petals and orange blossom. Steep for 20 minutes. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice when serving for extra zest.
