Herbal teas have been household staples for thousands of years — but these days, as we become household staples ourselves (thank you, quarantine), the stuff is growing increasingly mainstream. We're seeing more and more varieties of iced and packaged tea in our local health food stores, celebrities are touting the benefits of various holistic botanical blends, and we're even clocking strains of wellness tea in our targeted Instagram ads.
That said, as we continue to stock our kitchen cabinets with boxed blends of jasmine and eucalyptus, do we actually know anything about the roster of herbs depicted on their labels?
For the most part, herbs used in consumer teas come from long-standing holistic traditions; they've been used as remedies throughout history. So, while scientists have only begun to scratch the surface when it comes to verifying the benefits of plant medicines, we still have years of anecdotal evidence to help us make our personal, medicinal selections in the realm of herbal tea. That’s why we consulted tea purveyor Traditional Medicinals' clinical herbalist, Amber Valenzuela, for some essential info on the 29 herbs most classically found in commercial teas. Of course, everyone is unique, so be sure to talk to your doctor, herbalist, or other healthcare provider to see if these herbs are right for you:
