Stuck in the rut of drinking plain old English breakfast tea? There is a whole world of delicious herbal teas that don’t just taste great, but also have a number of health benefits. Carol McFadden is a huge proponent of a cup of warming tea and using their healing properties to bring you back to your old self. In this guide Carol McFadden talks about different herbal teas and what they can do for you. This is based on centuries of research and use from different cultures and sources, as well as Carol’s years of personal experience as a wellness coach and herbalist. Everything from rosehip to ginger is covered in the presentation to give you an excellent grounding when you next find yourself in the supermarket tea aisle.

1. Herbal tea and its benefits

2. Why drink herbal tea?
 Don’t just take Carol McFadden’s word for it, herbal teas have been used for their
health benefits for thousands of years by pretty much every culture. Different
blends have different benefits (but we’ll go into that later) both in body and mind.
 They taste delicious!
 I’m a firm believer that taking the time to enjoy a warming cup of tea can be a
tonic for your sense of calm and wellbeing. In fact, as part of my Carol McFadden
wellness coaching, that is often the first place I start.
 In this presentation we’ll look over some different teas you can try for different
ailments.

3. Types of tea
 Chamomile – A calming night-time tea, this has very mild sedative effects which
can help send you off to sleep, and also relieve anxiety symptoms. Studies have
shown this also boosts your immune system, meaning you can help stave off colds
and flu. Using this topically on skin and scalp can also alleviate dandruff, eczema
and psoriasis.
 Ginger – This tea is probably best known for its stomach easing properties. It settles
any tummy upsets including indigestion and gas. Ginger is also an antiemetic, so
can be used if you’re feeling nauseous, or by pregnant women wanting relieve their
morning sickness.
 Echinacea – Fight your common cold with this vitamin packed blend. This one is a
Carol McFadden favourite.

4. Types of tea
 Hibiscus – A study completed in the US found that participants who drank three
cups of this a day lowered their blood pressure to optimum levels. This is lovely
taken hot or cold.
 Lemon balm – With its lemon and mint properties, this tea boosts moods and can
even be used to help reduce nightmares before bed with younger children.
 Rosehip tea – Full of vitamin C, this blend is wonderful any time you feel run-down
or are trying to keep your skin and hair looking great.
