MEDICINAL TEAS
 (SINGLE HERBAL INFUSIONS)

from AMAZON HERBS®
Natural pharmacy

Medicinal teas are not actually teas; they are usually referred to as infusions and are all-natural.
Wide varieties are available - many have significant scientific backing to their claims, others do not. Teas often are better sources of bio-available compounds than the powdered herb (as in capsules and pills), but are relatively weak in action compared to tinctures.
Herbal dietary supplements* are generally considered as safe (GRAS) and have far fewer side effects than prescription- and OTC drugs.

 The best way to prepare a tea infusion
Heat the water to just below boiling.
Medicinal tea Put one heaped teaspoon of medicinal tea per cup in a porcelain- or glass pot. Pour the hot (not boiling!) water over the leaves.
Use mineral- or good quality drinking water.
Let steep for at least 2 - 5 minutes, depending on the species, before straining.
If a stronger infusion is desired, let stand for 10 - 30 minutes before straining and drinking
Occasionally stirring during steeping is recommended.
A strong infusion should be sipped in small quantities during the day since it may be too strong to drink a cup at once.
Use a tea strainer or mesh ball infuser for this purpose; if you use a paper filter, use the unbleached type.
