NETTLES: Nettle tea is a delicious and beneficial beverage that can treat urinary problems, soothe allergies and hives, treat gout, lower blood pressure, improve skin, hair, and bone health. The tea is a detox drink that helps treat hay fever, boost the immune system, protect the heart, optimize digestion, and relieve inflammation, among others.
Nettle tea can be quite a strong beverage, and has a rapid effect on the body, primarily due to the flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals found in the plant. Stinging nettle is rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, and K. As compared to leafy green vegetables, it is richer in calcium and magnesium. The leaves are protein-dense equivalent to spinach, and the same leaves can be dried and steeped into a tea. It also contains iodine, iron, silicon, and potassium. The antioxidants alone are enough to make it a healthy food, but the specific effects of this plant that have been discovered over the years make it even more attractive to natural healers and practitioners.
MINT: Aids digestion and helps to remove stomach pains. Mint is a great appetizer, and due to its soft aroma, it soothes the stomach. The aroma triggers the mouth to produce more saliva and more digestive enzymes. As you can imagine, this aids digestion tremendously. Strengthen Your Liver. When your liver is chugging along slowly, you’re going to be feeling pretty dismal.
A poorly functioning liver is an energy sap. Thankfully, one of the great mint nutritional benefits is that it is a powerful liver booster. The health benefits of beetroot are also fantastic for the liver.Cool Your Body. You know that song – “Rock Your Body”? Well, if you listen carefully to mint leaves, you’ll hear them singing “Cool Your Body”… In all seriousness, mint is a cooling herb. Consuming mint causes your body to slightly lower its temperature. This is one reason that Mint goes great in fruity, summery drinks (like the juicer recipes I describe below!).
It is also perfect for tea when you have a sore throat!Eliminate Mucus. Mint is an Expectorant. Mint encourages the body to eliminate mucus from the airways, lungs, bronchi and trachea. It promotes the drainage of mucus from the lungs.Defeat Cancer. Like all nutritious plant food, mint is believed to have strong cancer-fighting powers. This health benefit of mint leaves is probably due to the variety of enzymes that mint contains.
ROSE PETALS: Rose petals contain mostly fibers, vitamin C, Vitamin A and other minerals. However the medicinal benefits of rose can be attributed to presence of phytochemcials present. Rose petals contain terpenes, glycosides, flavonoids and anthocyanins which have beneficial effect on health.
Compounds like β-citronellol, carboxylic acid, myrcene, nonadecane, quarcetin, geraniol, nerol, Phenethyl alcohol heneicosane and kaempferol are present in rose flowers.Benefits of rose petal tea includes its ability to detoxify body, cure cold and other respiratory disorders, help blood circulation and treat gastro intestinal problems.
