Taking Advantage of what Botanicals Can Do For Your Life...
Pleasure & Longevity...How Can Botanicals Help?
Botanicals are derived from plants, and those of us interested in pleasure & longevity are especially interested in the health & wellness definition of botanicals: plants and parts of plants with medicinal value or health benefits.
So, where do we begin when looking to take advantage of what botanicals can do for our lives? Let's start with tea.
We consume botanicals (plants) every day in different ways. And we consume them because they are good for us, but also just because they're good...we like them.
We eat them, and we drink them.
With pleasure & longevity in mind, it is difficult to beat tea...and when I say tea, I mean Camellia sinensis, the botanical name for what we enjoy as tea.
Falling in love with tea for the sheer pleasure of drinking it is easy. You can quickly conquer Steeping Perfection and be on your way to tea drinking delight.
The best part comes along with the tea drinking pleasure...for free. It's the Preventative Advantage of Camellia sinensis. By preventative, I mean its ability to assist our body's natural systems in maintaining optimal health by absorbing some of the work the body does to keep us in tip-top shape.
Additionally, the tea is infusing our bodies with bioactive compounds such as vitamins, nutrients, and amino acids responsible for improving health markers such as stress reduction, lowering blood pressure, cardiovascular health, improved cognitive function, and better sleep.
Beyond Tea Drinking Pleasure, green & white teas are especially good for immunity and cognitive function, dark and black teas are especially good for digestive and cardio function, and oolongs are a combination of the above, with enhanced aromatic complexity and delight.
But wait, there is a whole bunch more to botanicals...
Botanicals can help us both maintain and regain system balance.
The bounty of Natural Remedies that Mother Nature has provided us is extensive and powerful.
Beyond the preventative restorative advantages of Camellia sinensis, herbal botanicals are Natural Therapeutics that can help us maintain and rebalance natural systems.
So just what are these Botanical Infusions?...
Botanical Infusions can be a single ingredient or a blend of herbs, fruits, berries, vegetables, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurvedic plants, roots, fungi, rooibos, and honeybush.
Botanical infusions may also include real tea, Camellia sinensis, as a blend ingredient.
When buying herbal tea online, we find many combinations and options. At Drink Great Tea, our criteria for each Nature's Apothecary blend of botanicals we make is that it not only has to address the targeted purpose, but it must taste great, too.

Don't reach for that pill bottle......at least not so quickly...
In our hustle-bustle world today, when we notice something is a little off, too often the first thing we do is reach for a pill bottle...
Pharmaceutical companies have the challenge of creating one-size-fits-all medications, and physicians have the difficult task of prescribing correct dosages for each individual...And that says nothing of putting chemicals into your body that you may not trust...
Pharmaceuticals are BIG BUSINESS, and they have an important place in our lives, but if possible, wouldn't you rather have a natural option where you can control the dosage based on what your body tells you?
One look at the TV ads for the endless array of medications being promoted with their seemingly endless lists of disclaimers is enough to make you wonder if there could be a natural option that could lessen or eliminate your need for the synthetic medications and drugs.
Our Nature's Apothecary Collection provides such an option...isn't it worth a try?
