Medicinal plants in this herbal tea
Peppermint is a hybrid species; a cross between watermint and spearmint. It is renowned for the beneficial qualities it provides for the digestive and respiratory systems, and it also promotes relaxation.
This herbaceous plant was originally found in the Mediterranean basin, and is well known for the aromas and sweet, mildly spicy taste of its seeds. Alongside its use in dishes, aniseed is traditionally used to relieve stomach aches, bloating and digestive problems.
Lemon balm is a herbaceous plant with a lemon fragrance. It was already recognised for its beneficial qualities in ancient Greece, when hippocrates extolled its ability to soothe stomach pains: he wasn't wrong – its soothing properties make lemon balm a key ingredient for improved digestion.
This aromatic plant has thin leaves and crisp stalks, and has found favour due to its mild, aniseed-like flavour. Fennel is renowned for its digestive benefits, and helps to relieve bloating and digestive problems.
