Buddha Teas provide an exclusive range of not only delicious but nutritious tea blends. Each tea is made using unadulterated ingredients which when combined into a tea provide a range of health benefits. The new range stands true to these principles and now provides you with something new for your tastebuds to enjoy.
If you are looking for a tea which soothes and promotes overall wellness this is my first choice. How does turmeric work?
Turmeric contains a chemical called curcumin. This chemical has been linked to decreasing inflammation in the body and as a result may help in conditions like:
- Arthritis
- Skin conditions and sores
- Heartburn
- Stomach pain
- Digestive diseases e.g. Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Ulcerative Colitis.
- Headaches
- Colds and lung infections
- Urinary bladder inflammation
- Depression
- Alzheimer’s disease
Paired with ginger which also has anti-inflammatory properties to further promote wellness in your body. Ginger also may improve digestive health as well as having antiviral and antifungal factors. A highlight of this spice if ginger has a soothing effect on your stomach and may help reduce symptoms of nausea. Overall, this tea is a great tea to include in your week to help keep your body in an optimal state of wellness.
A unique tea in that it provides the nutrition benefits found in mushrooms. Mushrooms are known for their B vitamins which are essential in your body to help make energy from the food you eat. Three highlight B vitamins are pantothenic acid, which helps with the production of hormones and plays an important role your nervous system function. Secondly, riboflavin, which helps you maintain healthy red blood cells. Finally, niacin, which promotes healthy skin and makes sure your digestive and nervous systems function properly.
Mushrooms also contains potassium which supports healthy blood pressure and copper which is important for hair and eye health and for energy to be used efficiently in your body. On top of these impressive benefits mushrooms contain antioxidant components including selenium, choline and vitamin C which help eliminate the free radicals. Free radicals can lead to the breakdown of the cells in your body which ultimately causes disease and death. The four varieties of mushrooms in this tea are linked to abilities to support optimal immune function so it is like giving your body a hug drinking this tea.
Spearmint leaf is a great addition to this tea with its soothing effects and may help relieve the symptoms of bloating. Ginger, lemongrass, and Anise Seed adds additional soothing effects to your gut. Organic rooibos is low in tannins which means if you combine this tea with an iron rich meal or snack it will have less of an effect on the absorption of this mineral in your body. I would summarise this tea as a gut loving tea which enhances overall wellbeing.
If you are looking for a tea which feels cleansing, then this is the one for you. All the ingredients included support overall wellness which helps your body work at its best. The combination of turmeric with black pepper means the active ingredient curcumin can better absorbed by your body and consequently greater health effects received. Ginger provides the soothing effect for your gut as well as antioxidants.
Liquorice with over 300 different compounds to promote wellness is a great addition to this tea blend. It may help relieve skin inflammation as well as providing relief to stomach nausea and pain. Burdock root like all the ingredients in this detox tea blend contain antioxidants. Burdock can boast a fantastic range of antioxidants including phenolic compounds, quercetin and luteolin which all work in your body in different ways to help fight off free radicals.
Sarsaparilla root is another ingredient which adds anti-bacterial properties. It contains chemicals called saponins which may help improve blood cholesterol levels and insulin sensitivity. Fennel seeds are your guts best friend and may help relieve uncomfortable symptoms like diarrhoea and indigestion. Also, another ingredient with anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.
Cardamom seeds may help promote a healthy blood pressure as well as promoting optimal digestive health. Overall, this tea looks after your gut to be able to look after the rest of your body.
Take home message: These three new tea varieties by Buddha Teas I will be enjoying in my week as part of an overall balanced diet. The hardest choice will be deciding which to drink first. It is important to mention that if you are taking any medication or have any medical conditions always check with your GP first that the ingredients in these teas do not have any contraindications.
