We’ll also cover chamomile tea for sleep quality, peppermint tea for digestion, ginger tea for nausea, and the honest answer to when a supplement is the better choice than the cup. Plus, exactly how to brew each one so you get the most from every steep.What you’ll learn:* The six healthiest teas to stock in your cupboard and why each one earned its spot* How hibiscus tea may help lower blood pressure naturally, and who benefits most* Green tea benefits for brain health and longevity in regular tea drinkers* Chamomile tea for sleep: what it improves and what it doesn’t* Peppermint tea for digestion and ginger tea for nausea: when tea works and when to consider the capsule* Brewing temperatures, steep times, and the best time of day for each teaDr. Marbas Substack Article: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/what-if-the-most-powerful-thing-inCheck out the Habit Healers Community: https://www.skool.com/habithealers/about Get full access to The Habit Healers at drlauriemarbas.substack.com/subscribe
