All about our Healing Herbs Range
Our Aaah! range of Healing Herbalist Blends are blended by our herbalist for specific health needs. This way you can be assured that your herbal tea will be therapeutically active.
Essentially what this means, is our herbalist has mixed the herbs correctly, so they are all in the effective dose required. If you try to put too many herbs into one blend – then the dosages are too low and the herbs become ineffective.
How do our Herbal Blends differ from teabags?
Herbal teas that you might buy at the supermarket are a great way to get a wide variety of flavours and also hydration, but if you are after a herbal tea to give you a health benefit, they really are not going to do the trick.
Tea bags contain herbs that are very processed, crushed very small and powdered – in order to be able to fit into a tea bag. When powdering and crushing a herb, especially when done months in advance, the therapeutic essential oils are often lost and damaged. Also the dosages are far too low to have much of a health benefit.
To really take advantage of the health giving properties of herbal teas, you need to use fresh loose leaf herbs – blended correctly! Then you will find that herbal infusions are an easy and pleasant tasting way to treat many health conditions such as digestive conditions, stress, skin disorders, allergies, circulatory problems, tiredness and many more complaints.
At aaah! we blend our Herbalist Blends when you order. If the tea contains seeds, for example the fennel or cinnamon, we will grind those seeds at the time of packing the tea and blend in with the rest of the blend. This ensures you get the most out of the essential oils from the herbs and spices.
What do they taste like?
Well there is no doubt some herbs taste really horrible in a tea and are better taken in a capsule! We don't tend to use these herbs and instead opt for equally as effective herbs that have a milder or more pleasant taste.
So when creating each blend they were carefully tasted and adjusted to improve flavour. We use ingredients like peppermint, cinnamon, licorice and other nice tasting herbs in all of the blends to cover the flavours of the less pleasant herbs - this ensures they are enjoyable to drink.
There is no point in having a great blend if it tastes bitter and not pleasant and you can’t finish the cup – it doesn’t matter how good it is for you if you can’t drink it.
Our Detox-me is a great example of this – it contains gentle detoxing herbs and spices but tastes wonderful – a sweet orange, cinnamon spicy flavour.
