Herbal Teas for Energy
Here are some simple herbal teas made from herbs that give you energy. I tend to burn at both ends of the candle most days. These blends are lifesavers. They should all be made with fresh or dried organic herbs if possible. Beginning the day, I see that life is a miracle. Attentive to each moment, I keep my mind clear like a calm river. Thich Nhat Hanh So why not drink coffee or soda pop all day you ask? The answer is quite simple. Coffee contains lots of caffeine and so does pop. Pop also has tons of sugar in it. Diet pop has artificial sweeteners which are extremely bad for you. They should be outlawed (with any luck they will). Pop has phosphorous too, which throws our balance off with calcium. Meaning that if you get too much phosphorous in relation to calcium, the calcium gets pulled from your bones to maintain the balance. I don’t have to tell you that’s not good. Stamina City Herbal Tea 1 part Dandelion root 1 part Sarsaparilla root 1 part Siberian Ginseng root 1/2 part cooked Rehmannia root 1/8 part Cinnamon chips 1/8 part Licorice root In a large pot bring 1 quart water to a boil. In a bowl mix together all ingredients. Add 1/2 cup of the mixture to the boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and steep 15 minutes, strain. Drink 1-3 cups per day, as needed.
Natures gift to us are plants that give us nutrition and energy. And that all comes without the jitters or the sugar lows. They contain the vitamins and minerals that go together to keep us healthy.

You can mix these blends in larger quantities and keep in a sealed glass jar. You can also bag it in individual tea bags. They come in bulk and you just fill and iron shut. I use them a lot because they are so easy to just grab and go. You can buy any of these products bulk at Mountain Rose Herbs including the iron shut tea bags. They also have blends already in the bag. You just might find your own herbal tea for energy while you're browsing their site.  Of course you can always drink green tea. It is good hot or iced. Mix it with lemon, honey, or ginseng for a added twist. Enjoy life with natural herbal teas that Mother Nature has so graciously given us. There are herbs for energy, health, wellness, sleep, and many more uses. Explore the options. You have man made products, over the counter drugs or prescription drugs or natures own remedies. I think nature beats all. Nothing on this page has been approved by the FDA and is not intended to replace the medical advice of your Healthcare Professional.
