Life and Tea

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” – Henry David Thoreau

It is mesmerizing to know that earth gives us so many seasons and so many reasons to enjoy it so abundantly. With summer comes the hydrating fruits, with winter comes the warming spices, and with rain comes the goodness of herbs.

Then follows the main question- how well do we use these offerings to fortify ourselves to relish each season? Let us talk about the monsoon- with landscaping views, the rains bring in an array of discomforts and touches of flu! Baam… taking one’s immunity for a ride.

But little do we know, the remedy is right here, in our mum’s kitchen cabinet! Tea, herbs, roots, spices, and flowers which are abundant in nature are known to help build a strong immune system that can easily fight the incessant attack on our body – day in and day out! Just steep a combination of spices and herbs together in water, and TADA- an elixir to heal is ready.

As you may be aware, a cup of tea is composed of a few hundred plus active substances – proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids plus chlorophyll, and cellulose. What makes a cuppa tea so astonishingly healthy is the presence of polyphenols and alkaloids, which help the body regulate itself, cleanse from within by getting rid of the poisonous toxins and free radicals (which causes permanent damage to the body’s DNA).

The caffeine present in tea (yes, TEA IS NOT CAFFEINE FREE BEVERAGE) helps stimulate the central nervous system and also the cardiovascular system by enlarging the diameter of the cerebral cortex vessels – which, in turn, helps sharpen the mind, and definitely helps enhance intellectual acumen, gets rid of fatigue feeling and helps one concentrate better.

Tea with so many health benefits when carefully and thoughtfully infused with spices and herbs is known to do wonders for the body, mind, and soul!
