Have you ever thought of medicinal plants being able to protect your body mind and spirit? Teas and herbal infusions have always held spiritual energy. Actually all herbs and plants have energy, they are sentient, alive beings. Taking time to make a soothing cup of herbal tea, you are allowing yourself to go within. You soften your thoughts and begin to hear the voice of your intuition.
If you want to gain all the spiritual benefits that a healing herbal infusion has to offer, you need to take some time in preparing it. Just sticking a tea bag in hot water is not really tea. A good tea is made with intention and focus. To make the best tea, use a teapot or a cup with a lid such as a small saucer. Doing this lets the essential oils condense back into the liquid. Brew teas for at least 5 minutes and herbal infusions for 4-8 hours.
