Health Benefits of Teas and Tisanes (Herbal Teas) - Infographic from Express Vending

What is a Tisane?

Tisane (from the French word "herbal infusion") is an herbal tea consumed for its medicinal properties and health benefits.

Tisanes are commonly made from a decoction of dried herbs, flowers, fruits and spices and are distinguished from "true teas" (black, green, white, etc.) because they do not contain any actual tea leaves.

Health Benefits

Generally, both true teas and herbal teas are considered to confer a variety of health benefits.

Specific herbal teas, or tisanes, are often associated with specific illnesses, health issues and medical conditions.

Over the centuries, specific herbal preparations and blends have been developed to address inflammation, high blood pressure, insomnia, infections, digestive disorders, water retention and bloating, chronic fatigue, memory ... the list goes on.

Some tisanes are also used for detoxification and cleansing and as an aid in weight loss.

For example, Ginger Tea is thought to be effective for nausea, morning sickness, dizziness and menstrual pain.

The scientific studies suggesting positive health benefits of consuming various teas just keep pouring in.

Drinking tea has been linked to everything from free radical and fat oxidation (e.g., weight and belly fat loss), to detoxification of the liver, kidneys and other body systems, to lowering the risk of many medical disorders and chronic diseases including certain cancer, obesity and diabetes.

With so many teas now available on the market and because each type of tea has its own characteristics, it can be difficult and confusing to figure out how to choose and brew each type of tea to maximize its health benefit potential.

This is why we love this infographic entitled "Choose and Brew the Perfect Cup" which beautifully illustrates the flavor profile, caffeine content, steeping temperature and brewing time for the following eight types of popular teas:

✿ Black Tea
✿ White Tea
✿ Green Tea
✿ Herbal Tea
✿ Oolong Tea
✿ Pu'erh Tea
✿ Yerba Mate Tea
✿ Rooibos

For the best results, always use filtered water, select organic whenever possible, check for freshness, and purchase your tea from reputable sources.

15 Herbal Teas for Health and Every Ailment

Undoubtedly, you've heard about the many great health benefits of drinking green tea.

Green tea is even touted for weight loss. Although everyone has a different experience, my own experiment with green tea resulted in a small amount of weight loss - without any other changes in my diet or exercise and without any other extra effort. I simply replaced the morning coffee with a cup of green tea and drank 2-3 more cups of green tea throughout the day.

In my view, green tea is not the magic bullet for losing weight, but it really seems to help.

But green tea is not the only tea with promising (and, according to some sources, proven) health and healing benefits.
