Description
Five Herbs Tea is an herbal blend of Linden, Chamomile, Mint, Orange, and Verbena that promotes feelings of calm and relaxation. This blend is an ideal choice for the end of a day, after dinner, or before bedtime.
The fragrant and tasty linden flowers have been used medicinally as a calming agent and to relieve indigestion, the common cold, and griping or colicky pain in the abdomen. Many of these uses have been confirmed or partially confirmed in modern research. Linden flowers act as a diaphoretic when consumed as a hot tea. Diaphoretics induce a mild fever, thereby possibly helping promote the immune system's ability to fight infections. The fever usually does not go very high because the diaphoretic also causes sweating, the body's natural way of lowering its temperature. The German Commission E has approved linden flower for the treatment of colds and cold-related coughs.
Chamomile has been described by Germans as "Alles zutraut", meaning "capable of anything" due to their belief that chamomile can relieve many ailments. The active ingredients are found in the essential volatile oils from the flowers of chamomile. Research has demonstrated that apigenin is the ingredient responsible for chamomile's anti-inflammatory, calming, mildly sedative and anti-spasmodic effects. Other constituents including Azulene, Chamazuline, Bisabolol and Matricine also have anti-inflammatory effects.
Chamomile taken internally, prevents and treats ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems including indigestion, gastritis, heartburn, and flatulence. The flavonoid known as apigenin, has been recognized for its calmative properties and ability to induce relaxation. As a result, Chamomile is a popular remedy used to treat and prevent anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, stress and insomnia.
Mint is often taken internally or used topically for it's calming and soothing properties. It has been prescribed for a distressed nervous system and as a muscle relaxant in addition to it's wonderful benefits for the skin.
Native of Europe, Verbena is extensively cultivated in other countries. Verbena has long been credited with magical properties and was used in ceremonies by the Romans, Druids of ancient Britain and Gaul. It is a traditional herbal medicine in both China and Europe. Verbena is used in mouth washes for infected gums and as a poultice for hemorrhoids. A tea has been used as a nerve tonic, to treat insomnia and to help digestion. It has tonic, restorative properties, and is used to relieve stress and anxiety, and to improve digestive function. Verbean also acts as a mild sedative, a mild bitter, and effectively stimulates bile secretion.
The scent of Orange, especially Orange essential oil, provides a feling of revitalization when one is lacking energy, giving positive feelings. Orange, with all it's mood-lifting benefits, provides the perfect accompaniment to it's counterparts which promote relaxation and restfulness.

Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
