Turmeric is known as a healing superfood with anti-inflammatory properties. Its benefits are well-known, but this is not the only good choice. Turmeric is very easy to find, can be easily prepared at home and can be used as a caffeine free drink. The spice kick is very versatile as it can be combined with many herbs.
It still sells
There is no one who does not like to relax and unwind, and chamomile tea is known to give this feeling. Not only this, chamomile is recommended for many reasons. It promotes good sleep and reduces stress and anxiety. It helps with menstrual pain, osteoporosis and even cold symptoms. You can drink a cup of chamomile in the evening or a few hours before going to bed to enjoy its benefits.
Hibiscus tea
If you like orange ale with a floral scent, this is the right choice for you. Another caffeine-free herbal tea, hibiscus tea can help fight certain types of cancer and control blood pressure. It promotes liver health and can even help with weight loss. Hibiscus tea is very easy to prepare. However, homemade or ready-to-serve teas are excellent substitutes.

Ginger tea
You can drink a cup or two of ginger tea when you are sick. These are the teas that come to mind when treating sore throats, coughs and colds. Ginger tea helps prevent indigestion and is an effective remedy for nausea. It also contains ginger, compounds that give it a distinct taste and aroma that can help with diabetes. You can prepare a cup of fresh ginger or mix it with black tea, tea tea (milk or without milk) and green tea. Some of the best ingredients for making ginger tea are readily available in your kitchen. Spices and herbs such as amla, lemon, black pepper, honey and turmeric mixed with ginger enhance their antimicrobial properties.
