Benefits of botanical infusions in addressing health concerns

Botanical infusions are often referred to as tea — which isn’t surprising since it’s what most people are familiar with. Technically speaking though, true teas are made from the leaves of a specific plant, Camellia sinensis, and only include black, green, white, oolong and pu-erh in its roster. Using other plants and plant parts then takes consumers to the domain of botanical or herbal infusions.

Containing leaves, barks, roots, seeds, flowers, and fruits of different plants that are valued for their therapeutic properties, botanical infusions have a long history that dates back to ancient China and Egypt where they were served as drinks for both enjoyment and medicinal purposes.
