Hi my name is Joy and I’m glad you’re here. I am a certified medical assistant. During the Pandemic my siblings got together on Zoom at least once a week.
My children and their families often joined the conversations. We talked and drank bush tea like we did when we were growing up.
When we were young onThursday nights we would all sit around the dining table, drink bush tea and talk about any and everything.
This was until my mother shooed us to bed because it was a school night.
Those “chat sessions” during the pandemic got me wondering whether bush teas have other benefits apart from the sense of community they provide. So I began to do some research.
I became intrigued by the many benefits that herbal teas made from local plants have-even those plants we label as nuisance weeds.
So the idea of Bush Tea Benefits was born. My goal is to find the connection between the use of herbal teas as traditional medicine and what modern research says about their benefits using simple language readers understand.
So I invite you to join me as I explore the real benefits and uses of bush teas (herbal infusions) from across the globe.
