Herbal teas, a must have
To adopt a healthy lifestyle and to treat the body gently, herbal teas are great allies. They are: natural, versatile and therapeutic. Each plant has its own properties that are beneficial to the body. If you are not yet a fan of herbal teas, stay with me. Today I'm going to give you 10 good reasons to have them at home :

In winter, drinking herbal teas can be very useful if your owner controls the temperature in your home, if you watch your electricity bill or if you live near a lake or river.
#2. To replace your coffee
Herbal teas are caffeine-free drinks that you can consume throughout the day hot or cold. You will therefore no longer have to deprive yourself of drinking it at a certain time so as not to interfere with your sleep.
Not all plants are created equal! As an alternative to coffee, opt for infusions that provide energy and vitality.
