But with a little guidance and effort you can find a tea suited for just about any health issue you may need to relieve.

I previously wrote about the power of green tea to help prevent and treat rheumatoid arthritis and about Chinese teas for health. Today, I’d like to summarize for you the more popular TCM medicinal teas and their benefits.

Popular TCM medicinal teas

Medicinal herbal teas in TCM do not usually contain actual tea. Rather, they are a combination of different herbs, plants, roots and so on that is processed in specific ways and boiled together to make a “tea.”
