How My Potted Herb Garden Supports My Goals
1. Enhancing My Health & Wellness: Herbs are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support digestion, immunity, and overall health. By incorporating them into my daily routine—whether as herbal teas, seasonings, or natural remedies—I am giving my body the nourishment it needs to thrive. Some herbs I plan to grow include:
- Ginger – A powerful anti-inflammatory that boosts digestion and metabolism.
- Peppermint – Refreshing and great for digestion, bloating, and energy.
- Lemongrass – Detoxifying, improves circulation, and supports digestion.
- Dandelion – Supports liver detox and reduces water retention.
- Hibiscus (Sorrel) – High in Vitamin C, supports glowing skin and heart health
- Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory, supports joint health, and enhances skin radiance.
2. Supporting My Fitness & Energy Levels: As part of my wellness journey, I have committed to daily movement, whether through 30-minute walks or other exercises. Many herbs naturally boost energy, aid in recovery, and reduce inflammation, making them the perfect complement to my fitness routine. For example:
- Ginger tea in the morning can help kickstart my metabolism and digestion.
- Peppermint tea after a workout can soothe muscles and aid digestion.
- Moringa tea midday provides essential vitamins and minerals to sustain energy levels.
3. Boosting Skin Health & Natural Glow: Herbs like hibiscus (sorrel), turmeric, and dandelion are rich in antioxidants and support radiant, youthful skin. Herbal teas keep my skin hydrated, reduce inflammation, and give me that natural glow I want when modeling my crochet swimwear.
- Hibiscus tea – High in Vitamin C, promotes collagen production.
- Turmeric tea – Reduces inflammation and supports skin clarity.
- Dandelion tea – Helps cleanse the liver, which is essential for glowing skin.
4. Creating an Inspiring Lifestyle for Women 50+: This journey is also about empowerment and inspiration. I want to show women that feeling confident, fit, and beautiful is achievable at any age. By sharing my potted herb garden journey, I hope to encourage others to embrace self-care, wellness, and natural living.
The Power of Herbal Teas in My Routine
Drinking herbal tea is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to incorporate the benefits of herbs into daily life. Whether it’s for energy, detox, digestion, or relaxation, I am making herbal teas a staple in my wellness routine.
Can You Drink Herbal Tea Daily?
One may ask, can I drink herbal tea daily? Absolutely! Herbal teas are generally safe and beneficial for daily consumption, especially when made from natural, caffeine-free herbs. Rotating different types of teas ensures a balanced variety of health benefits.
Best Times to Drink Herbal Tea:
The best times to drink herbal teas depend on your goals and the herbs you are using. My suggestion is to enjoy them in the morning, afternoon, and evening for different benefits:
- Morning: Ginger, peppermint, or lemongrass tea for an energy boost.
- Afternoon: Moringa or hibiscus tea to sustain energy and promote skin health.
- Evening: Chamomile or lavender tea to relax and improve sleep quality.
- Detox Days: Dandelion or cerasee tea to support liver cleansing and digestion.
To be honest, I sometimes drink herbal tea even when I am just thirsty! Herbal teas are a great way to stay hydrated while also getting additional health benefits. The key is to choose the right tea for the right moment so that it supports your body’s natural rhythms.
How Herbal Tea Supports My Goals
Herbal teas are more than just a soothing drink for me. Early we spoke about how my potted herb garden will support my ‘Confident 50+ Swimwear Journey/Goals’. Now let’s talk about how herbal tea supports my goals.
Herbal teas are a key part of my health and wellness journey. They support my body from the inside out, helping me feel confident, energized, and glowing as I work towards my goals. You might be wondering, How exactly does herbal tea help? Well, here’s how:
- Boosts metabolism & digestion – Drinking herbal teas like ginger, peppermint, and lemongrass helps keep my digestion running smoothly, making me feel lighter and more energized throughout the day.
- Reduces bloating & inflammation – Some herbs, like turmeric, soursop leaf, and dandelion, help fight inflammation and bloating, which means I can feel and look my best—especially when I’m modeling my crochet swimwear!
- Relaxes & manages stress – Life gets busy, and stress can creep in, but calming teas like chamomile, lavender, and soursop leaf help me unwind, sleep better, and stay consistent in my wellness routine.
- Hydrates & nourishes my skin – Herbal teas, especially hibiscus and moringa, provide antioxidants and hydration that give my skin a natural, healthy glow.
Drinking herbal teas is such a simple habit, yet it makes a big difference in how I feel every day. Whether I’m sipping tea in the morning for a metabolism boost, in the afternoon for hydration, or in the evening for relaxation, I know I’m supporting my body in the best way possible.
