Some people believe herbal teas can heal certain health issues — but is that true?
Herbal teas may cost more, but do they deliver as a health helper, or are we paying more for clever marketing when we experience inconveniences like digestive comfort, immune support, and mood and calm? Are we placing our trust in products, not providers?
Many familiar botanicals and herbal teas like ginger root, dandelion root, chamomile, hibiscus, green tea, lemon balm, and lavender chamomile are recognizable by faithful, longtime consumers who turn to these products regularly, expecting positive results and relief.
This is partially why herbal tea and storytelling are a match made in marketing heaven. Herbal tea comes with a centuries-old practice of holistic use with traditional medicine to quell "subjective immeasurables." That's fancy language for health inconveniences like digestive discomfort, boosting immunity, and the quiet in the storm of emotional balance — a catch-all phrase for anything else not covered by the former two.
While companies that sell herbal tea advocate "curiosity, reasonable expectations, and good information," without FDA approval, herbal tea marketers know better than to promise traditional use of herbal tea as a guaranteed medical outcome, and advise consumer caution when a tea product promises "dramatic or immediate results."
