Herbal teas and infusions are known for their beneficial properties and are very appreciated for their pleasant and delicate taste. Moreover, tisanes are a valid alternative to tea, since they are generally caffeine-free.
The use of herbal teas has very long-standing roots.
The ancient civilizations knew local plants that can be beneficial for many common illnesses and diseases.
Romans and Greeks, Egyptians, Arabs and Orientals, have helped over the centuries to create a herbal science, investigating the healing properties of certain medicinal plants. During the Middle Ages, the preparations of herbal teas become more sophisticated and many Greek and Roman writings on medicine were preserved by hand copying of manuscripts in cloisters, handed down until today. The cloisters thus tended to become local centres of medical knowledge, and their herb gardens provided the raw materials for the simple treatment of common disorders.
