Herbal tea bags are handy to have around, they are quick and easy to use, and take up little storage space. Of course not everyone lives near to a source of fresh medicinal plants, so tea bags are good alternative, and are also a good stand-by for those months that fresh herb cannot be found.
The herbal tea bags featured on this page are useful for a variety of treatments, and I have added a short summery of the benefits of each herbal tea, as well as a link to my herb remedy page for each of the plants, which has more in-depth info.
This page contains herbal tea bags which use plants that I have covered on this website, when I add a new plant I add the corresponding tea bags, as I do not like to add anything that I have not tried myself.
All of the herbal tea bags on this page can be purchased online, please click on the pictures to purchase.
