Grow Your Herbal Teas

Who does not like to start or end their day with a warm, soothing cup of herbal tea? Very few, I guess. So, it would be more exciting to grow your herbal tea right at home. It is a windowsill herb that not only adds beauty to your space but also satisfies your craving for caffeine-free tea.

 Why Grow Your Herbal Teas?

Herbal teas are full of antioxidants, help with digestion, and improve sleep. In addition, they ease anxiety and may even reduce joint pain. Moreover, you can enjoy unlimited access to clean, green, and homemade goodness.

Healing in Every Leaf

Here are some powerful herbal teas you can grow at home and their wellness perks:

  • Peppermint – Promotes digestion, soothes nausea, and boosts alertness.
  • Chamomile – Calms anxiety and aids restful sleep.
  • Lemon Verbena – Said to help reduce joint pain and inflammation.
  • Feverfew – Traditionally used to relieve migraines and muscle pain.
  • Stevia – A natural sweetener that supports low-sugar living.

 Best Spot to Grow Tea Herbs

I have observed that most herbal plants love sunlight. Therefore, I prefer to place them on DIY hanging shelves by a sunny window.
