Journey from Tea to Herbal Tea (Divine Drink)
Herbs
Mom, please give me tea.
Every morning, sipping bed tea was great happiness. Tea used to energise
me & set myself for the day. Whenever I needed, energy, I used to
demand tea. I never got to know that I was addicted to tea. Post
marriage too, the habit remained. Luckily, I got an early riser husband who used
to offer bed tea to me. There were many occasions where I had to wake up without
bed tea, which appeared to me as punishments. In the office too,
I used to consume 3-4 cups of tea during 8 – 9 hours of job
duration. I tried green tea many times but not able to replace it.
Recently, my brother advised me with scientific logics to leave
tea. Besides, I read lot about Herbal Tea which enhanced curiosity in me to
know it further.
Tea is a hot drink made by
pouring boiling water onto the dried leaves of tea plant. The process of making tea creates
the difference. Tea leaves also have medicinal value. Emperor
Shen Nung of China discovered tea 5000 years ago. When
China was showing monopoly in producing tea, Britishers initiated
the tea leaves production in Assam Valley and Darjeeling. Gradually,
India became 2nd largest producer of tea
leaves after China.
Herb is a plant whose parts
like leaves, roots, seeds etc. are used in making medicine. Indian culture and civilisation
is the oldest civilisation. We have books written by Susrita Samhita
& Charak on herbs and their medicinal values. If we put herbs in
the boiling water, the essence of the herbs oozes the flavour in the boiling
water which act as boon for keeping us healthy.

After 20-25 years, I have left
the tea drinking habit. Now, I do not depend on anybody for my
bed tea. The herbal tea has made my life magical. If I am not
able to make herbal tea, I use readymade herbal Divya Pey from Patanjali
having many herbs in it.
Indian vedic culture is very strong & meaningful. We Indians are the first to create herbal tea (Divine Drink) as medicine long back. I feel proud of Indian Civilisation, Culture & Values.
