Any cozy cup of tea is likely to feel soothing when you’re under the weather or otherwise not at your best. But you can get an extra health-promoting boost from certain teas made with herbs and other natural ingredients, which practitioners of Chinese medicine have used for centuries.

Mixed Flowers Tea
Uses: Relieves constipation... acne... bitter taste in the mouth... irritability... and impatience. Best: Purchase dried, whole flowers from an herbal store or Asian market, Dr. Lee advised—do not use homegrown flowers or flower tea bags, and do not chop or crush the flowers before using. Ingredients...
1 heaping Tbsp. chamomile flowers
1 heaping Tbsp. yellow chrysanthemum flowers
1 heaping Tbsp. jasmine flowers
2 cups water
Honey, optional
Preparation: Place all flowers in a teapot or similar container. Heat water to boiling. Pour hot water over flowers and steep 20 minutes. Filter out and discard solids. If desired, reheat before drinking and/or sweeten with honey to taste.

5 almonds
1½ walnuts
6 peanuts
2 cup goat’s milk or soy milk, heated
Preparation: In a coffee grinder or blender, grind all nuts to a powder. Stir nut mixture into warm or hot milk... stir again as needed while consuming (so nut powders do not sink to the bottom of the cup).

Caution: Do not use nut tea if you have colitis.

An optional ingredient that according to legend was used by Genghis Khan’s soldiers was Ma Huang. Ma Huang is a potent stimulant that must be used with caution and only in small amounts. It has been used for over a thousand years in Chinese herbal medicine to clear phlegm and mucous from the lungs and if used you might notice some coughing up of mucous. With its long history in Chinese herbal medicine it was used with no problems until it was abused in the 21st century and pretty much banned as a herbal supplement, but the raw herb is available for Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you use it, more is not better, use judiciously, better yet consult with your herbalist prior to taking since it is not good if you suffer from certain lung heat conditions.
When cooking Panax Ginseng depending on how it is purchased, sliced, whole, crosscut, the brewing times will be vary. It is suggested if you have purchased a very expensive root, to cook it separately from the other herbs first.
