The Power of Healing Teas: Recap of Dr. D'Jahna Thomas' Presentation
Last Sunday, Livingwell hosted a deeply insightful and engaging event on the benefits of herbal teas, presented by the remarkable Dr. D’Jahna Thomas, MD. We want to take a moment to thank Dr. Thomas for her thoughtful presentation on how herbal teas can help keep us healthy during the winter season.
From understanding the healing properties of roots, bulbs, and herbs to learning how to prepare nourishing teas at home, attendees walked away with practical tools to boost their wellness naturally. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights:
Healing Teas for Winter Health
Dr. Thomas shared how herbal teas made from garlic, ginger, turmeric, and other powerful ingredients can address common winter ailments, such as:
Respiratory Infections: Cough, sore throat, runny nose, and body aches.
Gastrointestinal Issues: Bloating, nausea, and stomach cramps.
Featured Herbal Remedies
Here are some of the standout herbs discussed during the session:
Garlic: Antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory. Perfect for boosting immunity and fighting infections.
Ginger: A soothing choice for nausea and indigestion, packed with antioxidant and analgesic properties.
Hyssop: Great for sore throats and bloating.
Turmeric: Reduces muscle and joint pain while strengthening the immune system.
Echinacea: Helps prevent and reduce the severity of infections.
Oregano: Relieves coughs and body aches while supporting overall immune health.
Practical Tips for Tea Preparation
Dr. Thomas also demonstrated how to make these teas at home using simple ingredients and methods. Attendees got to sample:
Garlic Tea: A blend of garlic, honey, and lemon to boost immunity.
Fresh Ginger Tea: A warm and spicy remedy perfect for nausea and bloating.
Safe Herbal Tea Practices
Dr. Thomas emphasized the importance of safety when using herbal remedies. She recommended using high-quality brands like Traditional Medicinals, Pukka, Numi Teas, Republic of Tea, Stash, and Yogi Tea for tea bags, as they avoid harmful chemicals in their packaging. For those preparing their own teas, she advised properly storing dried herbs and consulting a doctor or herbalist, especially for pregnant individuals or those with liver or kidney concerns.
