Herbal research

Welcome to Rivermind's research section. Here, we delve into the science behind our favorite herbs and their influence on body and mind. Many herbs in herbal teas have been used for centuries, and modern studies are increasingly confirming this traditional wisdom.

Important herbs highlighted

• Ginger: contains gingerol and vitamins; supports the immune system and inhibits inflammation.
• Chamomile: rich in flavonoids and minerals; has a calming effect and can help with insomnia, stress and digestive problems.
• Hibiscus: Contains anthocyanins with antiviral and cardiovascular benefits; hibiscus tea may lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol.
• Lavender: Contains essential oils; research shows that lavender tea can reduce anxiety and depression.
• Green tea: rich in polyphenols and L-theanine; supports the immune system and promotes relaxation and clarity.

While herbs offer promising health benefits, it's important to approach them as part of a balanced diet. The effects are mild, and herbal tea is not a substitute for medical treatment; if you have any doubts or existing health conditions, consult a professional.

At Rivermind, we draw inspiration from both tradition and science to help you make conscious choices when enjoying your daily cup of tea.
