    There is an alchemy in the process of making medicinal tea, as the elemental powers of fire, water, and plant life converge. You mix roots and leaves, flowers and seeds, pour boiling water over the herbs, and watch them steam and brew. You breathe in the fragrant plant oils, taste the rich brew, and believe it will ease your troubles. When you make – rather than simply take – your remedies, the act itself is medicinal.

    Blending tea is one of the simplest and most satisfying ways to reconnect with the ancient herbal practice, a healing system relied upon by every culture in the world. While it may sound like a mysterious art, the blends you will create – for everyday ailments such as the common cold, stress, premenstrual syndrome, indigestion, and seasonal allergies – are very simple, made with safe, versatile, and readily available herbs.

Knowing which herbs to choose, and in what quantities, is both a science and an art. According to the work of renowned herbalist William LeSassier, teas should follow this reliable three-part method for creating effective blends.

    Primary Herbs

    The primary ingredients in a medicinal blend are herbs that directly address specific health issues. Primary herbs make up 70% to 80% of the blend. A particular tea may contain one or several primary herbs; for example, in a good digestion tea, both peppermint and chamomile – two stomach soothers – are primary herbs, while a womens balance tea contains vitex, a hormone regulator.

    Supporting Herbs

    Supporting ingredients in a medicinal blend can nourish and support systems, often soothing and buffering the effects of potent primary herbs. Supporting herbs make up
