Anti-inflammatory Teas
Le tisane antinfiammatorie sono molto utili per contrastare gli stati di infiammazione dell’organismo e, a differenza dei medicinali, non hanno controindicazioni, non provocano disturbi gastrici e possono essere assunte anche per lunghi periodi. Sfruttano il potere naturale delle erbe e permettono quindi all’organismo di superare lo stato di dolore, agendo sui tessuti o sui vasi sanguigni, ma oltre a questo sono anche molto gustose da bere. Tisane antinfiammatorie: i benefici e quali scegliere Se non si conoscono a fondo le erbe e le piante officinali non è sempre facile capire quali sono le loro funzioni e quali benefici possono apportare all’organismo. Nel caso delle tisane antinfiammatorie, gran parte dell’azione è svolta dalle erbe che le compongono, come ad esempio l’ortica, la santoreggia, lo zenzero, l’angelica e l’echinacea.
