On hot days, it is important to hydrate and pay attention to maintaining the correct salt and water balance in the body, especially for those who do a lot of physical activity or generally sweat a lot. There are a number of specially formulated drinks rich in minerals, but if you prefer to avoid products containing colouring agents and preservatives, cold remineralising herbal teas could be for you. Let's take a look at the most suitable medicinal herbs and herbal blends.

Which herbal teas have the highest mineral salt content?

We start our list of available options with a tea that is highly prized for its qualities, rooibos, the African red tea, which is suitable for adults, children and can also be used during pregnancy (unless otherwise advised by a doctor). Besides being known for its antioxidant content, rooibos has a fair amount of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.

Another infusion that might suit you is nettle, which is rich in sodium and potassium.

You should also try an infusion made from celery seed, which stands out for its content of essential minerals and vitamin C.

Also excellent when in need of replenishment are infusions based on red fruits, rose hip, couch grass, hibiscus flowers, yarrow, verbena, hyssop and solidago, horsetail and mint.

You can prepare your remineralising herbal teas a few hours beforehand, leave them to cool down and take them with you during the day using a thermos flask or water bottle.
