Herbal teas are actually mixtures of several ingredients, and are more accurately known as ‘tisanes.’ Tisanes are made from combinations of dried leaves, seeds, grasses, nuts, barks, fruits, flowers, or other botanical elements that give them their taste and provide the benefits of herbal teas. The herbal teas may consist of one main herbal ingredient or a blend of herbal ingredients, intended to bring about a specific purpose, such as relaxation, rejuvenation, relief from a specific condition, amongst other things. Unlike most other forms of tea, herbal teas do not contain caffeine, taste good and refreshing. Herbal Teas are commonly consumed for its therapeutic and energizing properties since it can help to induce relaxation. Being able to aid with stomach or digestive problems, herbal teas can help provide cleansing properties to the body thereby helps to strengthen the immune system.

This facilitates combination of anupana with other therapeutically active herbs to be developed as nutraceutical soups. The details will be presented.
