Herb teas have already been widely consumed in Europe
for many years. The main reason that Europeans drunk herb
teas was to help to alleviate or cure some minor health
related syndromes. In Germany, chamomile and anise are
the two most common herb teas that almost every family
has at home. Chamomile acts as a sedative and is soothing
for indigestion, asthma, headache and more; anise helps
to induce sleep and bring on menstruation. Most of the
pharmacies provide varieties of herb teas for people to
purchase. In 1960, the “herb tea bag” was
invented by a German pharmacist who infused different
herbal teas with different aromatherapies into small bag,
making them easy to transport. Nowadays, people drink
herb teas not only for the aromatherapies but also for
their refreshing, calming and exotic qualities.
