Herbal tea was first introduced from Europe. Generally, what we call herbal tea refers to those vanilla drinks that do not contain tea, so herbal tea actually does not contain "tea". Accurately speaking, herbal tea refers to a herbal beverage with aromatic taste, which is made from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, branches, fruits, seeds or skins of plants by boiling or brewing. Herbs are completely or partially dried for fragrance, stimulation or other benefits. Their growth period is shorter than that of woody plants, and they are convenient to take. Their uses can be said to be ever-changing, mostly used in beauty and skin care, body slimming, health care and other functions.
