Herbal Tea Preparation: Prepare a herbal tea for digestion or stress/anxiety. Documenting the steps, proportions, and effects felt after drinking them.

Herbal teas are very important for digestion and reducing stress/anxiety. Herbal teas such as basil tea, peppermint or ginger tea are helpful in improving digestion and relieving stomach discomfort. They are rich in natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that reduce stomach problems like bloating or gas.

I have prepared an herbal tea with the following ingredients for digestion or stress/anxiety relief. This tea gives a healthy and relaxing feeling. Following are its ingredients, preparation method and benefits.

Ingredients :-

• Basil Leaves
• Ginger
• cinnamon, cloves

• Lemon Juice
• Black cumin
• 1 mug of water

Preparation Method

• Heat a mug of water in a pot.

• I added tulsi or Basil leaves, ginger and cinnamon, cloves and black cumin to the boiling water.

• Allow to boil on low heat for 5-7 minutes.

• Strain the tea and pour it into a glass.

• Drink it with lemon juice.

Effects and Feelings :-

Improves digestion	Tulsi leaves and ginger help digestion and reduce stomach gas.
Reduce stress and anxiety	Basil and mint help calm the nervous system.
Relaxing and invigorating feeling	Lemon, cinnamon, ginger and black cumin enhance the taste of the tea and refresh the body.

Tulsi leaves boost immunity. Reduces stress and calms the nerves. Ginger aids in digestion and removes stomach gas. Reduces inflammation and is useful in cold-cough. Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, which boosts immunity. Improves the digestive process. Cinnamon regulates blood sugar levels. Cloves keep teeth and mouth healthy. Aids in digestion and relieves respiratory problems. Black cumin boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation. Therefore, the benefits of tea with a mixture of these are many.

Herbal Storage: Research the best ways to store herbs at home; take pictures of your storage method and explain why it works.

It is important to follow proper procedures for storing herbal plants and herbal ingredients at home so that they remain effective for a long time. It is very important to store herbs in our home. So with home remedies we can solve cold, common fever, constipation, cold, allergy, indigestion, cough. Now as a storage method dry herbs should be stored in airtight glass or ceramic jars. It is best not to store in plastic containers as plastic can alter the properties of the herb in the long run.

The dried herb can then be stored in powder form. Fresh herbs are most effective when powdered before use. Herb powders lose potency quickly when exposed to air, so should be stored in airtight glass jars. Chosen as a people to preserve all our herbs. We take medicine advice from him if we need it. He has preserved everything properly. Below is a picture of their storage system.

Why it works :- Dried herbs contain less moisture, which prevents infection by bacteria, fungi or other harmful organisms. It keeps the herbs active for a long time and the taste and smell remain intact. So these preservation methods are suitable to maintain the potency of the herb and to use it for a long period of time. Following the right method preserves the flavor, aroma, and nutritional value of the herbs, which are especially beneficial for our health.

Home Remedy Creation: Create your own herbal remedy for a common cold documenting the ingredients, preparation steps, and your experience.

Make an herbal remedy for common cold with ginger and lemon juice and drink this herbal drink 2-3 times a day to relieve common cold and sore throat. This is what I drink today and feel somewhat healthy.

Process :-

• Take a pot of water and heat it.
• Take boiling water and ginger in a glass.
• Then I grated a piece of lemon.
• Then drink it slowly while hot.

Advantages :-

• Ginger helps reduce respiratory infections and inflammation.

• Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which boosts immunity.

Herbal Infusion Experiment: Infuse two different herbs (one for digestion and one for stress/anxiety) in water. Document the process, duration, and your thoughts on the end result.

• Basil Leaves for stress

First I opted for basil leaves for stress and betel nut for digestion. Basil is an ancient Ayurvedic herb with adaptogenic properties to reduce stress. It helps reduce stress and anxiety.

Process :- At first I took a glass of water. After that I plucked some tulsi leaves from the tulsi tree and collected them. Then they can be washed clean and soaked in glass water and eaten.

Basil Leaves		for stress

Duration	The effectiveness of tulsi leaves depends on the body condition of the person. Generally, a significant reduction in stress and anxiety is seen within 2 to 6 weeks of regular use.
End result	Using tulsi leaves improves mental health, reduces anxiety, improves sleep and overall mental calmness.

• Psyllium Husk for digestion

In terms of digestion, Psyllium husk of this plant is a natural fiber that increases the absorption of water in the intestine and softens and shapes the stool. It helps to relieve constipation and ease digestion.

Process :- To start with, take a glass of water. Then I sprinkled a teaspoon of Isabgul husk on the water. Then stir well with a spoon and after some time they will swell and be eaten.

Duration	Its effectiveness is usually seen within 12 to 24 hours after consuming the husk. For some it may be effective quickly especially if drinking plenty of water.
End result	Regular use relieves constipation, improves digestion and improves gut health.
