I love drinking herbal tea in the mourning, i know some drink coffee but im more of a tea person. Before I cast spells or preform rituals I always meditate or drink a warm tea to help cleanses and replenish my body. I grow my own herbs and pretty much have a plentiful supply for me and my family. Sometimes I use my herbs to help me in my sword play sessions, I have mixture that makes my vision blurry to help enhance my hearing although one would think blind folding would be easier but but I like to simulate if i were to be blinded in any way it helps me with my hearing so thatI can fight ifI had to even when my vision is clouded I will still have a chance to overcome my foes. Sorry if this is off my topic but thats what i use my herbs for besides my potions and teas. Out of curiosity what besides teas or potions do you use herbs for?

The witch has a variety of ways that she incorporates the use of herbs in her practice, depending on her intentions and the plants used.

There are many uses of herbs in different ways, for example- h erbs are added to mojo bags or tied up in small cloth bundles for numerous intentions and carried in a purse, stuffed in a pocket, tucked beneath a pillow, hidden in the attic, laid upon your altar, or kept in a special place connected to your intentions.

Herbs are ground and blended in numerous combinations to create an aromatic incense for rituals, specific intentions, or pure enjoyment as well.
Herbs are used in bathes and washes as well. Herbs are dropped into bath water in tea bags (as you mentioned), bundles, or sprinkled liberally directly in your water for healing, cleansings, and numerous other intentions.

Shamans and spiritualists have smoked herbs for millennia for the purpose of vision questing, altering the sub-conscious mind, and opening oneself up to enlightenment.

I have never drank herbal tea, but i heart that is really good for your health, but i am not so sure if i would be a fan of herbal tea. If i was to first try out herbal tea what would you recommend me trying. Because i don't want to try something i may not like. But it seems a lot of people like it.
One of my personal favs are basil tea it tastes bitter but its good for you. Boil water with some basil this is optional but i somtimes add a bay leaf to it. I also add bay leaf or two and some basil when i have soup.
I agree. I have drinking different caffeine & non caffeine fruit herbal teas for years.I think that herbal teas are very healthy to drink and would advise everyone to drink some kind herbal tea as long as it doesn't hurt them. I keep several kinds all of time
I love herbal teas. My favorite is chamomile with mint. It tastes delightful, and helps calm me. Eucalyptus I use for aroma therapy, for the sinuses, and for pain relief when the oil is mixed with carrier oil (I use olive oil) and applied to joints and muscles. There's a lot more, but those I use often. Also rosemary and peppermint oils mixed is a good wake up oil. Yes, I love herbs!
