You might never know if you get all your health information from Western doctors, but herbs can have a huge positive impact on you in certain circumstances. They were the first prescriptions.
Ancient civilizations—in India, China, Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Central and South America—all used herbs to treat illness and help the healing process. Herbs can sooth, calm, and relax—or boost energy and promote regeneration. They can produce amazing results and shouldn’t be taken lightly. They can actually cause issues if overused or used for the wrong purpose.
I have put together a list of the best herbal teas for fitness that you can drink them before or after you do the fitness portion of the 21 Day Fix, PiYo, Body Beast or one of the P90X Workouts. You can drink them hot or iced. You might be surprised at how they help, despite being overall gentler and totally more natural than traditional medications.
