Well, the answer lies in the tea. You are hot, as you have been walking in the three digit heat of the Wadi Rum and you pass a tent. The Bedouins, who live there, quickly invite you for tea. You sip your tea and begin to feel cooler. Now you begin to wonder what is in the tea that can produce such coolness in the desert. Our Bedouin hosts begin by taking Maramia Sage, which is known to lower the body temperature, and add a small amount of Galangal root or leaves, which has a general healing effect on the body. Galangal is related to ginger and originally came from Laos. The aroma of the tea is a cross between Anise and Basil and has a slight mint taste. Many of the Bedouins use a few Libyan Black Tea Leaves just before serving. The tea is delicious and the aroma stays in the tent for quite some time. Best of all, you are cool and refreshed in the middle of one of the hottest deserts of the world. Mysterious Chinese Herbs Make Healing Teas For Many Ailments These many herbs are blended to provide aid for mild to severe illnesses in the body. Mint, for instance, can make a delicious tea which aids in digestion issues, helps conquer headaches, and many illnesses. All over the world herbs and tea leaves are used for many different things. Of course, remembering that we are not doctors, always consult with a doctor before using any of these herbal teas for medicine. These teas also make a delicious hot cup of tea in the day, but different herbs have different effects on different people. Some will cause blood pressure to rise and others maybe cause it to lower. So if you decide to use an herbal tea, always consult your doctor before embarking on a tea adventure.
