Licorice root is also known as sweet root and is used as a sweetener in candies and beverages. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Early Egyptians used it in tea as a cure-all concoction. It was imported to China where it was also used for its health benefits. Licorice root contains glycyrrhizic acid, which is thought to offer anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. It is used to soothe the stomach and restore balance.

Similar to licorice root, peppermint is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, and has been used to help with indigestion and heartburn. Peppermint originated in Europe, but today, it is cultivated around the world. Peppermint leaves are used in tea to help calm the muscles in the body and reduce inflammation. It is also thought to be able to calm the stomach muscles to improve the flow of bile. Peppermint might also be able to ease tension with headache pain and menstrual cramps. A non-medicinal use of peppermint is freshening your breath with its natural, clean aroma.

To complement the licorice root and peppermint in Aveda Comforting Tea is sweet fennel. Sweet fennel tastes similar to licorice, but adds a slightly bitter, yet relaxing, aftertaste. Sweet fennel is a tall herb with hollow stems and yellow flowers. Originally used in the Mediterranean region for medicinal purposes, sweet fennel is now grown and used around the world. It is thought to offer antimicrobial and antiviral properties that boost the immune system. Ancient remedies for insomnia called for fennel to relax the muscles to prepare for sleep.

Basil, which many people think of as just a seasoning for pasta, is thought to feature health benefits of its own, which enhances the blend of Aveda Comforting Tea. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend using basil leaves in tea to reduce stress and anxiety. It is thought to be able to counteract the effects of stress on the stomach by decreasing stomach acid and increasing mucus production.

Aveda Comforting Tea blends natural ingredients that not only taste great, but help to calm the mind and body.
