Root, bark, fruit marshmallow root, elecampane, oak bark, rosehip, juniper Decoction: simmer for 5–10 minutes; marshmallow root is soaked in cold water for a few hours

Loose tea is usually more economical and easier to dose, while tea bags are handier at work and when travelling. One cup usually takes one teaspoon of herb per 200–250 ml of water, unless the pack says otherwise.

What to watch out for

  • St John's wort may affect how contraceptive pills, antidepressants and anticoagulants work
  • Senna is for short-term use in constipation – do not use for more than 1–2 weeks without medical advice
  • Comfrey root is intended for external use (compresses), not for drinking
  • Do not use sage, St John's wort or senna during pregnancy without consulting your doctor

Pharmacist's advice

Store herbs in a tightly closed pack in a dry, dark place and use them before the expiry date. If you drink herbal tea every day for several weeks, take breaks and alternate herbs.

If you take medicines for a chronic condition, ask a pharmacist before regularly drinking St John's wort, mistletoe or hawthorn tea.

Frequently asked questions

For most mild teas (chamomile, mint, linden) 2–3 cups a day are usual. For longer use, take a break after 3–4 weeks or alternate herbs.

What is Rtanj tea?
Rtanj tea is the folk name for winter savory (Satureja montana), an aromatic plant from Mount Rtanj in Serbia. It is prepared as an infusion.

Is loose tea better than tea bags?
Loose tea contains larger plant parts and its strength is easier to adjust, while tea bags are more practical. Quality depends on the producer and shelf life.
