“While there is tea, there is hope.”
This British saying rings true to many tea lovers. Beloved for thousands of years for its capacity to comfort, a cup of tea is an enduring tradition shared by many cultures around the world. In recent years, scientists have also begun touting the many health benefits of regular tea consumption. Shown to help with sleep, aid in digestion, promote rest and relaxation and even boost immunity, it seems there are few things a small but mighty cup of tea can’t cure.
Join us as we explore herbal teas and how they can be a vital part of our everyday health and wellbeing routines. Under the careful guidance of gardener Melissa Goltermann of Momma G Farms, you will sample several herbal teas and learn the different ways to prepare them.
This program is presented by Melissa Goltermann and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
About the Presenter:
Melissa Goltermann started her healing journey after 10 years of being on pain management due to a serious car accident. She found the medication was only masking her symptoms and she searched for ways to heal her body. Coming off the medication was not easy, and her body is still healing.
