<\/a><\/p>\nLicorice root<\/strong> contains glycyrrhizin, which gives it its characteristic sweet taste. You’ll not need, therefore, to sweeten the tea. Licorice has anti-inflammatory effects and is one of the cornerstones of Chinese medicine. We must not, however, abuse it because it can cause high blood pressure, fluid retention and constant fatigue.<\/p>\n Juniper berries<\/strong> facilitate digestion, are antiseptic and help against cough. The oil extracted from the berries used in massage prevents cramps and relaxes muscle tense.<\/p>\n Fennel<\/strong> contains many nutrients and vitamins, improves digestion and helps against intestinal pain. In the East it is consumed to improve eyesight. Its properties were already known to the ancient Greeks and we find it\u00a0even in mythology. Prometheus, in fact, uses\u00a0a sprig of fennel to steal fire from the Gods.<\/p>\n Anise<\/strong> is also a valuable aid to digestion. Used by the ancient Romans, it was one of the main ingredients of mustaceoe<\/em>, sweets served at the end of abundant food to avoid indigestion. These cakes were also served at the end of the wedding parties and it seems to be the origin of today’s wedding cakes.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t
