Properties of Canela de Velho Herbal Tea

The consumption of Canela de Velho Herbal Tea (Miconia Albicans) is applied to treat inflammatory diseases due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential. Its possible contribution to the relief of pain and inflammation promotes a regenerating effect on the cartilage of the affected bones.

However, this medicinal tea will not have the power to reverse the bones to their previous healthy state. The benefits of Canela de Velho are poorly addressed and tend towards the miraculous side to treat many diseases. The fact is that Canela de Velho Herbal Tea can help to combat the worsening of symptoms and not, in the total regeneration of the inflamed area, cure it. Once you have an inflamed area, you are more likely to develop it again. Therefore, this type of tea will help you to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. 

Canela de Velho Herbal Tea is practised as an auxiliary method in the treatment of osteoarthritis. This disease is known for its influence on premature wear of cartilage that affects joints and bones. This attack causes pain and swelling in many parts of the body, favouring general discomfort and, consequently, the person's difficult and painful mobility. It is also used for stiff necks, tendinitis, bursitis, and herniated discs.

Osteoarthritis

Due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, Canela de Velho Herbal Tea is used by intensive sports players. This natural formula may help to relieve muscle tension and symptoms of overexertion. It contributes to combating the aggravation of muscle and joint injuries. This function may favour the treatment of fibromyalgia, a disease defined by frequent pain in muscle tissues in different body regions.

Canela de Velho Herbal Tea can be used as a protective tonic for the stomach and liver due to its nutritive composition. This contribution to digestive, hepatic and intestinal well-being may promote the treatment of diarrhoea, gastritis, heartburn, and reflux. This action may be favoured, at the same time, by the elimination of fats in the liver. In addition, Canela de Velho Herbal Tea can be used to relieve symptoms caused by the imbalance of the nervous system that causes gastric discomfort.

This tea is known for its contribution to body nutrition, detoxification of the body, reinforcement of defences and stimulation of sexual desire through purifying action on the blood. Canela de Velho Herbal Tea can help control diabetes and weight loss.
