Health Benefits of Guava Herbal Tea

Due to its anti-inflammatory action, Guava Herbal Tea is recommended for treating diarrhoea, lowering blood pressure and balancing cholesterol. By improving intestinal well-being, it can be an excellent ally for treating dysentery, a type of gastroenteritis defined by diarrhoea with traces of blood that causes intense pain and trips to the bathroom. Part of the potential of Guava Herbal Tea is due to its influence on the proper functioning of the digestive process by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes. This prevents the appearance of inflammation in the stomach and intestines.

Guava Herbal Tea is also indicated for relieving cough. In Japan, this natural drink has been approved for the prevention and treatment of diabetes because it has components that inhibit the absorption of two types of sugar, maltose, and sucrose. Some studies indicate that guava tea may play an important role in the treatment of dengue fever.

Other indications: bronchitis, prostate problems, weight loss, toothache, hair loss, menstrual cramps, anxiety, depression, acne, and skin sores.
