Inflammation is at the root of so many health conditions: from minor skin rashes to terminal brain diseases. The scary reality is that most people are struggling from this chronic inflammation, already. However, by incorporating healing spices and herbs into your daily lifestyle and exercising daily, you can protect your body and mind against it. Here's one recipe you need in the mix if you want to heal your body naturally!

The Benefits of The Ingredients

This recipe is jam-packed with inflammation-fighting herbs and botanicals that help support your overall health by reducing the damage caused by inflammation. If we went over all the benefits of each ingredient found in all the teas, this article would be obnoxiously long! So instead, here are just four of the incredible botanicals you're getting when you drink this iced tea recipe:

• Rosemary, found in An Elephant Never Forgets, is a powerful antioxidant rich in anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory compounds.
• Rooibos, found in I Heart Pomegranates, is powerfully anti-inflammatory and packed with antioxidants, reducing your risk of many diseases.
• Berries like blueberries, pomegranates, and cranberries are all rich in bioflavonoids, giving these fruits their dark color. These beautiful, rich, dark pigments also mean that they are anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant-rich. Eating more dark berries can support your memory, concentration, and overall brain function by preventing inflammation in the brain.
• Lemons are a great source of vitamin c, so along with other vitamin c rich foods, they help to reduce free radical damage in the body and mind.

 Let's make it!

What You Need For This Iced Tea

• 1 teaspoon I Heart Pomegranates*
