How to prepare this tea?
Few people know about it, but there is a form of tea preparation called a decoction. In this process, part of the plant is boiled, but the difference is that the main ingredient is ground beforehand. In this case, use a tablespoon of callia roots cut into small pieces and then bring to a boil with a cup of water.
Once ready, just strain and serve. You should drink up to two cups during the day and night, considering that the sweating effect can interfere in the morning. In addition to drinking tea, it can also be used externally, with baths, served to make poultices or even applied to the temples.
Contraindications and other recommendations
Even though it is a natural remedy, it is not indicated in some situations, such as in the case of pregnant and lactating women. This is because the plant can interfere with the development of the fetus and harm both the flavor and the nutrients in breast milk. Therefore, it is good to avoid using herb tea during these two periods. Also, children under 12 should also not make use of this home remedy.
In other cases, the use of shading is indicated, but it is always important to consult a doctor beforehand. Thus, the patient can have a better result in the treatment and does not put his health at risk. It is also worth remembering that excess consumption of this plant’s tea can be toxic to the body, causing severe pain in the belly and vomiting.
