Whitebrush

In the world of herbal teas, many of us are familiar with staples like chamomile, mint, and lavender. However, there’s one lesser-known gem that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine: Aloysia gratissima, commonly known as Whitebrush or Bee-brush. This fragrant, white-flowered shrub, native to the Americas, offers a fascinating blend of history, aroma, and a range of potential health benefits that are just starting to capture the attention of researchers and tea enthusiasts alike. I had the opportunity to explore this unique plant firsthand and brew my own cup of Whitebrush tea from NeuroLeaf. The experience was both calming and helped me wind down after a long day of work.
