I Started Drinking Guava Leaf Tea Daily—Here’s What Happened

Incorporating guava leaf tea into my daily routine has led to several noticeable health improvements. Here’s how I prepared the tea and the benefits I experienced:​

How I Made Guava Leaf Tea

Ingredients:

  • Fresh or dried guava leaves

  • 4 cups of water

  • Optional: honey or lemon for flavor

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Leaves: I used a handful of fresh guava leaves (about 10-12) or a tablespoon of dried leaves.

  2. Boil the Water: I brought 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.

  3. Add the Leaves: Once the water was boiling, I added the guava leaves and reduced the heat to let it simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. Strain and Serve: After simmering, I strained the tea into a cup and added honey or lemon to taste.

Benefits I Noticed

  1. Improved Digestion: Drinking guava leaf tea after meals helped alleviate bloating and promoted regular bowel movements.

  2. Better Blood Sugar Control: As someone monitoring blood sugar levels, I observed more stable readings after incorporating this tea into my diet.

  3. Enhanced Immunity: I experienced fewer colds and felt more resilient overall.

  4. Healthier Skin: My skin appeared clearer and more radiant, which I attribute to the antioxidants in the tea.
