The use of medicinal plants has been on the rise due to the lack of side effects associated with chemical drugs, with about one-third of medications having a plant origin. One of the best methods for utilizing medicinal plants is by producing herbal teas from them. Pollen, rich in flavonoids, has a suppressive effect against all pathogenic agents. In this study, green tea and aromatic, flavorful herbal teas were used based on consumer responses as a supplement to enhance the desirability of pollen herbal tea. To prepare two herbal tea blends with pollen; 'green tea, orange blossom, and pollen' and 'green tea, lemon balm, and pollen', weigh them in the following ratios: 2, 1, and 7 grams respectively. For preparing two herbal infusions with pollen; 'mint, ginger, and pollen' and 'lavender, dried lime, and pollen', weigh them in the following ratios: 1, 1, and 8 grams respectively, brew, and consume. Pollen herbal teas have a suppressive effect against most pathogenic agents and possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, calming, anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-ulcer, liver-protective, digestive and cardiovascular system-regulating, and immune-boosting properties. Generally, the consumption of pollen is safe for up to 30 days, but if any allergic symptoms or reactions are observed, it is necessary to stop using the pollen and seek immediate medical assistance. |
