I love tea, and I'm sure you do as well and that's because, as many know, tea is amazing. It not only tastes great but it also has fabulous, healthy benefits. Though, not many people know of its benefits or the fact that it can actually help your body from within.Tea can be used when you're feeling stressed, bloated, or nauseous, when you have a slow metabolism, sleepless nights and even a common cold. Tea can even help you lose weight.

Once again, tea is amazing. What's not to love?

Here's a list of the benefits you might not be aware of from some of the teas you might drink.

1. Green Tea

This is one of my favorites and it does a lot of this! You can drink this tea if you want to lose weight. It helps by making your metabolism faster, which accelerates the breaking down of your food, thus allowing you to lose weight faster. Green tea helps you stay awake, so if you hate coffee but still drink it to stay awake, switch over to green tea. It helps with skincare, as well: reduces wrinkles and signs of aging. Also, this tea can lower the risk of breast, prostate and colorectal cancer.

2. Chamomile Tea

First and foremost, if you have trouble falling asleep, try drinking this tea before bedtime. Chamomile tea helps sleepless nights by relaxing you. Just like green tea, chamomile tea helps with skincare. It can help clear up acne, skin irritation and allergies and eczema. Have a stomach ache? Drink Chamomile. Feel a cold coming to ruin your life? Drink Chamomile. If you suffer from muscle spasms? Drink this tea.

3. Lemon Balm Tea

Now this is probably one of the most important teas for high school and college students. If you feel stress rising because you see that deadlines, finals and just about anything that causes stress is approaching, then this tea is the perfect for you. This tea helps relax your mind to the point where it makes you more alert and makes your mood better. You can also drink this tea if you're having trouble sleeping like with Chamomile. This help also helps your liver and it's a great antioxidant.

4. Elderflower Tea

Like Chamomile, this tea helps with common colds since it contains Vitamin C. This tea, since it contains a flavonoid called quercetin, also has contents of antioxidants, thus it helps fight any kind of flu you may have.

This tea is also known as a great detoxification aid. As a result, it helps your liver function better. Elderflower tea can also help allergies and even any asthma issues you may be experiencing.

5. Black Tea

Like Lemon Balm Tea, this tea helps reduce stress and it also helps reduce your blood pressure, high cholesterol and kidney stones. Since it has contents of an antioxidant called polyphenol, it helps freshens your breath by eliminating the bacteria that grows in your mouth. Black tea also helps prevent diabetes and ovarian cancer in women.

6. Ginger Tea

Have you ever been in a car, airplane, boat or train for so long that you end up feeling nauseous? Or you just feel nauseous for no reason? Yeah, well this tea helps with that. This is also a very well known anti-inflammatory tea. It can help relieve migraines and sore muscles due to its calming properties. Ginger tea can also help if you're suffering from menstrual cramps because it helps relax your muscles.

7. Peppermint Tea

Ever have those days when you eat a little to much and then feel bloated? Well, this tea helps with that. If you're also suffering from constipation, this is the tea to drink. This tea also aids in weight loss as it does help your digestion. You can also drink this tea if you're looking for a natural way to help reduce pain or if you need sinus relief. Since it contains menthol, it works as a natural decongestant. This tea is also great if you want to be able to concentrate more.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
