HealTea is a reference guide to teas and herbal infusions. It catalogues 109 plants, each with its scientific name, description, brewing method, traditional uses and — something most guides leave out — the known cautions and contraindications. Entries are referenced to public sources, including Wikipedia. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse 109 plants with photo, common name and scientific name • Start from how you are feeling and see which infusions are traditionally associated • Read the brewing method: ratio, water temperature and steeping time • Check the cautions before you brew • Time the steep so you never overshoot it • Save favourites and build your own collections • Keep a diary of what you drank and how you felt • Set reminders so you do not forget • Filter and search by name, plant or property WORKS OFFLINE The whole catalogue ships inside the app. No internet, no sign-up, no account: open it and use it. IN THREE LANGUAGES English, Portuguese and Spanish, plant names included. IMPORTANT HealTea is for information and education. It collects traditional uses of plants; it does not give medical advice, diagnose, treat, or replace guidance from a healthcare professional. Plants have real effects and can interact with medication. Talk to your doctor before using any infusion for a health purpose, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on continuous medication, or managing a health condition.
