What is TISANE?
Tisane is the French term for aromatic or herb-flavored tea. An herb is a flowering plant whose stem above ground does not become woody; such a plant when valued for its medicinal properties, flavor, scent, or the like. (Tisanes are generally caffeine-free.)
Rich in nutrients, including antixodiants (fight off free radicals), calcium, chlorophyll, iron, selenium (good for skin). Abundant in vitamins A, B1, B2, and C. High in fiber (soluble and insoluble), which promotes feeling of fullness and improves digestion, which may lead to weight loss over time.

Shown to be effective for stopping coughs and alleviation of fever, it is also used as a natural sweetening agent (an alternative for sugar - safe for diabetics), hydrangea will purify and refresh the head and throat.
