Notes
What is Rasa Tea?
The tissue, rasa, relates to the watery tissues of the body: mucous, saliva, lymph, plasma, cerebro-spinal fluid, etc. Our bodies are comprised of 70% water. The ingredients in Rasa Tea are demulcents, so drinking this beverage promotes the watery tissues of the body. You can modify this recipe; it’s very adaptable.
