These means can be carried out according to a usual method for producing green tea or herbal tea. For example, drying is usually performed by dehydration drying using methods such as sun drying, hot air drying, and freeze drying. In addition, crushing and pulverization can be performed by hand fir treatment in addition to mechanical treatment. This camphor leaf may be used alone or in combination with other tea leaves.
Usually 10 to 100% by weight of the tea leaf component, preferably 50 to 100%
Used at 100% by weight.

[0006] Herbal tea comprising camphor leaves has the following characteristics. The scent of the leachate is a fresh green note.

This indicates the degree of synchronization between the magnetic field of the herbal tea material and the magnetic field of the living body. The natural wave coefficient value of the living body is 43 from a minimum of -21 to a maximum of +21.
It is at the stage, and +12 or more is regarded as a healthy wave. Substances to be given in order to activate living cells and functions and enhance natural healing power must have this value of +21 or more, and to improve or correct them, this value must be +30 or more.
