Lately, I’ve been trying to drink more tea than coffee. I found a chamomile tea at the dollar store that I like. It helps me to unwind in the evening. I bought a Celestial Seasonings (I think that is the brand) blueberry tea. I’m not sure how i like it yet. It is a different taste. What kind of tea do you like? Is all tea basically the same, or are more expensive brands better tasting and better ingredients? I like herbal tea versus the black tea.

My son is 19 months. He has a real bad viral infection and has been coughing, sneezing, etc. I made a little peppermint herbal/caffeine free tea and he was sipping on it. I thought it may help soothe. Just didn’t know if there’s some crazy thing in herbal tea that isn’t good for babies?

Would this make a good herbal tea?

I’m starting to try my hand at making my own herbal tea and here is the recipe I’ve just made:

2 grams Damiana

2 grams Passion Flower

1/2 gram Peppermint

1/2 gram Mullein

So basically 5 grams to make a single cup of tea.

Now I’ve heard the Damiana and Passion Flower react good together, the peppermint is mostly for flavor and soothing effect, and the Mullein is for it’s cough relaxing, antioxidant, and minor narcotic properties.

I’m basically trying to make a healthy, relaxing, and hopefully mildly euphoric tea. Would this work good? If not, what would be your suggestion on dosage or recipe? I also have about an ounce of Kava Kava, but heard that when heated, the active ingredient is lost. Thanks for the help!

hello, i suffer from an anxiety disorder and usually take meds but my doctor took me off them once we found out i was pregnant. i get quite anxious at night and start having bad heart palpitations and numbness etc. i found a herbal tea called sleepy tea, it has passionflower and chamomile with lemon in it. can i drink this one glass before bed to help calm me? im almost 10 weeks buy the way. thanks. oh and i know the pack says its not recommended during pregnancy but that’s only because of they fact they haven’t done studys on it not because they have found anything wrong before. some pregnancy sites ive looked at say its fine tho, what do you think?
and yes ive tryed having a bath and reading etc to help me but it just doesnt seem to work so thus trying the tea
