Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dear Marci, You can afford to take a break from Cathartics and Echinacea, but most other herbs you can take till the cows come home. ;-) Check out the Liver Tea Formula in the Files. This is one of my favorite all around drinks any time of the day. My all time top favorite though is the Cal-Calm Tea Formula / also in the Files. In Health and Love, Doc Doc Shillington727-447-5282Doc - Marci herbal remedies Tuesday, December 06, 2005 8:58 PM Herbal Remedies - Herbal Tea I am finished with my herbal cleanse until next time. I read somewhere that whenever you do an herbal cleanse type thing you should take a break when you are finished from the herbs used because you shouldn't use any particular herb for a long time straight. But--I really miss my nightly tea. Can anyone recommend a good herbal tea that is good for you but doesn't hurt to drink every day? Or even a couple different ones so that I can switch? I am surprised because I have always disliked tea my whole life but just love this herbal stuff!Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the Sleepy-time formula contains the Herbs knwon to help " relax " .) Tips on Preparing Herbal from Loose-Tea: Prepare the Herbal-Tea by using a Tea-Seive or a Tea-teaspoon or even a " mini-straw-basket " ; put the dry-Tea in proper Utensils. Always Boil the Water to a rolling- Boil. Turn off heat. Pour the hot-water over the Herbs or the Herb- Utensil. If making Tea loose in Pot; steep then strain. The longer the Tea steeps; the better. Most Herbal-Teas take 5-10 minutes of steeping. Some Medicinal-Teas are steeped for 15-20 minutes. Hint: always cover Herbal-Teas while steeping. Herbal-Tea Bags made in Mug are good and the Tea can be re-heated if necessary. Add milk or honey. Note: Be careful when handling hot-water; esp. when " pouring on herbs.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 herbal tea Herbal Teas for Coughs Thyme, Hyssop and Sage 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried hyssop 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves 1 cup water, barely boiled Place the herbs in a teapot. Pour the boiling water over them, cover and steep 10 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey. Cool a bit and sip slowly in 1-ounce doses as needed (up to 2 cups a day for no more than a few successive days). Do not use excessively. The tea can be gargled an ounce at a time for topical relief of a scratchy throat. For sipping, combine with plenty of honey for its throat-coating action. Linden and Licorice 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 teaspoon chopped dried licorice root 2 teaspoons dried linden flowers Bring water to a boil in a glass or stainless steel pan. Add licorice root, reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the linden flowers in a teapot. Pour the unstrained licorice decoction over the linden, cover and steep 10 minutes. Sweeten with honey, if desired. Take in 1/2 cup doses, as needed. This tea is also good lung medicine. It can be drunk as often as desired during the course of a respiratory illness. NOTE: Licorice tea is not recommended for people prone to high blood pressure, pregnant women, or women with fibroids.
