Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi Moonfirelady (love the name !!) I am very new to this group and am still learning a lot! I think, though, that Gingko Biloba as well as Gurana are energy boosters. Gingko is a root that tastes like dirt. Gurana is a seed that grows in the Amazon. The shell is discarded and they use the very centre of the seed. Gingko helps with your circulatory system and Gurana helps with your nervous system. My partner has them in coffee though, but you could have them in tea. He says to put milk with them to disguise the taste because they taste very " earthy " HTH Justine Does anyone know of herbs that give you energy? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Guarana is a source of caffiene. Why are you short of energy? Can you get to the root of the problem?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Moonfirelady, The energy tea I drink is a blend of cooked Rehmannia rt, ginkgo leaf, oatstraw, carob pods, siberian ginseng, Dang shen, nettle leaf, hawthorn leaf and flower and roasted dandelion root. I've also tinctured it for the times when I am out and about and can't drink a tea.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 > Gingko is a root that > tastes like dirt. Any ginkgo I have seen is from the leaves, not the root. Ginkgo biloba is a tree, and harvesting the roots from a tree would be difficult at best. Where are you getting your ginkgo from? I would be interested in what the medicinal properties of the root vs. the leaves would be. As for energy, I make a tea blend for mornings that uses burdock, eleuthro ginseng, schizandra berries, licorice and chickory root. These herbs (with the exception of chickory, that's just there to create a flavor reminiscent of coffe) all have action on the adrenal glands, working as a tonic (nourishing the glands so they work better, rather than caffeine, which simply kicks them into overdrive and depletes them). Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dear Rebecca, Over here we can get gingko Drinks that have a chunk of root in them. They come in a clear bottle and you can see the root.. it is a very earthy looking drink. We have bought them from the chinatown section of our city, but it is definitely a gingko root/drink. The root is usually the part of the plant that has strongest properties, so is much more effective for energy than just the leaves. This is the reason why gingko tastes like dirt for us LOL If there are any more questions, I will go and buy a bottle. It has asian writing on it,but perhaps I can figure it out on the offchance there is some english on the bottle. Justine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi Moonfirelady! Personally, I like to use a very simple blend for energy. 1-3 herbs depending on the task at hand so to speak. All of the advice/tips have been great here. It is hard to really determine what you need without knowing more about what your exact need is. Can you tell us more?? ____________________ Blessings!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 <Over here we can get gingko Drinks that have a chunk of root in them. > Are you mixing up Gingko and ginger? Gingko uses leaves, ginger roots. Ah well. Both great herbs. Our Earth Mother has supplied so many wonderful substances for our health, it really takes some doing to get sick, as long as we don't live too far from Her. Ien, having a smarmy moment. I can get choked up about the power of plants, and other natural healing ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: Looking for Herbs to put in teas to give you energy The BEST and quickest way to increase your energy is thru BREATHING!! No DRUGS, no teas, no lotions, no potions... at all... Find out how good is your breathing and learn some of the factors that cause poor breathing here: www.breathing.com/tests.htm Results will be emailed to you immediately after completing your 5 minute or 15 minute test. I suggest taking the 15 minute test to give you the BEST overall assessment of YOUR breathing! I HIGHLY recommend getting the 176 DVD/CD combination for $49.95. It SHOWS you HOW to do that, along with several " tools " that will greatly aid your progress!
