Herbal Teas - To Help Soothe Those Aches And Pains
By John Cranby
Herbal teas are good to help you relax and soothe any aches and
pains at the end of a long tiring day.
After my cup of herbal tea, I am able to face the rest of the
daily chores as required in family life. My favourite herbal tea
is camomile tea. It is decaffeinated and it is the best tasting
of all the herbal teas I have tried.
I have always liked herbal teas.
I think it is because they remind me of my grandmother. I remember
when I was a little kid and we went over to her house every weekend.
We would sit there and drink Herb tea for hours on end.
She loved herbal tea, and had every flavor you could imagine.
She had Jasmine, peppermint, rose hips, camomile – you name it
and she had.
She would even mix up her own herbal teas out of various herbal
extracts that she had. I can remember like it was yesterday, how
nice it was to sit there and just sip tea with her all afternoon
long.
When she passed away, I forgot about herbal tea for a while.
My family did not drink herbal teas on its own. We were quite
a coffee drinking family, you see.
Herbal tea to soothe the stomach pain
I wouldn’t have rediscovered the benefits of herbal tea if I
hadn’t had some serious stomach problems. I developed an ulcer,
you see, and for several weeks almost everything irritated my
stomach.
I started taking herbal teas because I knew that they could help
me out. Less people know about it nowadays, but both ginseng and
peppermint – common ingredients in herbal teas – are great for
the stomach and the digestive system as a whole.
They will soothe an upset stomach, make the pain go away, and
in general make you feel better. Herbal teas were very good to
me.
They were the whole reason I made it through that illness without
any really serious problems.
Caffeinated coffee gives me heartburn
Unfortunately, having the ulcer ruined my taste for coffee. You
see, the highly caffeinated drink would irritate my stomach like
nothing else.
Unlike the soothing herbal teas that I replaced it with, coffee
gave me heartburn.
When my stomach was better again, I still associated the coffee
with the feeling of heartburn, so I cannot drink it.
To me, however, it is not a loss. Since I switched to herbal
teas, I am much more relaxed than I used to be before I was a
tea drinker.
Camomile Tea
There was a time when I found it difficult to get to sleep and
I would drink camomile tea. This would make my body relax and
I would easily fall asleep and get a good nights sleep.
I did not need to go to the medical doctor to give me sleeping
tablets. Although I did get my doctor to check me out to make
sure there was nothing else wrong with me, apart from the sleeping
problems.
After a few medical tests confirmed I was fine, my doctor said
if the camomile tea makes you feel relaxed and allows you to sleep,
then you don’t need sleeping tablets.
So, my choice of herbal tea is camomile tea.
It says caffeine free on the label, and helps me relax to sleep.
