Tea Tips: Calling All Tea Lovers And Tea Haters

Looking for a way to get rid of cramps, bloating, fatigue, gas, or a more effective way to exfoliate? Consider using herbal teas leaves. For centuries, herbs have been used in my family for everything. We rely heavily on natural herbs such as dandelion and chamomile to promote healthy digestion. These help with cramping and bloating. Back in Haiti, nearly everyone who owned a house grew herbal gardens. My mother and I plant them ourselves right in our own backyard.

Peppermint teas are one of my favorite teas. They help with migraines, bloating, and fatigue. Peppermint tea can also be used for weight loss. In fact, if you mix the peppermint tea with green tea, it helps increase your metabolism.

Herbal leaves can help treat many symptoms that we suffer from. If experiencing some form of anxiety, it may be advised to use old fashioned mint tea, chamomile tea, and lavender. The lavender helps relief anger and uplifts your mood. It also reduces muscle tension by relaxing the muscles and soothes the pain. The mint tea helps to relieve stress while the chamomile may help to prevent panic attacks.

If you are experiencing headaches, using peppermint and passionflower herbal teas tend to help relieve the pain. This is because passionflower is a calming herb; if you take it before bed it helps you sleep. Passionflower is found to lower anxiety as well. Taking peppermint tea helps relief headaches but is not recommended taking it before bed if you are prone to heartburn or stomach pains.

Herbs can be grown indoors or outdoors. Many kitchen gardeners relish the convenience of fresh herbs such as lemon balms, mint, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.

Herbs are also available in most stores and may come in many different forms such as instant tea bags, syrups, oils, liquid extracts and dry extracts. If debating on whether using herbal tea is worth it, consider this: herbs are cheaper than any pain relievers and they can be added to food for flavor.

Need to treat allergies, asthma, eczema, or an arthritis pain? Natural herbal teas can help with these common afflictions. In fact, it has been proven that by using herbal tea as a natural remedy, most people experience fewer side effects than those who do not use herbal teas.

Need to exfoliate your skin? Using black tea leaves can help smooth out the skin. By simply adding black tea leaves to the exfoliating process while washing the face and gently scrubbing the surface of the skin, the leaves help to clear out any dead cells.

Understand the history of herbs and be cautious of any irregular signs or discomfort that may arise from within the body. For those who are interested in beginning a journey using natural herbs in replacement of conventional medicine, it is always advised to consult with a trusted physician beforehand.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
