langua vert: time for a tea break

time for a tea break

when it all gets to much... the nicest thing i do for myself is take a break and make a cup of tea. yesterday i harvested some lemon verbena (Aloysia triphylla) so today i can have some tea. i only picked a few of the stems off the plant - just enough for a few cups of tea... that gives the plant a chance to keep growing. i let it sit for at least an hour before sipping...

lemon verbena is calming and sedating and has a positive effect on nervous digestive disorders.

the fda has many biases in determining the effectiveness of herbs. although the fda fails to reach opinions on the safety of many herbs based on what they consider to be a lack of verifiable scientific studies, the truth is that many accredited studies on herbs do exist. check with an herbalist - think about what you put in your body and any potential interactions and side affects. do the research before making decisions which affect your health and well being. you are the most important part of insuring your health.
