Have you walked into your local health food store lately and noticed how large the assortment of teas has become? It seems that our nation of coffee drinkers may be changing into one of hot tea drinkers! There are black, green and white teas from China and Japan; chai teas from India; rooibus tea from Africa; fruit teas, flower teas, herbal teas, twig and bark teas; chocolate and nut teas……….Are we finally realizing that tea has more to offer than just a refreshing drink on hot summer days? There are teas for digestion, weight loss, cleansing, fasting, the immune system, depression, anxiety and stress, headaches, coughs, colds and flu, energy, relaxation, sleep………..the list seems endless. But so it should be, as in Oriental medicine every ailment has a cure in a teacup. So take a break, and pour yourself a nice cup of hot healing tea!
