Healing Tea & Herbal Recipes
* Tea is a silent but powerful influence in all of our lives. However,
cultivation of health, using Tea is a central aspect of most Asian cultures.
Tea has become both a life style and a natural medicine. Traditionally,
people take time off for tea either to enjoy repose, or to chat with
friends. This is a wonderful opportunity to sit back to relax. The tension
of the day will slip away. Because tea is drank every day and the
prevailing expectation is to keep healthy, each family will treat minor
dips in health with household tea based cures. Following tea recipes is
seen as a mild treatment and not an instant cure for the ailment. Always
consult your doctor if you have a serious or enduring ailment. The
effects of taking tea are mild and cumulative You should take at least 2-3
cups of the  tea each day.
Remember, outside of water, Tea is the most
consumed beverage in the world.
