Peppermint Tea

[Ladywear]

Hello Shelley

I hope you are well. I just wanted to say that I have been following the supplement plan you recommended for my gallbladder problems and it has worked! I am free of that awful pain! Many thanks Shelley.

I just have one question if I may. I have been drinking lots of the peppermint tea you suggested (very soothing) - anyhow it makes my stools go very dark - and erm..well..not particularly nice smelling either (sorry). Why does the peppermint tea have this effect and is it a positive sign ?

Thanks for any info. Shelley

Love and Best Wishes

I'm so glad I was able to help! yipeee!

Peppermint tea does lots of amazing things, including aiding the liver to produce more bile if you are also ttaking in good oils. IF the liver is full of stuff it has filtered out of the bloodstream but has been unable to release, such as dead red blood cells, the tea will help it get rid of it. That will turn your stools darker and yep, smellier. It's a very gentle, painless cleasne, so keep it up and hopefully those stools will get a mite lighter as the liver is cleaned out.

Will it also be helping clear dead yeast cells Shelley?

Also just as a matter of interest - what is the Grasshopper under my name - its it my new nik-name - ha ha!!!

Many Thanks Shelley

Grasshopper is your new membership group title. It changes depending on the number of posts you post.

Dead yeast cells don't necessarily end up in the liver unless they were in the bloodstream, but even then it's mostly the lymph that deal with them.

This peppermint herbal tea sounds amazing ... I think I will go buy myself a box today actually ...
however;

does drinking herbal teas STAIN the teeth or cause tooth enamel erosion perhaps in the longrun ???

Should we be drinking all herbal teas with a straw do u
think Shelley ??
TY

[shelley]

nope, herbal teas don't have tannins, which is what stains.

THAT'S GREAT, TY ...

I also noticed on a box of PEPPERMINT HERBAL TEA today
that is says to use for two weeks ????????????


I thought u could drink peppermint herbal tea anytime ???

Anyways,
I bought another brand (STASH Premium peppermint CAFFEINE FREE herbal tea) and it doesn't say anything on the box ...

Do herbals "have to" be ORGANIC ???

[shelley]

It's best if teas are organic but I don't worry about it too much.

Yes, peppermint tea is strong enough that you should take breaks from it. All herbs and spices and most whole foods should be rotated. Anything that helps will hurt over time with constant use = abuse.

[LILA1963]

I have tendancy to do that unfortunately ...

I can't seem to find the right balance anymore ...
When I like a food ... or I read that it's superhealthy etc ... I eat it forever ,
then when I find or hear of something else ... I eat it over and over again etc ...

I HAVE REALLY LOST MY WAY WITH FOOD
mostly because we r so bombarded DAILY ... THE PERRICONE PLAN... THE ATKINS PLAN , then the ACID/ALKALINE/ ...
RAW FOODS ... THE ZONE ... HIGH CARBS ... low carbs .... HIGH PROTEIN, low protein ... sheeshhhhhhhhhhh

I would really need for u to make me a HEALTHY EATING PLAN for the next six months !!!!

Can we work this out somehow???


Maybe this could be a new business for YOU ...
Helping people to eat NORMALLY and HEALTHY again

YOU truly r all about MODERATION and BALANCE ... it's so refreshing and inspiring !!!

walnut skins will, but not the meat.
The Japanese tend to have very white teeth.

I'm trying to find a list of teas that we can use on a "daily basis" VERSUS the ones that u can ONLY occasionally ...
I think Shelley has provided this list somewhere; however,
I've done a few searches and have come up empty handed ...
The teas I'm mostly interested in r:

Dandelion,
Burdock
Ginger,
Peppermint,
Rosemary,
Fennel,
Rooibos,
Cranberry,
Chamomille,
Licorice root,
Yerba matte,
Green tea
and
White tea

Thank-u and Cheers

[shelley]

I wouldn't overdo fennel, licorice or chamomile.
