Has anyone had red raspberry leaf tea make them sick?

September 30, 2009

So I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and yesterday I drank about 24 oz of red raspberry leaf tea..and felt great all night. Then, I woke up this morning not feeling very well…kind of crampy, nauseous, and with a sore throat. Has anyone else experienced this?

no, i never felt sick after it. maybe u r allergic? or maybe its just coincidence.

I heard thyme tea is best for a cold but I also heard that black tea is good, too.

Any suggestions?

What is the best way to get a stronger cup of tea, when making loose leaf tea?

Would you use more loose tea, or a longer steep time?

Use more tea. You WILL get a stronger brew by steeping it longer, but longer steeping also releases more tannins, which will negatively affect the flavor.

Does Oolong Tea help you lose weight?

September 28, 2009

I heard that Oolong tea can help assist you with a safe diet to lose weight. Does anyone know what foods I should eat while drinking the oolong tea to promote weight loss?

Well, it works as a diuretic. (Helps promote bowl movement and assist in cleaning the liver.) So, pretty good for you. You wouldnt lose much weight off of it though, unless you follow with diet and exercise regimen.
Add more fruit, veggies, and whole fibers to your diet.
Oatmeal, preferably organic can be used alternately with fruits and whole wheat bagel for breakfast. Salad,with light dressing, and maybe a bowl of soup, for lunch. Top off dinner with some nice protein, lean, like chicken or fish. If you are veggie, then tofu is a good source of protein. (Just an example of some of the things you can eat.)
Cut out soda, drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Skim milk has been proven good for weight loss, or if you don’t like plain milk, yogurt. If you like to drink juice, its better to juice your own, because most juice has entirely too much sugar in it. Leafy greens, legumes, etc. Oh, and a little tip, stay away from the Gatorade and powerade, they say it may actually cause you to gain weight if you are not sweating much. Also, if you can, its always good to either have someone do it with you, or join some sort of weight loss support, your chances increase significantly higher than when you go it alone.
Hope this helped!

is oolong tea only sold at asian supermarkets?

September 27, 2009

the regular store chains where im from didn’t carry any such as Safeway and Target.

You can find really good quality asian oolong (wulong) tea online.

I think its much easier to guy it online and have it shipped to you then hunting around for it.

I found some different asian teas online at the link below.

Green Tea, White Tea, Wulong tea (oolong tea), Jasmine White Tea, and Herbal White tea.
