February 9, 2007  Tea and Sympathy You've tried every health fad there is. You tossed out the pasta and frozen waffles during the no-carb craze, now the words "trans fats" throw you into a tailspin. Diets have taken you from Beverly Hills to South Beach and back again. Enough already. What about something that makes you feel good?Tea was always the answer to stomach aches, heartbreaks and rainy days. Now tea is really heating up – not that the brew people have been drinking for centuries can be classified as new, but lately it's all about how tea can improve your complexion, prevent cancer, fight free radicals, ease stress and more. Online tea emporium The Shaded Leaf is a great place to start. Their high-quality loose leaf teas run the spectrum from mild herbals to strong black brews, and come as single ingredient teas (green, oolong, lavender, spearmint, etc. – 23 in all), or in perfectly mixed blends. Sprout, their latest collection of herbal infusions, is designed and blended by a pediatric nurse and lactation consultant especially for expecting and new moms. The four all-herbal formulas include Teanatal, for expecting moms; Postpartum Blend, to help restore balance and soothe the hormonally challenged and sleep deprived; Breastfeeding Blend; and Tummease, for baby's tummy troubles and colic. Every ingredient has a long and proven tradition (like ginger, an ancient remedy for morning sickness, or chamomile and fennel seed, which have eased babies' tummies for centuries), so you can sip with confidence. Maybe Mom was right and tea can cure all. Forget the fads. Available online at theshadedleaf.com. |
