I'll play - where can I get this nasty sounding stuff?
My grandma had fascination for herbs and tea out of its! I learned a lot from her (she is still live) and can tell that proper use of herbal tea is priceless. I know it - I tried it!
Ginger tea is good for motion sickness - I've tried it and it does work.
My SO always drank chrysanthemum tea when he would work outside in the garden during the summer months. He swears that it does cool you down and even got the mailperson to drink it also.
I see you have been claimed by your KnittySP7 already! So have I! Exciting isn't it?
Well, that's the reason why I am having chrysanthemum tea lately -- the weather's so erratic in Singapore!
Just add a little rock sugar (which nourishes your inner organs) and it's so yummy!
