The Art of Taking Tea
August 2008
Hello,
I hope your summer has been filled with joy and much happiness! Mine has, and I
am looking forward to the last month of fun. We have plenty of hiking trips and
adventures planned.
Some tips we have learned along the trail.
-Of course, water; bring enough for yourself and your dog. Take your body weight
and divide that number in half. Put that number into ounces, that is a good guide to
how much water you need on a daily basis.
-Booties for your dog. We like ruffwear.
-Extra clothes – thunderstorms happen.
-Don’t drive on new dirt roads up mountains that have not been grated.
-Let someone know where you are going and when you will return.
-Know your limits and have fun!
I am in the process of making some changes to the appearance of my web site.
You now will be able to find me at
www.massageboutique.com for all massage, energy work, hypnotherapy
information
and
www.organicboutiques.com
for all organic products.
These changes will be finalized in the coming weeks.
Remember all products, bodywork and gift certificates are available to purchase
through Paypal or if you wish to save on shipping costs then please email/phone me
to arrange this.
I deliver!
All deliveries are curbside.
I wish to thank each one of you for your continued support of something I truly
believe in. I love being a part of your healthy lives.

The health research is enough to make you forego the latte for strong brewed tea
instead. Name your color -- black, white, green, even red -- teas are packed with
disease-preventing antioxidants (more than some fruits and vegetables) and contain
vitamins, minerals, and at least half the caffeine of coffee.
Fortified with free radical-fighting polyphenols, tea drinkers have a reduced risk of
many different cancers, in particular stomach, colorectal, and even skin cancer. Tea
drinkers also have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and high cholesterol.
Containing anti- inflammatory and arthritis-preventing properties, tea also helps
stimulate the immune system and protect the liver against toxins.
But you have to drink up. Most research points to five or so cups of brewed tea each
day to reap the health benefits. Decaf tea loses some but not much of its health
punch, due to extra processing.
All traditional tea -- white, green, oolong, and black -- is derived from the leaves of an
evergreen tree called the Camellia sinensis, and all contain the health-promoting
polyphenols. White tea is made from young tea leaves, dried in the sun without
fermentation or processing. Green tea is dried with hot air after picking, so it retains
its color but is not fermented. Oolong tea, sometimes referred to as "brown" tea, is
fermented but not processed to the point of black tea. Black tea, on the other hand,
is fully fermented, which accounts for the color of the leaves and its stronger flavor.
Rooibos, or red tea, is naturally caffeine-free and from the Aspalathus
linearis, a shrub that grows only at high altitudes near Cape of Good Hope in South
Africa.
Herbal teas are made from a variety of plants, roots, bark, seeds, and flowers and
are technically herbal infusions rather than tea. Though they don't contain the same
antioxidants and haven't received the same research-based accolades as traditional
tea, the herbs in these infusions have certain healing properties that have been used
for centuries to treat many common health issues.
