What herbal teas should i try if i like Oolong tea to get stress relief and headache relief?

Question

I LOVE Oolong tea, but i would like to start trying some herbal teas...mainly to get the healing affects of the different herbs for different things, like stress relief, or headache relief. What would you suggest for a good herbal tea to start off with?

Answer 1

if you like oolong you might like to try chinese herbal teas such as chrysanthemum which is calming. sometimes it is sold in sachets already dissolved in a lot of sugar. this is lovely but it depends if you like sweet things or not. the unsweetened variety tastes very different so maybe try both?

as a tea lover you probably know that tea has healing benefits in it's own right ?? but if you want to cut back on caffeine maybe you could try green or white teas? you can also buy tea flowers which are beautiful. these are generally made of green or white teas combined with real flowers such as chrysanthemum. just watching these unfurl is so relaxing that you won't be stressed for long.

Answer 2

Sure chamomile tea or valerian tea is really good for thier calming effects and stress relief.  For mild headache relief try some rosemary tea.  Really bad headache relief white willow bark made into a tea with some green tea added for caffiene to make it work faster.  If you have migraines your just screwed unless you have some opium poppy tea.
