The Healing Properties of Green Tea

The healing properties of greeen tea have put it in the forefront of today's wellness news.
Known for its versatile and positive properties benefiting the whole body, it promotes blood circulation and increases the body's natural resistance, helping with oxygenation.
Proponents of green tea claims it achieves greater harmony and improves the body's ability to handle the external physical and psycological pressures of life.
Green tea also prevents tooth decay and make teeth more resistant to acids, promote digestion and cleanse the body internally.
Unlike black tea, which oxidizes as it dries, changing the characteristics of the tea, green tea is flash-steamed for about 20 seconds to retain the maximum amount of active properties.
Green tea contains vitamin B, as well as C and E. Many tea drinkers say that they actually feel less tired and brightens their whole outlook.

Wu-Long Tea – Helps Reverse the Signs of Aging

As we grow older, the effect of free radicals takes its toll on the body mainly in the form of aging. Actually in the past 50 years, free radical research has strongly concluded that free radicals are a major factor in aging and the visible signs that go along with it. Other diseases related to aging and caused in whole or part by free radical damage are cancer, Alzheimer's dementia, arthritis and inflammatory disease and heart/artery disease.
These free radicals are produced by stress, pollution, eating processed foods, chemical additives in many of the foods we eat etc..
The damaging process is certainly a gradual one. day in - day out. Many of the visible signs of aging, such as dark spots and wrinkling of the skin, have been strongly linked to increased levels of free radicals invading our body...
Antioxidants are the best defense against free radicals. Fortunately you can take action to reduce the amount of these nasty, damaging substances in your body without drugs.
One of the best and enjoyable methods is to drink Wu-long tea (oolong).
Wu Long tea is rich in these 3 substances: catechins, theaflavins and thearubigins. These substances act as antioxidants, which destroy free radicals and are completely natural. Be advised, grocery store versions of Wulong or any teas have much lower levels of these antioxidants because the leaves have been extremely processed. The oxidation process reduces the catachin level.
To get maximum potency and value of Wu Long tea I suggest you find a good online tea store and not waste your money on pre-packaged name brand type wu-long tea.
You are doing yourself a favor every time you drink a cup….slowly undoing the effects of aging. Also it's nice to know there are no side effects to drinking Wu-long tea; it tastes great and is good for your soul!

Are You Looking for Hoodia Tincture or Hoodia Tea?

Phytopharm appears to be working on that. There is at this time no prescription form of hoodia. If you are looking for a different form of hoodia, there are complete articles at our Hoodia Info Blog comparing hoodia liquids, drops, capsules, herb blends and even hoodia coffee.

In this article we look at two hoodia tea products and what they contain. As a result many companies use the phrase hoodia tincture to refer to their products. While there are no specific products being sold as "hoodia tincture", tincture is a word that is synonymous with drops, medicine, tablet, tonic and many other words.
Before you decide to buy based on price, look at the ingredients. The price for Desert hoodia tea is $39.95 per twenty tea bags was the listed price at the time of this writing. The price for Bija hoodia tea varies depending on the distributor, but $12.95 per twenty tea bags plus shipping and handling. Two easily found hoodia tea products are Desert Tea and Bija Hoodia Tea.

Manufacturers of hoodia tea commonly use the term hoodia tincture to describe the products that they sell.
Green tea contains caffeine which is a stimulant and should be avoided by those who are sensitive to stimulants. Hoodia testimonials, reviews and customer comments indicate that the larger the amount of hoodia gordonii present, in any forms of hoodia tincture, the better the results. Hoodia testimonials, reviews and customer comments indicate that the larger the amount of hoodia gordonii, green tea, magnolia bark, oatstraw herb, garcinia cambogia, bitter orange and grapefruit.

Hoodia testimonials, reviews and customer comments indicate that the larger the amount of hoodia gordonii, green tea, magnolia bark, oatstraw herb, garcinia cambogia, bitter orange and grapefruit. Bija hoodia tea contains an unspecified amount of hoodia gordonii, green tea, magnolia bark, oatstraw herb, garcinia cambogia, bitter orange and grapefruit. Desert hoodia tea contains an unspecified amount of hoodia gordonii per tea bag and rooibos (an African shrub whose leaves are dried to make an herbal tea) for flavor.
Bitter orange and grapefruit are added as flavorings and for anti-oxidant value. Garcinia cambogia was used in traditional Indian medicine to treat swelling, constipation and an array of other complaints. Its effectiveness as a weight loss supplement has not been proven. Magnolia bark and oatstraw are commonly used in herbal teas. With that many different ingredients, there may not be very much hoodia gordonii present in this hoodia tea. Hoodia testimonials, reviews and customer comments indicate better results and overall satisfaction with a hoodia tincture that is 100% hoodia gordonii.
Other considerations about hoodia tea are the same as those with any hoodia tincture. For best results and satisfaction, look for products with CITES certifications that verify the presence of genuine hoodia gordonii. You should consult your doctor before using any hoodia tincture; this is particularly true of a hoodia tea which contains stimulants, since stimulants can affect blood pressure. Persons should be in reasonably good health. Products should not be used by children or women who are nursing. Whether you choose to use a hoodia tea or a hoodia tincture of another variety, report any unusual symptoms to your health care professional along with a list of the product ingredients.
