Teas

Published by

Teas are essential to me. I have always loved drinking tea, aside from tea being absolutely delicious and relaxing, it is extremely beneficial to your health. Teas can help ease symptoms of health problems or any type of symptomatic dilemma you might be having. These are the type of teas I drink and I will add common problems that you might be having, and how tea can relieve some of those symptoms for you. My favorite tea: Green tea   Benefits Green tea is loaded with anti-oxidants that can reduce formation of free radicals in the body, antioxidants protect cells and molecules from damage.

Let me tell you my story.   It was about the end of Senior year of high school when I discovered a painful lump in my underarm, it was about the size of a big grape. I googled my symptoms of course, since it was painful it was nothing to worry about its probably just a cyst. I went to the doctor just to make sure and they said , it’ll go away, it’s a cyst or a swollen lymph node give it a week and try not to irritate the area. I followed all orders and it eventually went away. For about two years I would have recurring lymph node flare ups, from my neck to my underarms. I thought to myself …
