Re: tea



I think you'll find list of herbs used to make teas almost inumerable. 
But some herbs that appear in many teas are spearmint, peppermint, 
catnip, chamomile, ginger, fennel, anise, chicory, rosehips, lemon 
grass, etc. The teas I drink most often have mints and ginger in them. 
They have historically been used for stomach upset and nervous 
conditions. For an article on catnip go to 
http://www.itsnet.com/~treelite/CATNIP.html. Rosehips are high in 
Vitamin C. Many herbs are put in teas because of their flavor and their 
ability to mask poor tasting herbs. One notable herb in this area is 
licorice. 
There's alot more. Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking 
for.
