Tea and Herbs and Hay Fever — Oh, My!
Tea and herbal infusions can be a major part of your arsenal when the “achoo!” season reigns across the land.

Yerba Mate & Cholesterol
It’s probably a bit of an overstatement to say that yerba mate is taking North America by storm. But this popular herbal beverage has been making inroads in this part of the world in recent years and its popularity shows no sign of abating.

Tea, Hangovers & Tea Drunkenness

The Benefit Claims of Herbals
The health benefits of tea (Camellia Sinensis) are touted everywhere you look.

Ah-Chooo!
The birds and the bees are singing in the trees, flowers are blooming, and allergies are attacking. We haven’t turned on our A.C. yet, but tree pollen will soon force us to close the windows for a time, at least until the shower of golden dust ceases.
