Herbs for relaxation so sleep will come, and relieving pain or water retention have the welcome plus of being void of the side effects that come with chemical medications.

Green Tea, or not to Green Tea?


Wow! Is it just me or? Wait! Let me start again, I think it?s great that Oprah is the communicator to the masses that she is, without her or her influence, we would surely be less informed and less enlightened than we currently are, I can admit this, but there are certain things that exist that should not necessarily require the direction of Oprah or her throng of guests to bring to light there-well there mere existence?

This has changed the western diet to concise of high sugar, fat and protein which is low in vital nutrients.
