Can't Do Prescription Drugs...tea works ! Posted: 02-25-06 23:56pm
I've battled with my anxiety for years
through school, the military,
relationships, and my professional life.
I've learned not to hate it but to deal
with it. I can't stand any of the
prescription drugs because my body shuts
down and i'm pretty much a vegetable.
With that said i've never been a tea
drinker but an ex-girlfriend of mine told
me to try drinking tea. Tea? Yes, tea.
I told her what about the caffeine and she
replied that the caffeine content in tea
is minimal, plus the combination of other
therapeutic properties of tea actually
make you feel a sense of calmness, while
still being alert. I thought to myself
this can't be true, but it doesn't hurt to
try. Well I tried a tea she recommended
which was an assam loose leaf and I was
blown away! I tell you my nerves and
sense of uneasiness, which incarcerates me
from time-to-time throughout the day was
gone! I was finally able to function! In
anycase, it’s been almost a year since
that enlightening experience and since
then i’ve falling in love with the
wonders of tea, especially loose leaf tea.
