Epsom salts can draw toxins out of your body. Start with a very clean tub, take a shower first, then fill the tub with the hottest water you can stand. Begin with l/4 cup of epsom salts, work up gradually to 4 cups, and as long as l/2 hour. If you experience light-headedness, drain the tub, and wait until you feel steady to leave the tub. Otherwise, take a shower after and dry off with a clean towel.
With dry skin brushing, essential oils and soothing music, this can be a luxurious, yet inexpensive detox technique.

Types of Water
We often call the earth "The Planet of Water"
Roughly 70% of its surface is covered with water. All living things
on the planet rely on water for survival. We need to drink lots of
water, but unfortunately most of the drinking water available to
us is simply not healthy anymore. In some cases, our drinking
water is dangerous to our health.
Tap Water
How do you feel about drinking 8 glasses of tap water each day?
Chlorination makes tap water safe to drink but it can also react
with organic compounds inside your body to produce toxic
substances, especially in your colon. Small amounts of chlorine
are added to our public drinking water supply to kill bacteria and
other microorganisms. This amount of chlorine is small enough
for us to drink but it can still kill bacteria and enzymes in our
body essential to digestion.
During a shower, our bodies absorb roughly 2 glasses of this
chlorinated water through our skin. We also inhale the mist and
steam of this water while we shower. Nearly all tap water supplies
contain large amounts of active oxygen (oxidants) and high
positive ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) values. Having a
high POSITIVE ORP means that tap water can be very oxidizing,
or destructive to your body.
Purified Water Distilled Water and Reverse
Osmosis
Distilled water and water purified by reverse osmosis may not
have most pollutants and additives found in tap water, but it also
lacks any minerals naturally found earth's water that are
essential to our well being. These processes remove
EVERYTHING from the water, including helpful minerals.
Since this water contains no minerals or life whatsoever, it
leaches vital minerals and alkaline buffers from our bodies.
Distilled water and reverse osmosis water have no energy or
vitality at all and can contribute to an acidic state in our bodies.
Bottled Water (Including "Mineral Water")
You might think that bottled water is healthier than tap water. But
in a four-year scientific study, The NRDC (Natural Resources
Defense Council) tested more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands,
a third of them were found to contain contaminants such as
arsenic and carcinogens.
Recently, another shocking study showed that over time cancer-
causing toxins such as dioxin leach into the water from the
plastic bottle. Actually, a lot of the bottled "spring" waters are just
filtered tap water put in a plastic bottle. These bottles often
remain on store and factory shelves, unopened for months or
even years.
Bottled water is essentially dead water. If you choose your water
based on the package or the brand, you should know that some
95% of the price you are paying for that bottled water is covering
other costs, such as packaging, advertising, distribution costs,
rather than the water itself.
Yet, bottled water is so popular and available almost
everywhere. As a result, the bottled water industry enjoys annual
sales of more than $3.5 billion worldwide. 15 years ago people
wouldn't spend $3-$5 per day on bottled water; these days they
do.
Alkaline Ionized Water
Alkaline ionized water is by far the healthiest water available
today. Decades of scientific and medical research have gone
into its developement. It is produced by an in-home machine that
first filters and then ionizes tap water. This process splits the
water into its alkaline and acidic parts. The alkaline water is used
for drinking. It has tremendous hydrating and antioxidant
qualities, due in part to its smaller water clusters and abundance
of extra electrons created by the ionization process.
Kangen™ Water - The Highest Grade of Alkaline
Ionized Water
Kangen™ water has the strongest antioxidant power of any
alkaline ionized water. The Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)
of Kangen™ water can reach up to -500mV, where most
average ionized water reaches only around -150mV.
The difference is significant. As a matter of fact, regular Alkaline
Ionized Water units are classified as "home health appliance,"
while Kangen™ Water units are in the "medical device"
classification by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Japan,
which is equivalent to the FDA in the U.S. Currently, out of 44
companies manufacturing ionized water generators, Only 6 of
them make units certified as Kangen™ Water grade.
Enagic ONLY manufactures certified Kangen™ Water units. And
its quality is considered by many as the best of the best in the
industry.
The word "Kangen™" "return to origin" in Japanese. A more
general meanings would be "renewing" or "restoring". Drinking
Kangen™ Water can help "renew" and "restore" a healthy
balance in your life.

White Tea helps fight Obesity as well
White Tea helps fight Obesity as well
Posted by alexis May 13, 2009
Not only can white tea help fight cancer and lower blood pressure, new research shows that it helps reduce fat as well. Published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism, the research indicates that white teas actually help reduce fat levels as well as break down existing fat cells.
“In the industrialised countries, the rising incidence of obesity-associated disorders including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes constitutes a growing problem,” said Marc Winnefeld, a nutritionist at the company, “We’ve shown that white tea may be an ideal natural source of slimming substances”.
White teas continue to gain ground as a very healthy alternative to other beverages. Green teas are still the most popular worldwide and black teas are the most consumed in the US and most Western countries. So if you’re dieting, why not add white tea to your plans?

Lose Belly Fat Faster
Lose Belly Fat Faster
Posted by veritas January 22, 2009
Thought this was interesting: A new study shows that green tea helps you lose tummy fat faster than exercise alone. In fact, the study participants that drank the green tea lost twice as much weight as the participants who didn’t! They averaged 4.4 pounds versus just over 2 pounds. That’s a great incentive alone to add green tea to your diet.
This weight loss is attributed to the catechins in green tea. This is an antioxidant prevalent in green tea that helps with a number of health issues.
But the news gets even better. The article mentions two other benefits to drinking green tea: it may lower the risk of diabetes and decrease the risk of breast cancer in women. We’ve mentioned green tea studies before and the benefits seem to keep piling up.
So steep yourself a cup of green tea today! And consider it an essential part of your health plan.

Stressed? Drink more Tea
Stressed? Drink more Tea
Posted by veritas October 8, 2008
In today’s world, stress seems the norm, rather than the exception. From financial crises to the upcoming Presidential election, our lives are full of busyness and stress on a regular basis. But science has shown that there is a way to help reduce the negative effects of stress on our bodies.
The Problem of Stress
Why should you stress about stress? Well, you shouldn’t. However reducing stress – or at least the effects of stress – can help prevent numerous medical problems down the road. In the short term, consistent states of stress can result in fatigue, headaches, inability to concentrate and depression. But in the long run the real problems of stress come from the medical problems that can arise: ulcers, a weakened immune system, cardiovascular problems and even mental issues.
So reducing the stress in your life should be a priority. And there are great ways to reduce you personal stress including exercise, getting enough sleep, practicing yoga, slowing down your life, even having sex or laughing more. But there’s also a very easy way to reduce the effects of stress on your life that everyone can do: drink more tea!
Tea and Stress
How does tea reduce the effects of stress on your body? There may be more than one answer, but clearly one of the ways is by reducing the stress hormone cortisol in the body after a stressful event or day. A recent study on black tea explains why this matters:
“Our study suggests that drinking black tea may speed up our recovery from the daily stresses in life. Although it does not appear to reduce the actual levels of stress we experience, tea does seem to have a greater effect in bringing stress hormone levels back to normal,” says researcher Andrew Steptoe, of the University College London, in a news release. “This has important health implications, because slow recovery following acute stress has been associated with a greater risk of chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease.”
Traditionally, green tea has been recommended for helping reduce the effects of stress, but this particular study focused on black tea. Another study shows that Oolong teas can help reduce the affects of stress. This one focused on the physical (and immediate) effects of stress on the body:
The results of the study concluded that the women who consumed tea showed reduced signs of physical stress related symptoms like headaches, stiffness in the neck and back and eye fatigue. Those participants receiving oolong tea showed greater benefit than those receiving barley tea. However, participants receiving barley tea showed greater benefit than the participants receiving water.
Barley tea is a herbal tea that is popular in Asia. Both the herbal tea and the Oolong had positive effects, but teas made from the Camellia sinensis plant seem to have the most positive effect. This would include Black teas, Oolong teas, Green teas and White teas. It’s still not clear exactly what ingredient in tea has this positive effect:
“We do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stress recovery and relaxation. Tea is chemically very complex, with many different ingredients. Ingredients such as catechins, polyphenols, flavonoids and amino acids have been found to have effects on neurotransmitters in the brain, but we cannot tell from this research which ones produced the differences.
So which teas work best for stress?
Best Teas to Reduce Stress
There are a few teas that stand out from the others in terms of reducing stress. The differences are primarily because of the other ingredients added to the teas, which give it an improved ability to fight stress and the effects of stress.
I would recommend starting with Earl Grey or Earl Grey Creme. Both are black teas, which means they help the heart and circulatory system in addition to helping reducing the effects of stress. But the also contain Bergamot Oil, which has been shown to reduce depression. Depression is another side-effect of stress, so these two teas in particular can be very effective at offsetting the effects of stress.
Next, I would consider Jasmine Oolong tea. Jasmine is commonly used in aroma therapy to help reduce anxiety and stress. As soon as the scent of this steaming cup of tea hits you, you’ll understand why. And Oolong also helps the circulatory system and blocks the abosorption of some cholesterol into the body. Although it contains a bit of caffeine, this tea is actually very relaxing and soothing.
Another tea to consider is Moroccan Mint Green tea. Mint, like Jasmine, has been used for centuries to relax the body and mind. It is especially effective at fighting headaches. The aroma of this tea alone helps to relax you immediately. And green tea also helps regulate your blood sugar and includes EGCG, which helps prevent oxidation damage that can become cancer.
Finally, I recommend Tranquil Dream herbal tea at night to help you relax. Although this isn’t strictly a tea (it’s a herbal tisane), it does include chamomile. Chamomile helps to relax and calm the body, but also reduces stress and acts as a natural anti-depressant. Drinking a cup of Tranquil Dream before bed helps relax your body and mind before bed, so that you get more sleep as well.
These teas are all exceptional at reducing the effects of stress on your body. The studies I mentioned seem to recommend around 4 cups of tea a day to see the best effects. Why not add one of these great teas to your regular schedule? It can only help with reducing stress in your life!

Yerba Mate tea: Energy without Jitters
Yerba Mate tea: Energy without Jitters
Posted by veritas June 20, 2008
Coffee is the morning beverage of choice for Americans for one simple reason: caffeine. It wakes you up and gets you moving no matter how little sleep you actually got the night before. But there is a healthy alternative to coffee that has the same effect: Yerba Mate tea. Teavana offers several Mate teas and all of them have 100% of the caffeine contained in a cup of coffee, but without the jitters.
What is Yerba Mate?
Yerba mate is different from traditional teas, because it is not from the Camellia sinensis plant that true tea comes from. Rather it is a herbal infusion from the Ilex paraguariensis tree native to South America. The leaves from the tea are dried and then steeped in hot water to make Mate teas (or infusions).
Mate leaves are fascinating, much like true teas, because of the myriad health benefits they offer. For example, Yerba Mate contains 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, and 11 polyphenols or antioxidants. This combination means that Mate can offer a number of health benefits that coffee drinkers can only dream of:
Stimulates the immune system. Yerba mate contains saponins, which stimulate the immune system and help protect your body against disease.
Helps reduce cholesterol intake. Glycosides in the Yerba mate leaf bind with cholesterol in your body and prevent the cholesterol from being absorbed into your system.
Help avoid cancer. Yerba mate is loaded with antioxidants, which defend the body against free radical damage, which can cause various cancers. Antioxidants are a main reason people drink teas and Yerba mate has an extremely high amount of antioxidants.
Increases Mental clarity and energy. It includes xanthine alkaloids – one of which is caffeine – which stimulates your mind and body and gives you energy. Just like caffeine, however the added nutritional content of Yerba mate (and different xanthines than coffee) mean you are less likely to have jitters, stomach discomfort, headaches, or a hard stop to the energy than with other caffeinated drinks like coffee.
Helps relieve allergies. Yerba mate also stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids, which help suppress the inflammation and immune response of allergies.
Fights bad breath. Yes, it even fights bad breath by preventing the growth of bacteria responsible for bad breath!
This doesn’t even take into account the vitamins and minerals in a Mate tea! By switching your morning coffee to a morning mate you get all of the mental and physical stimulation you need, but you actually help strengthen your body at the same time. This turns a negative into a positive.
Teavana offers one Mate tea in particular for coffee drinkers: MateVana herbal tea. It has a chocolately, nutty flavor that coffee drinkers tend to enjoy. And, just like coffee, this tea is a hot beverage that you can really enjoy in the morning. So why not try switching out your morning coffee for a morning MateVana for just a week. At the end of the week you can decide whether MateVana is a better choice for you!
