Shoshanna’s Kitchen – Episode 13 – Masala Chai Tea

http://www.bulkherbstore.com/

Masala chai, translated to ’spiced tea’, is what the Indian people call a spiced beverage they like to drink. It usually has things infused into it like cloves, orange peel, cinnamon, milk, and other spices and ingredients that aren’t included in traditional British teas. It can be a great change in taste, and it’s great to experiment with your own creations. Take a look!

Anxiety and Stress — A Chinese Herbal Prescription (8)

ANXIETY and STRESS – - A Chinese herbal prescription
As you know, anxiety is a complicated condition brought on by various problems of life. It would be nice if I could write a prescription to make all your problems go away. However, you know that I don’t have that kind of power, especially in financial matters, personal relationships, job security, or business dealings.

Nevertheless, I can help you reduce the physical stress that anxiety brings. Anxiety throws your body out of balance. As a result, various physical problems tend to surface and resurface, such as indigestion, overeating, sleep difficulty, migraines, skin rash, burst of temper, energy drain, etc.

The prescription should help your body achieve the balance that has been lost. How? Balance is a delicate thing. You can only restore it by gently nourishing the major organs back to their normal conditions. When they become stronger, they will be able to find their own way to balance without you having to tell them how. As a result, you will feel much better overall. The Chinese approach to anxiety is to nourish, moisten, and soothe. The word is ? , pronounced as “ren”, for which I cannot find an English word similar in meaning.

The prescription should basically be a combination of gentle nourishing for all major organs and the Yin.
1) Liver
Bai Shao ? ?
Gou Qi Zi ? ? ?
2) Lungs
Bai He ? ?
Jie Gen ? ?
3) Heart
Zao Ren ? ?
Wu Wei Zi ? ? ?
4) Stomach
Bai Zhu ? ?
Dang Shen ? ?
5) Kidneys
Qian Shi ? ?
Jin Qian Cao ? ? ?
6) The Yin
Mai Men Dong ? ? ?
Fu Ling ? ?
Sheng Di Huang ? ? ?
A combination of 13 herbs are recommended.

One must be careful not to prescribe strong herbs for fast results. The consequence may be negative. When stronger herbs are used, they generate heat inside the body. Excess heat may make the anxiety worse.

Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for dissipation of excess heat and the balancing to work.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* Your changing condition.
* How weak is your body and where is the weakness.
* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.

Herbal Tea And Common Tea (37)

Many Westerners are fascinated with Chinese teas. In the old times, European explorers came to China looking for teas, spices and silk. Now, some myths about tea still remain in the Western world. For all practical purposes, tea is just a cup of water with something dissolved to make a different taste, or a different effect. There are basically two categories of Chinese tea: herbal and common teas.

What’s the difference between them?
• Herbal tea tastes yucky. Common tea tastes good.
• Herbal tea serves a medicinal purpose. Common tea is for pleasure.
• Herbal tea is made from brewing raw medicinal herbs in a pot for some time. It’s always brown or black in color, never green.
• On the other hand, you make common tea by just pouring boiling water into a cup containing some processed tealeaves.
• Herbal tea should be prescribed by an herbalist for a special health condition. However, you drink common tea anytime you feel like.

More about Chinese common tea:
• As the name implies, they are commonly available and consumed.
• Over a hundred varieties of common tea exist with different smells and tastes. The great majority is brown or black in color. Some are green or reddish.
• You can buy common tea in the supermarket or in the restaurant. For the expensive and exquisite varieties, you can only buy them in a special Chinese teashop.
• Depending on the uniqueness of taste, the price of Chinese common tea ranges from a few dollars a kilogram to hundreds of dollars.
• Most Chinese drink the inexpensive varieties at home or in the restaurant. Some favorites are: Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, Po Li, even the English brand Lipton.
• The Chinese drink common tea for pleasure because it tastes better than bland water. They talk about the tastes but seldom the health effects, unless with a Westerner. Why? Everybody likes to talk up his own cultural myths with a foreigner.

Is common tea good for health?
• You may say so because common tea is flavored water and water is good for health. Also, the taste of common tea makes you feel good so it must be good for your health.
• How about green tea? The same logic applies. Strictly speaking, green tea leaf is not a medicinal herb and is not documented in the herbal dictionary.
• Businessmen advertise many good things about green tea. Many people want to believe in its magic.
• Some medicinal herbs that have a sweet taste and easily soften in hot water are also used to make common tea. Examples are Gou Qi Zi and Chrysanthemum. However, their health effects are limited because they are not strong enough when being used singly.

What is common tea really good for besides flavor?
• If not diluted, common tea can help ease digestion. Try it after you’ve had a heavy meal.
• Common tea also helps dissolve some fat in the food. The Cantonese must drink tea with Dim Sum, a tasty, colorful, but oily food.
• After you’ve eaten crabs with your fingers, wash them with common tea. It helps getting rid of the fishy smell.
• If you drink common tea everyday like you drink water, it will have a good cleansing effect on your digestive system.
