We drink our herbal teas and commune with the infinite. And leave the earth-level scrapping to the unenlightened. What is the cost of being addicted to positivity? The cost is that we don't know who we are. We may be "an expression of the infinite"—but we don't know who we are. And we can't know until we know what we are composed of. Every baby learns to name its nose, its toes, it belly button. But right now, can you name your grief? Your longings? Your shame? Do you know what drives you, forces you to repeat actions and thoughts that your deepest self abhors?

All of these limited diets generate varying degrees of detoxification—that is, elimination of toxins from the body. Individual experiences with fasting depend on the condition of the body (also mind and attitude). Detoxification might be intense and temporarily increase sickness or might be immediately helpful and uplifting.

Getting back to the basics means learning to take the time again to shop for, prepare, and sit down to eat wholesome, nourishing meals—to generally be more conscious and conscientious with our diet.

However, when doing extractions, as in making herbal teas, distilled water may help bring out the most in the medicinal properties of the herbs.

That's because I eat a high-fiber diet, drink lots of juices and herbal teas, and engage in a good deal of exercise. On the road, it's another story. Sometimes I have to go without my fruits and vegetables, fluids, and physical activity. Then I might get stopped up. This first happened when I was in the army. The mess hall served few fruits and vegetables, so I found myself eating meat and potatoes, much to my chagrin. Years later, when I was doing botanical research in Panama, I had a few days out in the bush when I lived off canned meat, white rice, and fried bread.

If you brew herbal teas to treat your varicose veins, I recommend adding some grated lemon peel. Besides adding flavor, the bioflavonoids in the peel help strengthen blood vessels. witch hazel (hamamelis virginiana). Commission E approves the topical application of witch hazel as a treatment for hemorrhoids. Since hemorrhoids are varicosities, I suspect that the herb might benefit varicose leg veins as well. Witch hazel is cooling and astringent, meaning that it helps draw tissue together. This action can alleviate the symptoms of varicose veins.

These side effects can be quite serious. I've read reliable estimates from the mid-1990s that the 68 million prescriptions for NSAIDs handed out annually caused some 200,000 cases of gastrointestinal bleeding, which in turn caused or contributed to 10,000 to 20,000 deaths.

If you drink herbal teas to lower your cancer risk, don't forget to add lemon. The peel, fruit, and juice of this tangy fruit contain limonene, a compound that's a potent cancer preventive. In one study, a group of laboratory animals was injected with a chemical that causes lung cancer. Some of the animals were also given a single 25-milligram dose of limonene. Compared with the animals that didn't receive the compound, those that did developed 78 percent fewer tumors. Other research suggests that limonene can help prevent breast cancer. Lemon is not the best source of limonene.

If I'm feeling a tad sluggish but I don't want the big boost of caffeine, I'll munch some ci-neole-rich herbs straight from my Garden of Youth or add some to the beverage herbal teas that I sip throughout the day. Besides providing gentle stimulation, cineole seems to improve mental function. In laboratory experiments, it enhances rats' abilities to navigate mazes, whether the cineole is inhaled, ingested, or applied topically. Maybe it can help you get through life's maze a bit more easily.

Heartburn: herbal teas Douse the Fire I wish that I could forget my experiences with heartburn. But I can't. The pain is all too memorable. Television commercials touting remedies for this condition refer to it either as heartburn or as acid indigestion. If it gets really bad, doctors call it GERD, for gastroesophageal reflux disease. But you'll never have to experience GERD, or even heartburn for that matter, if you know how to prevent it. I learned how, and nowadays, I rarely get that uncomfortable burning sensation beneath my breastbone. Heartburn has nothing to do with your heart.
