Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've been drinking 1 cup of the strongly brewed herb mineral (tea) water in place of the electrolyte drink for the past week or so and I was wondering if it's ok to have more than a cup. The recipe says one is enough, but to have two if you're feeling tired or run-down, etc. Will it matter that much if I have more than 1 cup per day? I've been making it with peppermint, dandelion and a little milk thistle and have found it has a sort of a 'medicinal' effect. Also, is there a good reference anyone knows of to find different herbal combination's based on different types of situations? For example) I know that peppermint and ginger are good for digestion. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example) I know that peppermint and ginger are good for digestion. +++. 2 cups a day should be fine. I'm sure there are many internet references for combinations of herbs.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Bee, I need to back up and ask a more basic question about this topic: What IS " mineralized water? " I'm embarrassed that I don't know, so I've never asked. I live in an area with good tap water, or so I've always heard. I know now that the Fluoride in the water is harmful, but I think my local water is fortified with minerals. Is " mineral water " good tap water, or is there a certain kind/brand that you use? I've looked for it at the grocery store, but I can't find anything called " mineral water. " Thanks, (once again) Kathy > > > > I've been drinking 1 cup of the strongly brewed herb mineral (tea) > water in place of the electrolyte drink for the past week or so and I > was wondering if it's ok to have more than a cup.

You are correct, that mineralized water means it contains minerals normally found in good water, which includes tap water in many areas. Non-mineralized water includes Reverse Osmosis, Distilled Water and Softened Water. There is no brand. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
