RLS: laxatea

January 14, 1999

LaxaWHAT?????? You read it...Laxatea. It's a new tea I found, last month,

made by Celestial Seasonings. NO, folks, I'm NOT a distributor. LOL I

just like their pretty boxes, so I tend to buy their teas.

Anyhow...IF you have problems with constipation, I highly recommend this

tea. One cup at night, and I'm moving things in the morning. (Oh God, I

can't WAIT to hear what Jack, Larry, and a few other jokesters in the group

will have to say about THIS one!) LOL

The reason I'm saying this in the RLS group, is that I've noticed, over the

years, that my gut can make the difference of whether I sleep through the

night. If I have indigestion or am backed up (constipation), I sleep

uneasy, waking several times during the night. Sometimes it's very subtle

and I can't figure out why I'm waking. BUT...(here's were it fits into this

group)....inevitably, while I'm awake, the RLS will kick in. Is it because

the body is physically unsettled, so it becomes anxious, causing the RLS?

Who knows? But the trick, in my opinion, is to NOT have the unsettled

stuff in my gut and to not wake up at all.

SO...IF you're interested, go find some Laxatea....or some other herbal

laxative tea. The main ingredient is senna...same as in Senekot. It also

contains ginger (good for nausea and settling your stomach) and fennel.

Other minor ingredients are: hawthorn berries, milk thistle seed, roasted

chicory root, etc.

The first night I tried it...no results. Then I tried double strengthing

it. Yikes!!! It worked!!! Too well. Now I just use one tea bag each

night. It's a good tasting tea, too...with Vanilla cinnamon flavor and

caffeine free. Just having the warm smooth tasting tea is settling and

relaxing, too.

You're supposed to use it at night, and it works in 6-12 hours.

Hope it helps someone.

Okay guys...let's hear the jokes. I'm sure you're going nuts, waiting to

lambast me. :-P
