Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 This is another one of those conundrums for me. Peppermint and Spearmint really hurt my tummy, literally making pain and causing gas. But Chamomile and others like raspberry leaf (also: scullcap, catnip, mother's milk)do me a lot of good. They soothe my gut. Chamomile helps with sleep and raspberry leaf helps with PMS. Is there some substantiated evidence that other herbs cause diarrhea or a worsening of symptoms? I find herbs so much more tolerable than meds for certain conditions. I also find that buying the tea in single herbs, like only chamomile, and a high quality, standardized brand, does fine in my tummy. But I'm wondering if they have been found to interfere with healing or if some people can tolerate them.

Sorry Sue, no herbal teas except peppermint and spearmint as the others tend to be laxative. I add cloces, cinnamon and vanill ato weak regular tea, and saccharine and it is really nice brew.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hola Gwen, I hate spearmint and peppermint teas so I never touched them even though they are the only herm teas mentioned and allowed. I have a different effect from chamomile tea. I get pain and sometimes bloating. It does not sit well with me. I mentioned I think a few days ago asking anyone if they drank Linden tea? This is something that is very effective ( calms down sometimes bloating) and doesn't seem to have any laxative effects as is feared by drinking herb teas even though it in itself is an herb tea. I put a stick of cinammon in it to make it taste less medicinal. F. Spain, 37 UC - SCD 9 yrs Gwen Pollara gwendolion@...> escribió: This is another one of those conundrums for me.
