My girlfriend was suffering from a stiff neck and shoulder for a couple

days. I fixed her some tea befor she went to bed consisting of

aproximately 2parts valerian root, and one part each of catnip and

chamomile. To sweeten it up and add flavor I added about two

tablespoons of a tea I had made earlier which consisted of greentea,

hibiscus, ginger and cardamon (yummy). She enjoyed it, slept pretty

well and her neck and shoulder was in good shape the following morning.

I've been experimenting with combinations of herbs for teas. I love the

fruity taste hibiscus has. I also enjoy the spices found in chai like

teas. If anyone has any combinations they've tried I'd love to hear

about them.

Peace!!
