TCM Takes: Green Tea Two Ways

This week I’ve recommended two different green tea preparations for clients to help with their health concerns.

  1. Common cold with headache and sore throat: green tea, mixed with peppermint tea and honey. Both green tea and peppermint clear heat, green tea helps reduce headaches, peppermint tea and honey soothe the throat.
  2. Irritability and feeling overheated due to hangover. This can also be effective for what I like to call a non-alcoholic hangover (too much sugar), or PMS symptoms of irritability and heat: ochazuke (green tea over rice). This can be made a thousand ways, but in this iteration we’d use brown rice and add leafy greens and seaweed.

Enjoy!
