Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Camomile tea for aches and ills Drinking camomile tea can fight a cold and banish menstrual cramps, UK researchers believe. Five cups a day for a fortnight is enough to boost urine levels of substances that can ease muscle spasms and fight inflammation. The team from London's Imperial College tested the urine of 14 healthy camomile tea drinkers. Their research will appear in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.  A host of ills For years, people have used camomile as an anti-inflammatory, a mild sedative and as an anti-ulcer remedy. It has also been reported to have anti-oxidant activity and the essential oil extracted from the chamomile flowers has been shown to possess antimicrobial activity. Dr Elaine Holmes and colleagues set out to investigate what happens in the body when a person drinks camomile tea. In the study, the tea was made with the flowers of German camomile (Matricaria recutita), also known as manzanilla. The researchers tested the volunteers' urine daily, both before and after they had consumed the camomile tea.   There may be something there, but what we need are controlled clinical trials.  Professor Ron Eccles, from the Common Cold Centre in Cardiff Drinking tea caused levels of both glycine, which can ease muscle spasms, and the anti-inflammatory hippurate in the urine to go up. After the volunteers stopped drinking the tea at the end of the two weeks, levels of glycine and hippurate stayed elevated for up to a further two weeks, which suggests the effects may be long-lasting. Professor Ron Eccles, from the Common Cold Centre in Cardiff, said: "This interesting but it really is a very long way off evidence that camomile tea will have effects on colds and menstrual pain. "There may be something there, but what we need are controlled clinical trials." He said the best way to avoid colds was to stay healthy by exercising and eating a balanced diet. "You can try remedies like camomile tea and echinacea, and if they work for you that's fine. "Also, you can take symptomatic treatments - pain killers and hot tasty drinks," he said. Maureen Robertson, from the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine, said camomile worked by removing heat from the body. "It's a very safe herb to use. It's good for inflammation, particularly of the gastrointestinal tract." She said the high essential oil content of camomile also made it a good antiseptic. She said camomile infused oil could be massaged over the pubic area as a remedy for menstrual spasms. But she said pregnant women should be cautious about using camomile because of its action on the womb. BBC NEWS 24 Tuesday, 18 January, 2005, 10:41 GMT

Your looking sooooooooo good UK. You can tell the difference for sure. Im liking your new quote. And your right. I will admit I love watching the BBC here in the states. For nothing more than to watch Gordon Ramsey have a fit and.....Those two ladies doing How Clean Is your House. They have given me alot of cleaning tips I would have never thought of. Basic everyday stuff to clean with. I am a admitted chatter also and have been for years on one chat line. That is where i met my hubby acutally. The Camolie Tea referece was given to me by a chatter from the UK and it works wonderful. If you find anything that references or you know of anything the will reference joint pain let me know. I will try anything at this point !! LOL Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, your doing great!! |

Thank you! The only thing i know thats a sure good thing for joint pain is a joint! lol! It's not for everyone but it does work better than anything else. Otherwise Ibrophen is your best bet. A joint isn't really any good for me at the moment incase i had a coughing fit i might tare inside and i can't eat a brownie anymore! Wait a minute i dont think i thought this through! Damn it!  lol!

LOL ! Your funny ! Im sure it would make me forget about it for a bit but the pain would surely be there when I come back to reality. That would be like drinking it away to. LOL. I actually called my brother up and went and got in his Whirlpool and had it very hot to get to my joint. Its so relaxing. It did help Alot. Yes on the Ibuprofen but my stomach has never liked it much. I have to stick with Tylenol AKA acetaminophen. I thought mabye if yall had a remedy for it I would surely try it.
