Yogi Tea!

So a good friend made some Yogi tea for me during my maternity leave. I wanted to list the recipe and the background behind it.  Here goes:

Yogi Tea is also available in pre-mixed packages and in tea bags. Yogi  Bhajan says about the tea, " If you take a really good amount of Yogi tea, it will keep your liver very well. It is said to help the liver.  And when we started in the sixties, people who had drug habits, who couldn't even move, we put them on Yogi tea.  Yogi tea is actually a combintation of foods.  It is a tonic to the nervous system.  It can help to balance your system when you are feeling out of balance.  It has been used often as a remedy and a preventative measure colds, flu and diseases of the mucous membranes. 

• Black pepper is a blood purifier. 
• Cardamon is for the colon.  Together they support the brain cells.
• Cloves help support the nervous system. 
• Cinnamon is good for the bones. 
• Ginger helps strengthen the nervous system and is very good if you have a cold, flu, physical weakness.

It can help women when they are experiencing menstrual discomfort, such as cramps of PMS symptoms. You can try making Yogi team with extra ginger when you are feeling a cold or the flu coming on.
