Spring Time's a Coming!

It's getting to be spring! Especially in the beautiful Tennessee Valley where I live. Of course,, along with the beauty of spring, comes allergies!

Check out this information from adagio.com on the allergy fighting benefits of tea (helps in lots of other areas too!)


Tea is Good for You!
Hardly a week goes by without news of yet another research study confirming the health benefits of tea.

"Green tea shows promise as an allergy fighter."
"The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea, rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter. In laboratory tests, Japanese researchers have found that the antioxidants in green tea, block the biochemical process involved in producing an allergic response. Green tea may be useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens, including pollen, pet dander, and dust."

Thrifty Personal Uses For Vinegar

Vinegar is a thrifty addition to all areas of your household! Here are some personal uses:

• Used as a hair rinse, vinegar neutralizes the alkali left by shampoos.
• Make a remedy for age spots. Mix equal parts of onion juice and vinegar and use it daily on age spots. This will take a few weeks to work, just like its expensive relative from the store.
• Put a mixture of half vinegar half water in a spray bottle and spray on sunburn to relieve pain for quite while.
• To relieve a sort throat, use 1 tablespoon vinegar to an 8 ounce glass of warm water and gargle every hour.
• Soothe a bee sting by dotting the irritation with vinegar and relieve itching.
• Clean eyeglass lenses.
