Wu Long Tea

   Posted by: admin

Whenever my parents took me to a Chinese restaurant.  I looked forward to the eggrolls, the fortune cookies, and the very tasty tea.  I never knew what kind of tea it was but for me it was a treat when we got to go the Chinese restaurant.  Later in life my mother-in-law happen to find a cute little teaset with some Chinese tea in China Town, CA.  The tea that came with the set was called Wu Long tea.  I opened it and drink wu long tea to loose weight, weight loss tea cnnfound just loose tea leaves and had no idea how to make it since I was use to boring old lipton tea in a bag.  It was not until my brother started drinking tea that I found out about loose leaf teas and tea balls and teapots designed for loose leaf tea.  So I bought a tea ball and tried the tea.  Surprise! It was the tea that I loved so much from the Chinese restaurants.  I started drinking a cup almost everyday and when it came time to buy more I had no idea where to buy Wu Long tea, especially since there is not a China Town near my home.  So I searched it online and found out so much interesting facts about my beloved Wu Long tea.  I discovered that it is also known as Oolong tea or WuYi tea.  The name it seems depends on the exact way the tea is prepared but that part I don’t follow as well since I don’t really know the different ways to prepare tea.  I also found out that Wu Long tea’s ingredients are like medicine for the body.  The most advertise affects of drinking Wu Long tea is weight loss or increased metabolism.  Which may explain why I was able to loose my pregnancy weight so quickly after my son was born (I fit into my pre-pregnancy pants only 6 weeks after my son was born).  It also helps increase energy and keeps the body and skin looking healthy.  And it has less caffiene than Green tea which seems to be more popular as a healthy tea, however, more caffiene is not healthier.  Apparently Wu Long tea has been used in China for years for medicinal use and only recently is taking the West by storm.  You can find variations of it everywhere, including a variety of flavors, although the regular flavor of it tastes wonderful.  The price range also seems to vary greatly.  There are some forms of the tea that are suppose to be the best because it allows more of the tea leaves properties to enter into the tea so you get more benefits.  Frankly, I think just plain regular Wu Long tea will do plenty still.  Anyway, I found one particular site (listed below) that had a lot of good information about Wu Long tea and its many medicinal uses.  That site has a yixing teapot, yixing teaseatlink to a great Chinese Herbal Tea store in which I think the price is right.  I also found a link to a really cool store for teapots and teasets.  There is apparently an orignial Chinese teapot called a Yixing Teapot that is suppose to help enrich your tea and is designed for loose leaf tea.  But putting those facts aside I thought the teasets looked really cool and I want a couple of the sets for myself. But I will have to choose one for now and get back to my drinking.  I hope you will enjoy this delightful tea too.

Natural Remedy for Stretch Marks

   Posted by: admin

While my son is a true blessing the stretch marks I received during pregnancy are not.  Now with summer just around the corner I am looking for a way to get rid of my stretch marks quickly.  However, with my sisters guidance I have started paying attention to what kind of chemicals I put in or on my body and am trying to use only natural remedies to treat my body.  The problem now lies in the fact that most skin care products have ingredients I can’t even attempt to pronounce.  So I had my work cut out for me when I decided to try and find a natural remedy to remove stretch marks.  I found many sites that had natural home remedies from rubbing vitamin E on the stretch marks or other simple remedies to complex ones that including blending together ingredients like vitamin E, vitamin K, cocoa butter, aloe vera, and other natural ingredients.  However, I have used the vitamin E rub on stretch marks I received from puberty but those stretch marks are still with.  They are lighter but still there.  As for the blender concoction I didn’t trust it.  I don’t really want to mix a ton of things together and see my skin turn orange because of some reaction.  So Irevitol stretch mark prevention cream had my work cut out for me but I did find a very nice site that offers a lot of information about natural removal options for stretch marks.  The site mainly focuses on natural stretch mark creams but has a little information on laser surgery and microdermabrasion, both of which don’t go under the "natural" category for me.  However, the site has lots of information about natural stretchmark creams including a list of common ingredients found in stretch marks and describes each ingredient in detail, offering which to stay away from and which are truely natural.  I have purchased Revitol Stretch Mark Cream based on this site’s recommendations and reviews although it does have information about other stretch mark creams too.  I will have to let you know how it goes although I am very optimistic.
