..better than alcohol..??

Had some herbal teas brought in yesterday. An hour before bedtime made a
glass of camomile with two bags let stand 5 mins.. sipped it whilst

Yuck, yuck I hate the taste of Camomile tea, horrid stuff but if it helped
you sleep then it can't be all bad.

few years ago... Then gradually g used to the aroma, which actually started
to like.. The rest followed. (Oh, I forgot to mention I popped a half-spoon
of honey in last night's)

Rabbit...

I like the smell, I used to grow it ( in fact there's still some keeps
appearing many years later in odd corners it was never planted near) I just
can't take the taste of the smell.To me it's like when you are standing near
somebody with too much perfume/aftershave and you actually taste it.

I can't stand the taste or smell of chamomile either - ick, wish I could
stomach it tho as I would love to have such a good night's sleep as Marg
did:)

Have you ever tried Lapsang Souchong tea? reminds me of when I used to go
camping :-)

Rabbit...

Tried that once but like Earl Grey ( and the other samples I tried) decided
to stick to Tetleys :-)

Both bitter and teabags I presume! ;)

Rabbit...

Just the tea thank you :-)

I didn't realise you could get de-caffeinated teabags these days:

Rabbit...

There's been decaffeinated tea in ASDA for a long while now

glancing through old flower catalogue. Took no pain-killers.. Slept from
midnight right through to seven.... How's that, then.??? OH had Apple and
Ginger - he seems brighter this a.m.

We sometimes have Earl Grey here - quite like it but have to be in the
mood for it lol

Sounds like I might give that a try.
I've only ever used camomile for washing my hair! That was when I was little
and my Nan insisted it would stop me losing the fair tints. I should have
used it more!!

I's love to try something like that, Marg, but I'm safer not drinking
anything after about 8pm. I'm a bit wobbly on the old pins if I get up in
the middle of the night:))

Glad you had such a good nights sleep Marg, those herbal teas can be very
helpful.
I just wish they did not mix too many other things in with their fruit teas!
