I didn&#8217;t know what <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Triphala\">Triphala<\/a> was and had to google it. Apparently it&#8217;s used in\u00a0Ayurvedic medicine. It&#8217;s supposed to help with weight loss, boost immune system, and relieve gastrointestinal issues. I also didn&#8217;t know what Chickweed was. &#8220;People take chickweed for constipation, stomach and bowel problems, blood disorders,\u00a0asthma and other lung diseases, obesity, a vitamin C deficiency disease called scurvy, a skin condition called psoriasis, rabies, itching, and muscle and joint pain. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins-supplements\/ingredientmono-622-chickweed.aspx?activeingredientid=622&amp;activeingredientname=chickweed\">source<\/a>)&#8221; I have to admit, I was intrigued by the psoriasis mention&#8211;I do have psoriasis and I was curious about whether the natural herb could help. It would be nice to go the homeopathic route someday instead of relying on medicine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7723.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46691\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7723-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7723\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7723-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_7723-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How was the tea?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a fan of green tea, unless it&#8217;s flavored. If it&#8217;s just straight green tea I can&#8217;t drink it&#8211;I&#8217;ve tried and just haven&#8217;t gotten used to it. The flavor in this was not overpowering and didn&#8217;t taste like green tea, which was a bonus for me. What I tasted most was the hibiscus, but it wasn&#8217;t a super strong flavor. It was nicely balanced.<\/p>\n<p>I drank the tea mid-morning to stave off hunger. I liked that it helped with that and it made it easier to go a little bit longer in between breakfast and lunch. I had a big, steaming cup around 11am at work one day and it took me awhile to drink it, and that kept me from snacking on junk that&#8217;s around the office.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/tea.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46726\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/tea.jpg\" alt=\"tea\" width=\"567\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/tea.jpg 567w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/tea-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now for the fun part!<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">GIVEAWAY<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Buddha Teas has offered to give one of my readers a sample of their tea!
