Anyone know about this? I picked up some loose leaves from my health food store.

Wanted to paste this excerpt from the link I posted above.
GASTROINTESTINAL PROPERTIES
Perhaps the main area to benefit from Mate is the gastrointestinal tract. Reported effects range from immediate improvement in digestion to the ability to repair damaged and diseased gastrointestinal tissues. Constipation, acute or chronic, can easily be overcome through the use of Mate. Mate appears to work mainly by softening the fecal mass, but it also appears to stimulate normal movement of the intestines to some degree.

Sounds like a miracle worker  Did you find it in tea bags or just loose tea?

It's very mild. I like it a lot. There is a couple of different ways that this can be brewed (you can even do it in the coffee pot!) but I've yet to do anything beyond steeping like normal tea.
I haven't noticed any relief from bloating but I'm sick of fennel and peppermint and don't like ginger teas. It's a nice alternative.

I love the stuff! It has a great earthy flavor. I'm going back and forth between that and Red Tea (vanilla honey flavor). Have you tried it?

I tried the Yerba Mate in the tea bags with a little honey. I really liked it and NO jitters or upset tummy!!  The tea bags also come in Mint w/Yerba Mate but have not tried that yet. Anyway I can brew Heather's and then drop in a Yerba Mate tea bag. I'll try that tonight.
I have not heard of the red tea... do you have a website on that one?
Do you use the teabags or loose? Do you use one of those cool spoon/straws I've seen?
Off to the J.O.B.......  but I'll check back DUH!  LOL

The name of my red tea is Kalahari Highlands Honey. Really tasty!
I just use tea bags. Haven't found the straw thingy for the Yerba Mate. I do have a copper tea kettle that I use for my loose tea leaves. It works pretty cool.
