My daily cuppa is Good Earth's Good Night tea.
I also really like Kalahari's Earl Grey Red Tea and am madly in love with Yogi Tea's Redbush Chai.

It gives me less of a headache than other chamomille brands, plus it feels great in my tummy.

I will have to try to see if I can find this. I get headache's too, from celestial seasonings chamomile. I drink it anyway and just take stuff for my headache. Why do you think we get headaches from it?? Is it an allergy?? I can't live without the chamomile tea, so I just deal with the headaches.....

Yep, if you have hay fever allergies you'll get one to chamomille. I do the same thing as you! I take half a benedryl to counteract the chamomille headache. The organic ones hurt my head more than some of the others. The Tetley one is hard to find, so when I buy it I buy a lot of it so I don't run out. It hardly gives me any headache at all!!
I totally can't afford to cut more drinks out of my diet since I can't do dairy, fruit juices or caffiene!   I love my chamomille!!

Doesn't benadryl hurt your tummy?? OOOH, it does mine. I tried to take it a couple of weeks ago and it triggered a pretty mean D attack. I guess because it upset my stomach.......I cannot give it up, either! I know exactly how you feel. I looked for the Tetley chamomile on ebay and it's not there so now I KNOW it's going to be hard to find. If I can't find "IT" on ebay, it's virtually impossible to find!! LOL!!
I will search the net and see if I can find it online, anywhere. I don't think my grocery stores have it.
Thanks for letting me in on that "secret"!!! I love chamomile tea!! I would love it even more if it didn't give me such a killer headache!

Benedryl doesn't hurt me at all. Stuff like sudafed and tylenol sinus (which both contain the ingredient in benedryl) mess my stomach up, tho. I totally couldn't live without my enedryl... I've been relying on it a bunch now that the weather is cold and my asthma is flaring up. It really clears up my lungs big time!

That's good that you can tolerate it, then. I use Flonase for allergies. It's like $65.00 a month, but it doesn't mess up my stomach cause' it goes up my nose! LOL!! It really doesn't bother me like I thought it would. It smells like roses, so it's tolerable.

I was starting that Well....out to be a different thought! I was GOING to say "Well, maybe I should give it another shot since I only tried the Tylenol PM (it has the same ingredient as Benadryl)and it's a heck of alot cheaper than my Flonase. Do you think I might be able to tolerate it, even if I can't take the Tylenol sinus and Tylenol PM?? That's soo interesting!!
Sorry, I looked at the title and said OOOOPS!!! I didn't finish that thought. I went on to something else....
*HUGS*!!

Have you tried Rooibos tea? It's very good and it might not give you the headache.
