Natural Herbal Tea ~ Fatty Liver


In my list of herbal tea remedies, "herbal Tea Treatment" comes easily in preparation to brew varies in favor and choice of therapeutic effects. other than cooking medicinal plant and herbs, simmer a pot of “Herbal Tea” with flora tea, herbs and medicinal leaves which has been widely used in ancient time and among Chinese. Every sip of my herbs tea I think of its benefits and of course their side effect too.



With my daily routine and hectic work pressure, unwind with herbal tea brews in variety of blends accordingly to revitalize my physical body is set as habit. Make sure daily and regularly with a cup of delicious blend of favorite choices, place a pot of flora or herbal ingredients in infuser, brew with boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. Simple thing as that, then call it a day with wonderful brews of herbal infusion. It is simply comforting thought and indulgences….Tea Time!

Enjoy a day taking alternative healing herbs for health, and beauty not only by its pleasant aroma taste, also as a remedy for health disorders. Still it needs a proper healthy living, herbs and sufficient rest and exercise to stand a good chance of beating and safeguard to keep sicknesses at bay.

One of my friend used to tell me that sleep late will eventually suffer of Liver disease or sickness. I know my sleeping routine is bad partly due to my work. No doubt late sleep may affect my health in long term. Still I managed to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sufficient sleep for years. Moreover it’s not a problem to me I guess.

But in Chinese “meridian” circulation system said our body has a “circadian clock” from 1am to 3am that schedule to detoxify and process the debris from our liver. Since late sleep during that hour may cause damage to the liver. I Think I am forced to choose between earlier sleeping method and stop working late to start a regular routine for beauty and health sake. That I promised myself I will do so and need to make it as a good sleeping habit. First thing first, is to banish my TV, works and computer out of bedroom then.
Hopefully.

Liver is our body biggest organ. Maintain and protect our liver in good functioning and healthy is not easy. To prevent damages to our Liver, from awareness to prevention of taking the right foods, drinks and medicine plays an important role. Other than this,being overworked, irregular and unhealthy eating habits of junk foods, and stress may cause damages to our liver easily too. If eating too much of fatty foods, heavy drinking of alcohol, endocrine system disorders, obesity may also cause Fatty Liver disease.

Personally, however I prefer to use the some herbal raw ingredients that allow me to combine with other ingredients into different herbal infusion for different purpose. Some taste just nice, some actually very good to combat the heat in the body for flu and cold symptoms.

Like the combination Shan Zha herbal infusion I had mentioned about Herbal Infusion for slimming, beauty and menstrual cycle” earlier,

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes runs in my family is quite high. That’s what I always conscious about and taking care of. Usually herbal remedies with green tea extract have proven result in preventing development of fatty liver. On a regular basic taking herbal tea is considered as prevention to me. As far as health concern, prevention is always primary and important role played by. Better not regret later if without proper cares.
