mint – FemSide https://www.femside.com Your Feminine Side Fri, 01 May 2020 05:43:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.17 7 Herbal Teas that Every Woman Should Drink https://www.femside.com/health/diet-fitness/7-herbal-teas-that-every-woman-should-drink/ https://www.femside.com/health/diet-fitness/7-herbal-teas-that-every-woman-should-drink/#respond Tue, 13 Aug 2013 04:37:24 +0000 https://www.femside.com/?p=3219 Read More →]]> Drinking just plain black tea every day can be healthy for a woman. However, there are many herbal teas that can do more for her body than just plain black tea that comes from a supermarket. There are 7 herbal teas that can do the most good for a woman’s body, and here is more information about those teas.

Chamomile:

Chamomile is known as the tea that can help a woman go to sleep.

The tea comes from the Chamomile flower, and it is excellent source of magnesium, which can help soothe the body and the mind.

Raspberry Leaf:

For a woman that has a hormone imbalance, the best tea to drink is raspberry leaf. The tea can help restore the hormonal balance in a woman.

If a woman is pregnant, the raspberry leaf can be especially useful because it can make the uterus a lot stronger.

Mint:

If a woman is having issues with digestion, than mint tea is something she can try.

Mint tea is good for soothing the stomach and is a better treatment for indigestion than any antacid tablet.

If a woman is pregnant, mint tea can help prevent morning sickness and also take care of nausea.

Lavender tea:

Lavender tea has been known to soothe the nervous system. If a woman is prone to headaches, then lavender tea can take care of that reoccurring problem.

Lavender in any form can help a woman stay calm and relaxed.

Peppermint:

The best use of peppermint tea is to help a woman that has irritable bowel syndrome.

With irritable bowel syndrome, a woman may experience such symptoms as cramps in the abdomen, gas, and diarrhea.

Drinking peppermint tea can bring a woman relief from these symptoms, and also prevents them from occurring if she drinks peppermint tea at least two to three times a week.

Echinacea:

When a woman gets a cold, she may take Echinacea supplements. However, she may also have the option of drinking Echinacea tea.

This tea works well when a woman has a cold because Echinacea helps make the immune system stronger.

Also, if a woman already has a cold, then drinking the Echinacea tea can help alleviate the symptoms like coughing, sneezing, a runny nose, and a scratchy throat.

Ginger:

Another tea that can help with pregnancy morning sickness and nausea is ginger. If a woman is not pregnant, but can get very sick if she is on a plane or in a car, than ginger is the tea to drink.

Other than helping with stomach issues, ginger is also good for fighting germs. Ginger tea can be very strong, and some women use lemon and honey as a way to make the tea easier to drink.

Tea is good for a woman, but there are some teas that can help a woman with specific medical issues.

Whether its fighting irritable bowel syndrome, making the immune system stronger, or just helping with digestion, there are many herbal teas that can do more for a woman than just regular tea from a grocery store.

Battling Summer Bugs the Natural Way https://www.femside.com/health/healthy-living/battling-summer-bugs-the-natural-way/ https://www.femside.com/health/healthy-living/battling-summer-bugs-the-natural-way/#respond Mon, 12 Aug 2013 04:47:20 +0000 https://www.femside.com/?p=3225 Read More →]]> With the warm weather comes a variety of household pests such as flies, spiders, and ants. Not only are these creatures destructive, many of them carry diseases and can deliver a painful bite or sting. However, using pesticides around your children or pets is never a good idea, but there are several natural ways to repel bugs without having to worry about the effects of harmful chemicals.

Use Essential Oils

Ants use a chemical trail to let others know when they’ve found food, so the best way to deter them is by using strong odors that mask that scent.

Peppermint, cloves, and lemon used around doorways and windows are some of the best scents to use in order to keep ants out of your home.

Some of these oils can be found at your local aromatherapy store.

Sprinkle Spices

The strong scent of certain spices will also keep ants from invading.

Sprinkle pepper, garlic, or cinnamon around your doorway or patio to keep them at bay.

Crushed peppers will also turn them away, as they have a refined sense of smell and the scent will offend them.

Use Citrus to Repel Spiders

While some spiders are beneficial, others are dangerous and can deliver a powerful bite.

To keep them outside where they belong, spray citrus mixed with a few drops of dish soap and water.

Spray this mixture around doorways, baseboards, and in your basement to keep spiders at bay.

Got Flies? Use Mint

Houseflies are one of the most common and annoying pests that visit during the summer.

To keep them from spreading disease around your home, lay out some crushed mint near where they enter most often, such as doorways and windows.

They dislike the strong smell and will stay away.

Use Lemon Peels for Moths

While moths aren’t usually a big problem for some people, they can be destructive to certain kinds of clothing and fabric.

Like most insects, moths dislike the smell of lemon, so to repel them, use lemon peels in your closets and laundry room.

You can also use a mix of lemon juice and distilled water to keep them away.

Lemongrass and Basil for Mosquitos

Mosquitos are not only the bane of most summer picnics and barbeques, they can also carry deadly diseases such as West Nile and malaria.

To keep them away without having to use insecticides, use lemongrass, basil, and rosemary. They find the scents too strong and will not land anywhere near it.

Grow the plants where your family relaxes or even sprinkle some on the grill the next time your husband barbeques.

Wipe Out Roaches With Sugar and Baking Soda

Not only are roaches disgusting, they can carry a variety of diseases that are harmful to your family. To kill them, mix baking soda with sugar in equal measurements.

Set out small cups of this mixture where you have spotted the pests. The combination of these two ingredients will both attract and kill them all summer long.

Best Herbs For An Outdoor Herb Garden https://www.femside.com/home-garden/gardening/best-herbs-for-an-outdoor-herb-garden/ https://www.femside.com/home-garden/gardening/best-herbs-for-an-outdoor-herb-garden/#respond Tue, 30 Jul 2013 05:35:04 +0000 https://www.femside.com/?p=5530 Read More →]]>

Some women have a talent for cooking, and these women love to use herbs in whatever they cook. However, going to the store is one way to find herbs, but a typical market might not carry the herbs a woman loves to cook with. To make her life easier, a woman can try growing the herbs she prefers to cook with in her very own herb garden.

Basil:

A popular herb in Italy, basil is supposedly the herb of magical love powers. According to Italian legend, if a man gives woman a piece of a basil plant, the two will end up falling in love.

In different countries, basil is used for more than cooking, and there are many different kinds including lemon and Thai basil.
