G I N G E R R O O T T E A Ginger root has been an old-time favorite for nausea, morning sickness, and motion sickness. It is delicious made with honey and fresh lemon juice. You can purchase ginger root at almost EVERY grocery store in this country! It keeps for quite a long time in the refrigerator. Grate from a fresh root and simmer for a few minutes. Add honey and lemon to taste. If the weather is hot, ginger root tea can be served at room temperature. Do not serve it cold, as cold liquids are irritating to the system and will further agitate nausea. For extreme cases of nausea, ginger root powder can be encapsulated and taken throughout the day.

G I N G E R / P E P P E R M I N T T E A Follow instructions for making Ginger Root Tea. After the ginger root has simmered for a few minutes, remove from the heat and add one teaspoon of peppermint per cup of tea. Cover and let mixture infuse for ten minutes. Strain. Sweeten with honey if desired.

P E A C H L E A F T E A Use 4-6 tablespoons of the herb mixture per quart of water. Add herbs to cold water and over a low heat, bring to a simmer. Remove from heat immediately and infuse for twenty minutes, keeping pot covered. Strain.

B A N C H A C O M B O Simmer one minute, let cool, and sip slowly. Umboshi plum paste is specific for nausea and upset stomach. All of these ingredients are found in natural food stores.
