Hi Hank, I learned something new today! I get headaches because of my healing brain. Thankfully, the occurrence has decreased through the years. The headaches started at twice per week and now I am down to monthly. A bag of ice was my only known remedy after many different attempts. Thank you to you and Linda for the tea link. I will give it a shot. Does she drink it daily or only when she suffers a headache? I am glad you are an advocate for yourself and Linda to do all the research in finding answers. I will ask you for any advice through your experiences. I feel I have many friends through Connect and am fortunate to have met everyone. I will continue to offer any helpful advice through our wonderful avenue of technology. Wish you both well! Toni

Thanks for mentioning your name Toni. I'll use it from now on if that's okay.
Linda drinks the tea at the time when the headache becomes a nuisance. Here is how she makes it and uses it:
It comes in one bag. Steep 1/2 bag in a slow rolling boil of about a quart of water for about an hour and a half. That makes a concentrate. She adds some, like an ounce, two or three to a cup and fills rest with water and microwaves.
The tea works almost immediately to cut the pain. It's the only thing we have found for her to cut the headache down at all (she is allergic to all OTC pain killers). It doesn't get rid of it, just makes it tolerable.
Hope you find good luck. This tea has a lot of different stuff in it. The Shifa company is a small one in NYC, and if you go to their own website they show all the different teas they make. Some really interesting kinds, though we have not yet tried any others.
Best, Hank
