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

@jesfactsmon Hank, absolutely you can use my name. Don’t mind at all. I will do the same....use the tea when I start feeling the headache coming on. I figured I am do for one soon. It is worth a try. Who knows it maybe a combination of my brain healing and misalignment of my eyes. I can feel It when my brain makes new connections. It happened more often, of course, in the beginning. The headaches were twice weekly. Now I can understand why the doctors In the hospital gave me coffee daily to drink. It was OK because my blood pressure was low( thanks to my diet and exercise). At discharge I was given a prescription for a pain killer which I never filled. At home I thought the caffeine may have been part to blame for the headache. I did not make coffee a habit in order to avoid any caffeine withdrawal symptoms. I even tried hot black tea instead but, nonetheless it made no difference.

The herbal tea is worth a shot. It certainly has a lot of ingredients. Never tried those in combination. Glad Linda has found some relief through the tea. Beats the OTC pain killers. Good thing she cannot take them. I don’t use those either.

I believe barometric pressure can be the cause of many things. I never researched it. Years ago, my OBGYN doctor told me that most babies were delivered during a snow storm(it was winter then). I didn’t give that comment much attention but sure enough my daughter was born during a snow storm.

Thanks for her recipe. I will try it iced and let you know if it helps. Toni
