chamomile tea - good or bad?
I have a mild anxiety attack disorder and lately, I discovered Chamomile tea, as prescribed commonly for relaxation. I've tried drinking it very light, for a few days now and I find my body adjusting well to it. However, I read in one of the reviews for Kushi's book "The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health" that herbal teas like chamomile is best avoided. Why is that? I used to take kukicha but since it has (albeit very little) caffein, my body didn't react well to it (my panic level shot up).
What else can I take for tea? I've taken barley tea before but doesn't that have a cooling effect on the body? I binged on half an apple, a slice of pomelo daily for last week, and when I ate fried tofu cheese my tummy ached and I had a bad case of gas. I'm afraid that taking barley tea would further cool my system.
Help!
