20th February, 2008: Tea to the Rescue
If you have ever had a sinus infection, you know how uncomfortable and painful it can be. You can feel dizzy and in general, pretty crummy. According to Dr. Grossman, Ear, Nose and Throat specialist and author of The Sinus Cure, tea can help. Sinus disease is caused when the cilia – very tiny “hairs” - in the nose and chest stop moving. Their purpose is to prevent bacteria, dirt and cancer causing poisons from entering the body by moving them out, acting like oars rowing at 16 strokes per second. One way to combat sinus problems, recommends Grossman, is tea in bed! By drinking hot tea before you get out of bed, the body gets warmed up and cilia movement is encouraged.
Now you have a good excuse to stay in bed with your tea before starting each day!
