A cup of tea can lift your mood and help you to relax.  It is a great way to socialise and converse with others.  It is often during having “a cuppa” that we speak about our problems and matters that are concerning us.  Generally, tea can help to comfort in times of worry and stress.  Teas come in many forms black, green, fruity and various herbal varieties.  In the winter ginger tea can warm you up and in the summer ice tea such as lemon can be refreshing.  Although black teas are more popular but it is herbal infusions that have the most health benefits and have been renowned for their healing properties worldwide.

It is still surprising to me how many people still just do not drink sufficient water throughout the day which is fundamental to our whole body system and health. Before a client can have massage treatment I go through a consultation form with them and there will always be a section on diet and fluid intake.  I have heard every reason why someone is not drinking enough water from “does fizzy drinks count” or “water is boring” to “if I drink too much I need to go to the toilet more often”.
