Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer Herbal Tea, Caffeine Free, 20 Tea Bags Box (Pack of 6)

Love this tea, calming and great taste with a little honey.

This tea is great to help you relax. The combination of flavors in this tea is delicious. One of our favorite teas.

My favorite tea. Such a yummy blend and so relaxing. My kids absolutely love it with a bit of honey.

Love this stuff. Pricey but tasty and good to wind down before bed. Catnip in this?! Yes, really. Meow.

I initially bought this when I was going through some whacked out 'stress' and now I just buy it for the flavor. This really is so yummers with a bit of raw honey. The aroma is heavenly too! The ginger/citrus flavor is very comforting. From Celestial Seasoning's website: About the Tea A traditional ginger tea with a tranquil twist from chamomile, eleuthero and B-vitamins. 100% Natural This product contains all-natural herbs and flavors, and no artificial colors or preservatives. Ingredients: Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, natural lemon flavor with other natural flavors (contains soy lecithin), hops and Vitamins B6 and B12. ------ A little fascinating tidbits about "eleuthero" I found on the net: The constituents in eleuthero that have been most studied are the eleutherosides. Seven primary eleutherosides have been identified, with most of the research attention focusing on eleutherosides B and E. Eleuthero also contains complex polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules). These constituents may play a critical role in eleuthero's ability to support immune function. Eleuthero is an "adaptogen" (an agent that helps the body adapt to stress). It is thought to help support adrenal gland function when the body is challenged by stress. Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated products. Research has shown that eleuthero improves the use of oxygen by the exercising muscle. This means that a person is able to maintain aerobic exercise longer and recover from workouts more quickly. Preliminary research from Russia indicates it may be effective for this purpose. Other trials have been inconclusive or have shown no beneficial effect. Eleuthero may also support the body by helping the liver detoxify harmful toxins. It has shown a protective action in animal studies against chemicals such as ethanol, sodium barbital, tetanus toxoid, and chemotherapeutic agents. According to a test tube study eleuthero also helps protect the body during radiation exposure. Preliminary research in Russia has suggested that eleuthero may help alleviate side effects and help the bone marrow recover more quickly in people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. Eleuthero has been shown to be effective as a treatment for the common cold when combined with andrographis in a formula sometimes referred to as Kan Jang. Preliminary evidence also suggests that eleuthero may prove valuable in the long-term management of various diseases of the immune system, including HIV infection and chronic fatigue syndrome. Healthy people taking 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of tincture three times daily have been shown to have increased numbers of the immune cells (T4 lymphocytes) that have been found to decrease during HIV-infection and AIDS. Further human clinical trials are needed to confirm that eleuthero may be helpful for this disease. How to Use It Dried, powdered root and rhizomes, 2 to 3 grams per day, are commonly used. Alternatively, 300 to 400 mg per day of concentrated solid extract standardized on eleutherosides B and E can be used, as can alcohol-based extracts, 8 to 10 ml in two to three divided dosages. Kan Jang is a formula combining an andrographis extract with an eleuthero extract providing 2 to 2.4 mg eleutherosides daily. Historically, eleuthero is taken continuously for six to eight weeks, followed by a one- to two-week break before resuming. Kinda cool, eh? :)

Always has a fresh date. The smell is delightful when you open a box. Have ordered these for over a year now

Goddamnit I love this tea. Been drinking it since high school and it's still got me hooked. The tension tamer, tamer of my tension. I'll never let go.

This is my favorite Celestial Seasonings tea. I just wish they'd make an organic version.
