I could be so lucky..:/ My mother passed away last fall and while she was
ailing I was keeping watch at her bedside...anyway, while I was going
through all that, I began to get very irritated eyes, very dry and also I've
been sneezing something awful. And I drink green tea all the time.

On the other hand, all this could be much worse if I hadn't been drinking
tea. I haven't had the flu this winter, and I only had one small cold.
So...who knows. I drink it for the enjoyment anyhow, health benefits are
icing.

But the upshot is that I've noticed myself with a group of basically stress
related immune problems over the last six months that are slowly slowly
getting better. But I don't know that the tea is helping or hurting.

(Dermatologist has me on antihistimines. They work to a point but...make me
groggy....::yawn::...
