Not really menopausal but as I haven't been drinking before / after my hysterectomy I discovered a herbal tea called Rose Lemonade by Taylors (hope I'm.allowed say that ) its the nicest herbal tea ever and the scent is amazing.
Give it a go if your looking for a change 😊

Hello walking the dog.
Sounds lovely! I like green tea and have tried other herbal teas with varying degrees of success also I have just started to make turmeric tea as this spice is known to be anti inflammatory. Anything and everything is worth a try in my book!
Take care.

Turmeric is certainly the spice of choice these days. We've used it in curries etc. for years, biggest problem is it turns everything yellow :D

I'm doing fine so far thank you clkd. Tumeric tea sounds very interesting Kathleen, yes try anything if it brings relief, I once told my GP she could stamp on my toes if she thought it would help !

On the subject of turmeric, last year I injured my shoulder quite badly (overdoing it in the gym). I refused to take the Naproxen that my GP prescribed. I struggled with this injury for a good 6 months, struggling even to brush my hair. Finally a friend suggested turmeric. A few weeks of freshly made turmeric tea (root grated into hot water) and my shoulder was fine. Maybe it healed naturally, maybe it was the turmeric. I think its always worth trying these natural remedies. I am very lucky here in North London. My local Turkish supermarket has a supply of root turmeric which costs about 20p a piece.

Not seen it in root form, we buy it in powder - if Nature was given a helping hand ? ;-). Don't knock it.
