A natural remedy for headache.

It can happen. Even in the best of families....

To wake up in the morning, feeling like this. I do have the best remedy for returning to normal.  Boil a cup of water with a tablespoon of stick tea, also called 3 year tea , from Japan.  Add a pickled umeboshi and brake it into pieces. Drink it warm. You can easily find both in a well assorted health food store. Drink and enjoy ! The feeling of a squeezed head will soon disappear .

Umeboshi is a Japanese pickled plum, but actually rather an apricot. It is wonderfully salty and sour. Even if you are not used to the taste, go for it ! It balance the PH in the blood.


Kukicha, or twig tea, is so loved that it has many names. Go organic. It is a green tea and a blend of stems, stalks and twigs. It has also been dried for 3 years and after toasted. Kukicha tea has a lovely nutty flavor. The tea itself, can be used 3 times. Boil it in water on a low flame for the first time about 3 minutes, second time 6 minutes and the third and last time for about 10 minutes. Our family live on this warm drink during the winter season and in the summer it is nice to enjoy freshly chilled with some seasonal fruit. 


I am a Kukicha freak,
