Deb's Loose Leaf Herbals Now Has Single serve prefilled teabags of Better Body Blend and Pure Persimmon Leaf Tea

Yes I forgot to mention the other big news besides seeing my brother. Friday also saw the addition of two new loose leaf herbal tea products at Deb's Made In The USA Loose Leaf Herbal Teas . I have received so many emails from people interested in my loose leaf herbal green tea blends that say they are big herbal tea drinkers, but really like the convenience of ready to go teabags, with the same high quality ingredients inside as you see when you buy bulk loose. Often prefilled tea filters are dust and powder and leftovers, like ground stems etc... Not Deb's teabags though. Break one of these babies open and it is as pretty and green, and only crumbled just enough to get it into the filter.

I am now offering 30 packs of pure persimmon leaf teabags for a very reasonable price. I personally need to gain weight, as we all know from my blog, so I stick with the Better Body Blend, which has only a percentage of the blend as persimmon. Persimmon leaf has many many good aspects to it. For example lots of antioxidents, flavenoids and vitamin C. Another reason I persimmon leaf in my loose leaf herbal tea blend, that I started drinking during my cancer treatments, and it is believed to be one of the reasons it helps weight loss efforts, is that it promotes more and more regular bowel movements with a very mild laxative effect. This is important because people dealing with the pain of cancer often take narcotic pain relievers, which are constipating. So yes Persimmon leaf is an important loose leaf herbal tea ingredients in my humble opinion.  As far as pure persimmon leaf tea to support a weight loss regimen, and speed results without the jittery burn outs of diet pills many people do claim the studies are correct, that persimmon leaf tea can aid weight loss efforts.

The Better Body Blend comes in packs of 24, and they are loaded with the freshest of ingredients that are good for you. Mint and lemon balm to aid digestion and create a fresh citrus base that combines with the robust persimmon leaves which are tempered by the natural no calorie sweetness of stevia, crowned with a dash of honeysuckle and rose petals.

Stop on by, we are just a regular American couple, working hard to launch our site that is promoting a product we personally believe in to hold on to our now empty nest. It is so special when the children flock back home with the next generations, my precious grandchildren in tow, to ride the horses at gramma and grampa's, feed the chickens, go swimming, pick stuff from the garden...

Cancer has worn me down, but I am getting back up, and I really really would like to keep our little place. Kev and I have worked so hard here for over a decade, cleared the land, built the barn with our own two hands, set in the raised garden beds, built the chicken coop, planted the apples and peach trees and herb beds, and have our memories of the kids, and now grandkids. We are supposed to be the stable ones that everyone can come home to darn it. It is in God's hands, because I am trying as hard as I can.

Have a good day readers, and hope to see you over at Deb's Loose Leaf Herbal Tea.

Wow Can't Believe I let so Many Days Pass Without A Post

Seriously here it is Friday, and late at that, and I have not posted here since last weekend. Shame on me. I have been quite busy though, between doctors appointments and I am always doing something here.

I must admit this new pain in my throat has really been a cramp in the butt, and of course the latest problem meant a rash of trips to Atlanta to see my oncology docs. They have put me on a round of antibiotics " just in case", since I insist on kissing my parrot goodnight and the horses good morning, and clean cat boxes and horse stalls, etc.... They have also scheduled another set of scans to include neck, head and chest. He said I was due for the scans anyway. While they do the scans they said they are also going to be looking for evidence of circulatory issues due to tissue damage from radiation treatments. All in all I hope they figure this one out soon. I really think going to be a circulatory issue though, using muscles, especially arms, aggravates. Tipping my head back, like when I am star gazing at night, I can feel the stretch pulling the skin and muscles really tight all the way down to my ribs. So I think It is going to be resolved through more therapy. Keep moving and using it.

This past week was also the last of persimmon leaf picking, and I am very happy with my stores I have set aside. Persimmon leaf is a very important ingredient in my teas. I will say this though, I have read that persimmon is useful to lose weight, which is the opposite of what I need. I need to gain weight. I continue to drop a pound a week, currently at 96. I think part of it though is that pain burns calories. I have a high pain threshold, so often I just keep doing what I am doing. The more I do the more it hurts, until it reaches a point I have to take a pill to get relief. Dr. Saba said I was right and it does, but just the same I am going to try a little experiment. I am going to cut back on my persimmon leaf in my tea, and add more to my husbands. He needs to lose a few pounds, it could be an interesting experiment. Although Kev certainly won't be dieting. It's hot summer and when he is off work, he likes to have a few beers while he works around here, lol. But we'll see, if he loses and I gain:)

Big day tomorrow, going riding again. We plan to be saddled up before it gets too hot tomorrow, and IF a certain someone who will remain nameless can manage to take a few pictures w/out banging the poop out of my poor old camera that would be very nice.

This is Earnie (Earnhardt's Proverbs) The one I rode last week, this week I want to get on Jake :)
