Question 2

is it safe to drink chai or green tea or chamomile tea while taking prozac (fluoxetine). also is it ok that i take motrin for pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes ... Prozac is not contraindicated with Motrin or tea.  Although the combo together does increase the risk for a GI ulcer - so if try to minimize the use of Motrin as much as possible.  If you need a chronic NSAID therapy, Celebrex (celecoxib) is safer on the GI system.  Hope that helps &amp; that you feel better!

Question 3

can i drink black tea, chamomile, peppermint, green tea, and those sleep teas if i take elavil 10mg for sleep at night? please advise me if i should avoid. thank you?

Accepted Answer

T and Elavil : It is perfectly safe to drink the teas that you mentioned and take Elavil at night. Usually the dose of Elavil that is used for sleep is quite low and the affect of sedation by the Elavil allows a person to go to sleep more easily and to stay asleep through the night.

Question 5

i don't like green or chamomile tea.so is it alright to have normal milk tea during pms and period?

Accepted Answer

Any tea is: ok but I would avoid putting milk in tea.  It kills the beneficial ingredients of the tea.  Sugar, as you probably know, is never good for you.  Consider drinking jasmine tea.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

can i be allergic to chamomile tea?

Accepted Answer

Chamomile: Although allergic reactions are very rare, chamomile tea has the potential to trigger reactions in people who are allergic to related plants such as chamomile, celery, ragweed, daisies, marigolds, or chrysanthemums.

Question 7

what are the benefits of chamomile tea?

Accepted Answer

Benefits of chamomil: Although best known as a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic, chamomile is also believed to have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory capabilities. The plant's healing properties come from its daisylike flowers, which contain volatile oils (including bisabolol, bisabolol oxides a and b, and matricin) as well as flavonoids (particularly a compound called apinegin) and other therapeutic substances.

Question 8

how to tell if i am allergic to chamomile tea?

Accepted Answer

Allergic: People with ragweed allergies can experience paradoxical reactions when using chamomile to help with sleep. It could cause itching or rash if allergic. If there is swelling of lips, tongue or airway or difficulty breathing - that requires immediate medical attention.

Question 9

how long can chamomile tea stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

Tea effects: I don't know that any one has really measured the metabolism of constituents in chamomile; there are multiple ones that are probably active.  If you're using this for a medicinal purpose (indigestion, relaxation, etc) you may make a strong tea & use it 3-4 times a day.  It is safe unless you're allergic to compositae (the botanical family it belongs to.).

Question 10

is it possible for chamomile tea to affect the way st john's wort works?

Accepted Answer

St John's Wort: St John's Wort is used for Depression.
Chamomile Tea is used for relaxation.
It is suggested that German Chamomile and St. John's Wort should not be taken at the same time. If they are used together and sedation increases to an unsafe level, either German Chamomile or St. John's wort or both may need to be stopped.
Do Breathing and Music Relaxation, Yoga, Meditation
