Olivia has set up a trolley in the canteen with a range of herbal teas.  Please try out a tea!
Some of the teas available are:

•Rooibos:  Known to help common skin concerns such as eczema, it is high in vitamin C as well as other minerals, rooibos has many health benefits.
•Raspberry Leaf: It is highly nutritious and especially beneficial for women as it helps balance hormones and is good for the skin.
•Ginger:  great digestive aid, ginger can be used to curb nausea, vomiting or upset stomach due to motion sickness.
•Milk Thistle and Dandelion:  both teas are gentle liver cleansers.
•Rosehip:   comes from the fruit of the rose plant and is one of the best plant sources of vitamin C.
•Cranberry:  excellent to drink down to help treat urinary tract infections because of the anti-bacterial properties in it that help cleanse the urinary tract from any harmful germs.
•Lemon Balm:  lemon balm is good at lifting your spirits, helps with concentration, and prevents nightmares in children when consumed before bedtime!
•Echinacea:  boosts the immune system which helps ward off illnesses such as flus and colds.
