Wow, this stuff is hard and sad, but it's good too.

One comment:
“I will make tea,” she said. “You must stay hydrated.”

Tea DEhydrates. All tea does. Water hydrates.

Thanks!

I always thought that tea dehydrated, but recently it found out that it does not, and certain teas are actually very good for you. Drink up! /tea lover

Oh, teas ARE very good for you! I take pau d'arco instead of other pain medications. However, I speak from experience, if I'm drinking tea, I have to drink more water.

Chamomile might not dehydrate as much, but there is a scientific reason that teas dehydrate: they are saturated liquid. Some herbal combinations won't dehydrate as much because they're both not as saturated and because the body can extract the water. But tea plants and definitely most of your stronger teas (incl. chicory, roiboos, bark teas, etc.) are also diuretic, which basically means, they dehydrate. Still good for you though!
