substitute for green tea

Green tea has caffeine in it, desperate, so it can't be called a relaxant. You'd be better off with conscious breathing.

What is conscious breathing? How is it done practically? I think I won't drink green tea anymore I abused it for years, quite worried. Anyone with any idea like mentioned conscious breathing? What say you candid did I damage my body seriously by drinking green tea so much? Any dietary recommendation to help recovery, not a supplement dietary

It is really difficult to drink too much green tea

I drank it at enermous amounts much more than mentioned at article really worried if I damaged my body

Maybe go on drinking but less amounts

Can't reach a conclusion about effects of drinking too much green tea. Richards link says it's not dangerous but I drink much more than that it's scary Im drinking green tea for five years if something dangerous was to happen it already would. Right? Also I don't have any health disturbance other than intense anxiety. Don't know what to do

I suggest you try to go a few days without it and see how you feel. There are other herbal teas eg. chamomile that are more relaxing. Only snag is chamomile doesn't taste good. There are also fruit teas that probably don't do any good but certainly won't do any harm.

Conscious breathing is just sitting quietly and being aware of your breath. You'll probably find it gets deeper, and you can count six in, hold for six, breathe out for six, then nothing for six. It's a good way to calm yourself.

Chamomile is just an other substance that may stress my body from childhood o abused various substances like supplements teas etc this might have damaged my body I'm afraid try on conscious breathing an unstressed unforced relaxed breathing may do wonders indeed if I can achieve its like euphoria breathing exercises at a sunny day

Where are you getting your information? It would be almost impossible to DRINK green tea in such amounts it would cause kidney or liver damage. When you drink green tea it is mixed with large volumes of water.

Are you reading Internet articles about green tea extract?

So in simple words drinking green tea even in very large amounts but achievable amounts doesn't damage liver and kidney?. I thought it may be dangerous due to general sense. I haven't read anything about it just general sense. Also my knowledge about health issues is nearly zero. But everybody would think such excess green tea may be dangerous.

What do you mean excess, 2 gallons a day?

Not so much water 5 or 10 bags for a cup some days up to 7, 8 cups.It's scary isn't it? What health autorities say to this. I hope it hasn't damaged anything in my body, and green tea not dangerous in such amounts

Making it strong does mean large amounts of caffeine. How about you assume for now that no damage has been done, but take more water with it from now on?
