The Random Tea Room & Curiosity Shop is good for what ails you
With flu season in full swing – and a new season of Downton Abbey underway, to boot – a nice warm cuppa doesn’t sound half bad. Studies at Harvard University have shown that consuming five cups of black tea a day quadruples the body’s immune defense system after just two weeks. Green tea, too, will bolster your health. Kick the nasty from the back of your throat with three daily shots of antioxidant-loaded mean green.
The Philadelphian temple of remedial elixir is The Random Tea Room & Curiosity Shop (713 N. 4th St.) A sign bearing a comforting message – think “Come heal yourself” or “Healing herbs inside” – marks the spot.
The team inside will help you choose from forty worldly blends. Danielle Dwyer, holistic health student at the American College of Healthcare Sciences and wife of Pizza Brain’s Brian Dwyer, tells us she’s helped customers with whatever ails them, be it an upset stomach, a headache, or a stuffy nose. "The classic question right now," she says, "Is 'do you have anything that's good for sinuses?'"
Danielle explains the right tea should provide not only immediate relief, but also long-term support to the body’s systems (think digestive and respiratory). We’ll drink to that.
