Hi Iris,
Oh there are lots of different kinds and I drink a variety, but I do like the blends from Yogi. you have to just start trying them and see which one you like best.
We have even started using the teas as a medicinal. I found a couple that I like by Traditional Medicine, one's for colds, drink a couple of cups a day at the first sign of a cold and the symptoms are less and of shorter duration. Another is called Throat Coat, it is so nasty tasting, but it works. My daughter gets bad tonsillitis a few times a year, so she started drinking this stuff when she felt it coming on and it really will stop it from getting serious. There are teas to settle upset stomach and a lot of others I intend to try. I use honey and Stevia to sweeten mine. You can find them right in the grocery store with the reg. tea. I hope you find some you can enjoy.
mercy, peace and love

I have my family drinking water with a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar added.
If you do the research, you may see that Apple Cider Vinegar has some pretty extraordinary properties that are very beneficial to physical health and well being.

I've been digging deep to find the information on alkaline water which has led me to asking the question of who is it and how did these claims of alkaline water come from.
At first I knew the importance of pH in plants and compared us to them, but folks I stuck my foot in my mouth on that one.
Our body automatically adjust pH. Plants do not.
Arion you say the stick works for you. I believe you, but what I have found in researching the human body and all aspects of alkalinity is that we don't need it.
It seems that the claims about alkaline water has a long and big money trail. I'll add two links and let those make their own decision. Follow the links and you'll see for yourself.
I'm sorry, but like many out there I thought that high alkaline water was what we are to be drinking because we hear it all the time. I was wrong. Its all about money.These two links are just a start.

Roy,
The problem is due to environmental toxins, poor quality of food/overly processed foods and the generally poor health condition of most people that these systems are stressed and can't do the job properly. What is the proof? Most people are overly acidic so something is out of whack. The doctor treating Ray for his condition spoke at the conference and this is a short paragraph from his book in which he devoted a whole section to PH.
'There are nine different internal buffering systems to neutralize acids and balance PH in the body. However, if these nine neutralizing mechanisms are not working correctly and can no longer get rid of acids to balance PH, the excess acids will compromise the health, the cellular integrity, and the overall cell function. Shutting off the oxygen and nutrient uptake and disrupting cellular frequency for correct communication between the cells does this. This will eventually lead to complete metabolic and system breakdown which is where all our health problems start to manifest from the very beginning.'
Dr. Jimmy Steger
The nutrition factor
pg. 168
I have no doubt that there are many money making schemes and a lot of hucksters out there. Many of the alternative health things out there are nothing more than snake oil salesmen and multi level marketing stuff with the science either lacking or made up as they go along. Dr. Steger would probably say that doing cleanses and changing your diet will do more in the long run for you than drinking alkaline water as appropriate diet gives your body the raw ingredients necessary for the body to regulate itself appropriately. I see the alkaline water and the sticks as an 'extra' to boost you to where you need to be as most people are somewhat compromised in this area and one can do what Kat did and have your own PH tested and in her case she was pretty acidic as most of us are. Our internal buffering systems over time aren't getting the job done appropriately. Regardless, all I can testify to is how it's worked for me.
God bless and may He lead you always,
Doug
