Question
Hi i just wanted to ask if there are any side effects to green tea, i have recently started drinking the swan diet tea and i came out in a rash all over my body, i have searched the web for possible side effects but nothing suggests that a rash is a side effect from drinking such teas. The common side effect of insomnia i agree with and i assume its because of the caffeine content although i am not allergic to coffee as i drink it now and then. I have also tried the cho yung tea with only insomnia side effects and wondered if the oolong tea would be any good.

Answer
Not to my knowleged. I would use swiss water decafinated green tea. I live in the USA so not familar with your product.
Rash usuallly means the body is detoxifying and to work on the liver/colon.
I would find an herbalist locally to help you work with your issues as I am not familar with your produts in your conutry.

I carry a green tea product on my web site. You may be able to get it where you live.
