Roswitha,
For the exact brand names I couldn't tell you but these are commonly used teas in Turkey and their uses:
Rose Hip teas are used for relief from influenza-type infections, prevention and treatment of common colds, diarrhea, sore throats and stress. It is also a good source of Vitamin C
Peppermint teas are known for the ability to fight colds, provide relief from bronchitis and chronic gastritis, sooth upset stomachs and aid in relieving indigestion. It's also used to relieve headaches and morning sickness. (I used it for morning sickness and it worked better than conventional medicine!!)
Chamomile for its anti-microbial properties, calming and relaxing effects, ability to reduce inflammation and counteract flatulence. It also has mild analgesic effects. For tired eyes, they apply a cool, damp chamomile tea bag directly over the closed eye. (it works really well for my jet lag)
Sage has traditional uses as an antibacterial champion against the common cold as well as for calming upset stomachs and aiding indigestion. It's also taken to relieve the pain of sore throats. It has a mild diuretic effect.
Linden Blossom teas are used in Turkey for relief from chills, fever, headache, common colds and upper respiratory problems (mucus congestion of the respiratory passages) and for hypertension. Also to increase the flow of digestive secretions.
Hope this helps.....

Off the topic:
Are we not supposed to use capital letters in postings? The admin people told me that's a rule here.
I was immediately reminded after I had posted something in capital letters...
I wonder why your posts can still be posted...
