What about Herbal Tea and The Word of Wisdom?

Source:  LDS.about.com

According to the Word of Wisdom which herbal teas are acceptable to drink?

A. The official LDS Church doctrine states that drinking tea is against the Word of Wisdom. Under the Gospel Topic of Word of Wisdom at LDS.org it states:

"The best course is to completely avoid the substances that the Lord prohibits in the Word of Wisdom."

But to clarifty, herbal tea is not against the word of wisdom, although we have been cautioned: "Some people enjoy herbal teas, but even these should not replace more nutritious drinks in the diet" (Lora Beth Larson, "The Do's in the Word of Wisdom," Ensign, Apr 1977, 46.)

The following types of tea made from the tea plant are NOT herbal teas:

· Black

· Green

· White, and

· Oolong

The ingredients for Dr. Miller’s Holy tea do not contain any of these plants!
