What kind of tea do you drink to make you go into labor faster?
Raspberry leaf tea can help pregnant women go into labour quicker. Raspberry leaf acts as a muscle toner, strengthening the uterus and preparing it for birth.
However, it is very important to note that raspberry leaf tea should not be drunk before 32 weeks, as it can otherwise lead to premature labour and miscarriage.
Does the caffeine in coffee cause wrinkles?
Caffeine in itself does not cause wrinkles. The effects of dehydration from drinking coffee promotes the degeneration of tissue that causes wrinkles. You must always be sure when consuming alcohol or caffeinated beverages, to rehydrate with H2O. Applied topically, the caffeine in coffee can actually help prevent/improve wrinkles. Caffeine works as a stimulant as well as a vasodilator; by stimulating circulation and blood flow, caffeine encourages the breakdown of fat cells and widens blood vessels. This helps remove excess fluids, fat and toxins. As blood flow improves, the natural metabolic pathways of the body are stimulated and fat is burned. Caffeine prevents enzymes known as phosphodiesterase, which cause a break within cyclic AMP, from depriving the body of energy. Energy is used efficiently when phosphodiesterase is inhibited from breaking down the cyclic AMP. Intended for topical application only, as in creams and serums.

It's called All About Eyes - the RICH formula. It's by Cliniqu and is about $28/jar that lasts for 2 months. I get home, can't wait to take off my makeup and slop this stuff all over my eyes. It's dermatologist approved, so even when i get it IN my eyes (and i do!) it does nothing to irritate or cloud up - and I have contact lenses! I do not work for Clinique or any skin care line. I just really love this stuff.

In general, no, tea tends to have a stimulant, rather than sedative effects. Tea from the tea plant, including regular black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong, and Pu-erh, all contains caffeine, a naturally-occurring stimulant.
Different people react differently to caffeine though. In some cases, a small amount of caffeine can actually have a calming effect. Sometimes caffeine can even cause drowsiness, but these sorts of effects are unusual.
Tea does contain other chemicals though, including L-theanine, which has a relaxing effect. The process of drinking hot fluids can also be relaxing, so it is possible that a pure tea or true tea, either one naturally low in caffeine, or when drunk by someone who does not respond much to caffeine, could have a mild sedative effects.
Herbal teas:
When it comes to herbal teas, on the other hand, there are a number of herbs that have sedative effects. These include chamomile, lavender, passionflower, valerian, and many others. Some are stronger than others.
Can you drink poision with tea and live?
I wouldn't trust this myth to put my own life on it. Poison is poison is poison, and I would think that the addition of tea would only help if one of the chemicals in the tea itself acted as an antidote to the poison. That said, think about this: tea made from hemlock was used as an execution method back in the greek days.
