Situation: Somethings hurts.
Tea Time: If you can predict that something is going to hurt, then get the tea prepared beforehand. If you're already in pain, it's probably best to get someone to make it for you.
Tea Type: Soothing. I think, in this instance, a white tea is called for. Something mellow.
Good news - I'm not noticing the pain of the torn/strained muscle/ligament/tendon/whatever in my shoulder! Bad news - it's because my entire shoulder is on fire. I think I figured out how that Icy Hot (in my case, the generic) actually works - it causes so much pain you forget about what hurt before!
(Is it possible to overdose on this stuff? Seriously?)
Tea can also work by taking your mind off pain, but not with more pain. Rather, you concentrate on the soothing nature/rituals of tea to take the edge off things. I'm not sure it can do much for me at this point (burns! it burns!) but I do use it copiously for other minor aches and pains (which are so much more frequent these days...).
