Rather than get into temporal issues or amaze people with youtube videos, I thought I'd share a bit of practice. Today is tea making day and I'm brewing up gallons of it. Rather than making six kinds of weak tea for specific uses I do the chinese thing and lump them together in a decoction (strong).
As all the ingredients are natural herbs I don't have to worry about overdosing people...their are however a few common sense caviats. Women who are pregnant or nursing, people with unknown allergies, taking maoi (antidepressants), sedatives or are allergic to sunlight should consult a doctor first....
I donate what I don't use to a domestic violence shelter, a detox clinic and the local methadone clinic. It has manifold uses which include.
Manic-depressive symtoms opiate withdrawl insomnia muscle and nerve pain crack overdosing, meth too
It doesn't seem to help with alchoholism issues except during the withdrawl period.
I did not invent this stuff, the Romans and Chinese were brewing it 2000 years ago and celling it an "Elixer of youth" I got the recipe while reading Paracelcus and again in a book on chinese herbal medicine. I brewed my first batch and OMG this stuff really worked! Localy it's known as "Davids ass tasting tea" a name well deserved. considering it's uses I thought the title appropriate. here's the deal...
1 gallon spring (Not distilled or tap)water
1/4 cup each cut and sifted herbs
St. Johns wort
Passionflower vine
Vervain
Skulcap
Valerian root lemonbalm Bring water to a boil then turn to low simmer 180deg. stir in herbs and hold at 180 for one hour, covered. set aside to cool for eight hours, strain through a fine sieve and refrigerate.
8oz is a dose. 32oz is a treatment so 4/eights a day is about the theraputic limit, your body just won't process anymore. if your in for the long haul (I am) taper down to 8 oz per day don't skip more than two days and then take the missing doses. This tea does nothing but
