Recipe for disaster
Recipe for disaster <> 10/30 10:14:50
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 taste bad for about one in ten people...I don't know why but I suspect some form of substance abuse/denial problem that I can't see.
While your brewing, meditate on this...Does my vote count more than the money I spend and where I spend it?

(Sigh) Your talking about making a cup of tea, make mine an Earl Gray (hot) one lump oh and milk please!
Did you know lavander flowers make a fantastic deep purple tea, which is mildly analgesic if you have a migraine and that if you brew purple tea from it, adding lemon juice will turn it bright pink!
