People forget that tea is a living breathing evergreen Camellia sinensis. In the sandy, rich somewhat acidic soil of the southern United States, gardeners grow tea shrubs as ornamentals that can reach three to six feet tall along hillsides and walk ways. In the fall, the small white flowers give off a delightful fragrance. After three years you can harvest tea leaves and small leaf buds from your garden, green house or large pot and process tea without chemicals.
This year’s cold and flu season threatens to outdo last year’s sore throat, cough, fever, and chronic asthma, which became so widespread we nicknamed it The Mother of All Colds. Now is the time to protect yourself and family from catching and spreading it. Psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) and traditional Asian herbal doctors agree: Clean up your act by eliminating congestion and germs, and you are safer from colds and flu. Cayce recommended fasting, purging, and sweating treatments to reduce excess mucus and improve breathing and digestion. These may be weakening for people who are run-down, tired, and stressed. However a few adjustments in your diet and herbs can accomplish similar protection.
