Detox tea with Indian Sarsaparilla

-
Start with good quality water. Water that has not been chlorinated is best. Spring water. However if that is not available then take a large glass container or water and leave it out in the sun and the moon for a few days so that it picks up the vibrations of Nature and the chlorine evaporates. I usually do a gallon at a time.

Take 1 litre of Spring Water add 4 pinches of Indian Sarsaparilla ( this is a perfect dosage measure - larger fingers bigger pinches) then add 1/2 teaspoonful of Coriander seed and 1/2 teaspoonful of Fennel seed. I keep a jar of coriander/fennel equal quantities and then just 1 teaspoonful of the mix. Boil this for 2-3 minutes and pour into a thermos with a mint teabag or a few leaves of fresh mint if you have some in the garden.

Sip this through out the day. I usually drink a cup at breakfast and then another mid morning and mid afternoon and sip whenever I remember. Then what I don't finish by suppertime I pour out and make a fresh batch the next day.

Indian Sarsaparilla helps detox the fat tissue without heating up the liver. So if you find that you are not loosing fat or holding cellulite this might help. This herb also re-establishes the intelligence of metabolic transformations of fat the deeper tissues, starting with bone. It also reestablishes the intelligence of the auditory system, and purifies the ear discharge or wax.

Coriander moves toxins out through the kidneys and fennel supports digestion and cools the liver.  Mint carries the herbs to their destination.

This is a wonderful tea and I have had great success with this tea helping people with all kinds of problems. My favourite success story was of a young woman who was having 12 bowel movements a day and the doctors were not able to give her a conclusive diagnosis. After drinking this tea for 2 weeks she was down to 2 normal bowel movements a day.  When toxins overwhelm our system and the liver tries to expel them through the bile, then the bile with a load of toxins irritate the lining of the intestines and we get more frequent bowel movements trying to release those toxins.

From Drugs to Herbs

 I have been writing this blog for several years and realized that some people are now reading it that might not know me. Here is my story. My story as a healer started early in life. At 15 my first job was as a care aide for retarded children. Then working at children's hospital in Winnipeg as a pharmacy student and after graduating as a Hospital Pharmacist working in large teaching hospitals in both Winnipeg and Ottawa. Four years into my career as a hospital pharmacist I had a rude awakening at work one day. As I was handing a large bag of medications to a man, I looked at him and in that moment "saw" that his mind and the stress in his life was the root cause of his "dis-ease".  That led me on a journey of studying psychology, becoming a teacher of The Transcendental Meditation Program and eventually getting a Master's degree in education from Maharishi International University.  I continued working as a community pharmacist and expanded my scope to incl

To Drink or Not to Drink Milk

  To drink Milk or Not to drink milk? ......That is the question. Milk is considered a nectar in Ayurveda.   It is the loving fluid coming form the mother’s blood carrying immunity and nourishment to the offspring   - whether cow, goat or human or whatever.   When we drink milk within 24-48 hours it nourishes all our deepest tissues. All other food that takes 30 days to reach the deepest levels of our physiology. In other words, to make Ojas or all the neurotransmitter and hormones that are essential for intelligent communication and transformation of all tissues, takes 30 days.   Yes, you heard me. What you eat today is not fully assimilated for about 1 month, whereas milk is assimilated within 2 days.   That is why it is considered a nectar. However there are certain rules around drinking milk.   Firstly the source must be of good quality.   The cows have to be well treated. The individuals caring for the animal but treat it with kindness and respect.   They do not take the baby calf

Detox Soup

Harsh detox protocols can be very dangerous and many modern day toxins are "hot" or can burn the delicate fine channels of elimination in the kidney and other tissues.  Shaka Vansiya Ayurved teaches that there are 4 categories of toxins. Ama or undigested food that is sticky and cold and we need hot spices to eliminate this type of toxin. So ginger and pepper and fenugreek and other heating spices would work well. However once that toxin has been sitting around for a long time it becomes hot.  We might call it a "free radical" in modern scientific terms. Shaka Vansiya Ayurved (now referred to as SVA) calls this Amavisha.  This type of toxin needs a different approach to detox. Before moving the toxins out of the body we need to bind them with mucilaginous food like barley, okra, tapioca, arrowroot, taro root and others.  I find zucchini and other summers squashes are most readily available, even though they are not extremely mucilaginous.  Then you can start moving
