Many of you have probably seen these at some point, whether it be in a health store or someone drinking out of one. Usually these gourds are filled with yerba mate tea leaves, and one can simply stick the bombilla (straw made from bamboo or stainless steel) and drink. Mate is a great coffee alternative, as the stimulation does not affect the nervous system. You will get a mineral filled energy “buzz” but will not have a crash or a gittery feeling. Drinking from the bombilla directly allows for ultimate mineral absorption.

I do not just limit my gourd use to mate. Since I am very strong on herbal medicine, I will fill my gourd with many different herbal formulations and drink it in the same manor. It is a great way to drink your herbs and get everything they have to offer!!

It is a rather inexpensive way to drink your teas and get the full benefits!

Here are some links where I buy mine. I prefer the stainless steel straws over the bamboo, as they last much longer and tend to not get clogged.

PARASITE MADNESS!!! January 9, 2012

So its that time of year where we are all cleansing and ridding our bodies of last years toxins! My number one cleansing tip to you is to DRINK A TON OF WATER! Most people are very dehydrated, and if your cells do not have the proper amounts of water they have no way of flushing out… you will be keeping all those toxins inside!

Besides flushing out our bodies, we need to kill parasites as well. Parasites are little worm like creatures that live in your digestive system. They eat your food and cause major havoc in your body. Symptoms of parasites are:

-Cravings for white bread, flour, and sugar

-Cloudy mind

-Tiredness

- Never feeling full

-Always hungry

-Waking up around 2 or 3 am and feeling scratchy (this is when they are laying eggs)

So how do we get rid of them? Its easy. Just follow this recipe!

Ingredients:

-Wormwood (loose herb)

-Cloves (not ground)

-Black Walnut Tincture

-1 qt Purified or Spring Water

Brew 2 tablespoons of wormwood and 1 tablespoon of cloves in 1 quart of water. Steep it for 20 minutes and strain. Add 3 drops of Black Walnut Tincture.

Day 1: Drink 2 cups of tea

Day 2: Drink 3 cups of tea

Day 3-6: Drink 4 cups of tea (one full quart)

It is important to not miss a cup, and it does not need to be drank all in one sitting. It is quite bitter, but DO NOT add sweetener!

You should see parasite coming out by the second or third day, they will look like corn, grains of rice, or worms. You can drink a cup of this tea once a week for maintenance or drink a few drops of black walnut twice a week.
