china berries

my husbands cousin is an herbalist and he suggested to hubbies mother to dry me some leaves from her chinaberry tree. (you can do this in the oven) she is being sweet and doing this for me drying, gathering and sending. when you have the dried leaves. you crush them up like oregano and make a tea infusion out of this( but NOT to drink) :P it is to be used to cover body and scalp to rid oneself of external paracites. it even purportedly kills headlice i imagine you would NOT want to get in eyes. you take tea infusion when cooled por over body and scalp or spritz and leave on for a bit then rinse off. I have not tried this yet but will let you know. appently he is good because he was on a t.v. show. well see. he also said the berries can be dried made into tea infusion and sprayed on plants to naturally kill pests. (id rinse produce though) . anyway thought was interesting and will be fun to try. i also told husbands mother to ask him next time she sees him what he would suggest for lyme disease. its nice at least although i am here alone to have such great folks who love me.

Herbs are wonderful. They are mother nature's natural cures. I think there is probley a cure for every disease in the world in herbs and plantlife. The problem is sorting throuh them all to find the cures.

i totally agree with you frankie. may or may not work. my husbands cousin is hiv positive so perhaps more of a driving motivation to look into herbology.thus, i will be a lil guinea pig and let folks know at least how worked for me and if gives any relief. i do believe in the treatent regimine on this site helps me to be more human.

i totally agree with you frankie. i forgot to mention my hubbies cousin is hiv posite so perhaps driving force to keep him alive all these years. thus i will be a happylil guinea pig and at least let folks know if it helps or offers any relief for me. do not drink this stuff or get in eyes topical only. however wanted to reiterate to folks that i belive in treatment regimine 100 percent it helps me to be more human ty.

Yes, michael - Ann is in my special prayers every day. She is a trouper, though so I have faith she can beat this. She is also very funny and witty!!!!!

i just want to say when the weather warms up and the trees regain their leaves, this plant can be quite a bit of help when it does, i will find the link to buy a tree and post it. it does prefer a warm climate, i think, but hey could do in a sunrrom with plantlights maybye. and if gets too big, try to plant outside get another one.
