Constipation Tea

Constipation Tea

Constipation is often caused by E. coli and Salmonella from
dairy foods, or from killing “good” bowel bacteria with antibiotics
(killing a few by zapping actually restores good flora). Eat
foods that restore the body's good bowel flora: vegetables, sterilized
milk (the milk sugar is essential), lots of water.
There are a lot of remedies for constipation, but many people
enjoy this tea:
1 tbs. senna tea leaves
½ tsp. mint leaves
Boil for one minute in a quart of water, add a dash of vitamin
C and brown sugar to taste. Sip through the day to avoid “bellyache”.
It can take years for the body's flora to “right themselves”
after an antibiotic session, be patient.
Weight Reduction
Here are two ancient herbal recipes for obesity. I have not
personally determined their effectiveness.
Fucus
2 oz Fucus vesiculosus, cut (see Sources)
3 cups cold tap water
Boil for 15 minutes, covered. Cool. Dose: ¼ cup four times a
day on an empty stomach. After one week increase dose to ½ cup.
You may add any flavoring desired.
Watch the pot carefully as it comes to a boil. If it boils over,
you will have a month of stove-cleaning to do. The odor of Fucus
boiling is wretched. So is the taste. Maybe garlic (fresh)
would improve it.
Fennel
1 oz fennel seed (crushed or powdered is fine)

3 cups cold tap water
Boil water, pour over herb. Steep 30 minutes. Strain. Add 4
oz honey (optional). Drink one cup each day.
You could take them both together, along with the Bowel
Program, to be more successful, but the best single weight reducer
is the Liver Cleanse.
