 Green tea is made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Most of us know 
about drinking it for health reasons. Did you know that it can be 
used in other ways?
The leaf of the Camellia sinensis is used in making green tea. It has 
astringent properties and is full of vitamin C and vitamin E. Green 
tea has cancer fighting antioxidants and it helps boost your immune 
system. 
Other ways of using green tea are :
1. Skin toner. Use 1 bag of green tea to 2 cups of water (distilled), 
steep for 15 minutes, apply to face, do not rinse.
2. Hair Rinse. Make a strong tea and wrap wet hair in cloth soaked in 
the tea. Leave in for 20 minutes and shampoo. I like to add rosemary 
(my favorite scent) to the tea, for extra fragrance. Rosemary is good 
for dark hair. 
3. Foot Soak. Many herbs are good for this. I grow my own herbs and 
like to add some lavender or rose petals and sometimes sage to the 
green tea and let it steep for 20 minutes. Be sure you use a glass or 
enamel ware container for the foot bath. Soak in warmed tea mixture 
for at least 30 minutes. As it cools, add more hot water. This feels 
great.
4. A bag of black or green tea can be used on sore, tired muscles, or 
on tired red eyes.
5. If you have been sun burned, a cold cloth soaked in green tea is 
very soothing.
Green tea can be found almost anywhere. Every health food store 
carries it. Most pharmacies and grocery stores have it now also. 
Try green tea!

Ears-OLD WIVES TALES, SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS AND FOLKLORE

EARS While the superstition of burning ears dates back years, there is no real indication of where it came from. Many superstitions that still exist today date back to the medieval days and are often rooted in pagan religions or the church. In the case of the burning ears, it is said that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Now if you want to know if they are saying good things or bad things, remember this " Left for love, Right for spite! ". If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. Pinch your ear, and the person talking of you will bite his own tongue. If the right ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking well of you; if the left ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking unkindly of you; but if both ears burn, friend and foe are fighting about you. - Pennsylvania. If your ears burn, people are talking well of you; if your ears are cold, the contrary. -...

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!...
