when last you had a good herbal tea?

this stuff is supposed to be real good for you

Precaution

It is a well known fact in Jamaica that this plant should be taken for nine days and then break until further use when it is necessary. Excessive use of cerasee may cause liver damage, so use with care.

It is indeed..

My neighbors when i was building...used to beg me not to cut the bush down that was where my garage is now....

I held out as much as i could but the transplant didnt take...

that stuff clears the cold off your chest with ease...like a good Buckleys?

speaking o which...sad that they went out of business...that stuff worked.

In reply to Curtis

Didn’t know you should limit your intake – I drink a cup of the tea every now and again – wasn’t aware of its medicinal prowess either – I just like it from a long time ago. Now I will be more circumspect in my usage

In reply to birdseye

In Bim..thats the MAIN thing its known for..preventative and a cure all Bush!


Sadly..too many of us have lost touch with this aspect of our Cultures/Ancestry.

In reply to powen001, birdseye

it grows up here (Canada) too, just got some from my Yardie neighbour

it's time to return to these teas

In reply to powen001

how do you prepare it? I boiled it and steeped it as tea.

aka ban/barn corilla or just corilla for Guyanese.


the cerasee fruit/melon/corilla [as we muddies call it]....is it the big or small type?

In reply to Curtis

Many Caribbean-centric stores sells boxes containing 20 tea bags – I just poor hot-water and add sugar to make a cup – I guess its not like pulling the weed and brewing from that – but we got to make do

Meh mudda n a treeknee bloke warned, not to drink it frequently, but occasionally - I drink a small cup once a month. Frequent drinking of it `thins` your blood!

In reply to Curtis

same..Boiled and steeped as tea...

Some people dry it somewhat...
Bayleaf is a good soother for getting some zzzz...I still use that occasionally.

In reply to BeatDball

Mauby I found out does the same thing...and we does drink NUFF Mauby in this house

In reply to eXodus

wait, so is karila bush the same as ceresee bush?

karila is a bitter smaller type of bitter melon

In reply to Curtis

pretty much the same thing...the ban corilla that i'm talking about is the smaller, more bitter version.

If you have cold in your eyes, Try this bush

However, everything in moderation. But a Guyneez would say, don't overdo the douh!
