Cerasee Tea for Health

Cerasee is a popular herbal tea of the Caribbean Islands.  It is utilized for many ailments, as it is a blood cleanser.  Women use it to sooth monthly cramps, as well as to treat urinary tract infections.  The tea is used to remove parasitic worms from the body.  It cleanses the liver and kidneys.  If you google cerasee tea, there is a great deal of information about all the benefits.

I never knew about cerasee tea until I brought it inadvertently  during a flower arranging class from my garden and a certified nursing assistant told me all about it.   The cerisee vine grows like a weed in my garden so I started bringing it to work for the nurses to use.  I decided to make a video about it on my YouTube garden channel.

People started asking me for the tea and seeds so I started a business.  I sell the tea in bulk gallon bags for just six dollars, including shipping.  Seed packets of a dozen seeds are three dollars including shipping.

To brew the tea, boil water and then pour it over about a four inch piece of vine and leaves.  Leave the tea to steep in the water for a few minutes, then strain into a cup.  You can also put the leaves in a tea infuser and steep in  boiling water.  It is a bitter tea.

To order tea, just leave your contact information on my website, www.robbornstein.com

Men and women drink the tea as a tonic, but not all the time since it can be hard on the kidneys and liver.

Secrets, tricks and best bets for your successful garden this spring

For most of the country, this is the time to start tilling the soil, adding organic amendments, buying the seeds, starts and accoutrements to begin the planting season.  (Those of us in South Florida are winding down our main fall to winter vegetable planting season.)  This is a new article I wrote for Examiner.com giving you top tips for your new spring planting.  Click on the purple sentence below to read article.

Best goals for your garden this spring

Fresh lettuce greens are quick and easy to grow.

I am excited to share this wonderful method of organizing  seed packets.  I have tried many methods over the years.  I have kept them in boxes, bags and recipe card holders.  On one of the social networks there was a post on utilizing small photo albums to hold seed packets.  I love it!  Here is a quick video to show you how.

It is also fun to try new varieties  it keeps gardening interesting.  Remember to rotate crops, they produce bigger yields and it helps the soil as well.  I never spray any insecticides and always have plenty to eat, even in my small urban garden.  I am going to try some yard long beans and maybe some tropical root crops this summer.  New to me also is a tropical green called callalo, which is utilized like spinach.  You may know it as amaranth.

Creative salads from garden produce is always a healthy easy to digest meal during hot summer months.

Cherry tomatoes ripen quickly and can be diced and added to salads, omelettes   sandwiches and burgers.

The mango tree is putting out a second set of blooms this year for two crops of fruit, very unusual.

I hope you find these tips useful and have a happy, productive, fun, healthy growing season.

Boston bombings, Stress and therapeutic landscapes

 What a week it has been, so stressful.  One night I had the news on late, and then was unable to get to sleep.  I even woke up early, without the alarm.  I need my garden more than ever to heal, calm down and try to relax.  As the Grateful Dead song goes, What a long strange trip it’s been.

Tips to heal:

Take a walk in a park, nature preserve or garden.  Mother Nature has a way of calming you down.  The fresh air, beauty, and order are very calming.  It is also beneficial to get out of the house, away from the routine, and especially away from the TV for a while. 

 Visit a florist shop.  The beauty of flowers arranged just so, brings joy and lift your spirit.  You can buy one or make your own.  Making your own arrangement is very creative and will make you feel good.  Enjoy the aroma of flowers.  Aromatherapy is great for soothing the soul.

 Go to a garden center.  The beauty of orderly landscape plants and flowers contrasts the chaos and sadness of recent events of Boston and Texas.  The soothing sounds of water cascading from fountains will help you feel better.

Time will heal most of our wounds.  In the meantime, just take it one day at a time.

Try not to self medicate with pills, wine or sweets.  Let Mother Nature heal you.
