Tea or Herbal Enemas

Regarding Melatonin, i have restless leg syndrome and my neurologist suggested 2000 mcg per night. Start with 500mcg and add as needed.

The ceyanne tea enema works better for me, however, my wife has fits if I do daily enemas.

2000 mcg is MICRO grams or 2 MILLI grams which is a small dose of melatonin. Is that what you meant??

mcg is an accepted but HORRIBLE abbreviation for micrograms. We should use Mu or spell it out.

DAMN PRESIDENT CARTER AND REAGAN for not making the US go metric and we wouldn't have that problem.

Thank you for the recommendations and especially your clarifications!! A good resource I've found on this subject is www.health-information-fitness.com. Several herbs have sedative qualities, including ones mentioned in recent posts. I'll talk with my doctor this week and see what she says. As I've noted in previous posts, if a natural remedy is safer than a drug, she knows about it.

Vicki, Catnip tea enemas are also quite calming. perhaps you might mention those also.

Susie, I am just reading the label and relaying what the doc prescribed for me...

I trade futures for a living, not in the medical profession.

I take no offense, I love your replies.

Thanks, master. anjir. From the health-information-fitness.com website: "A catnip tea enema series is great enema for reducing fever and has the added benefit of re-hydration the body. Catnip is very soothing and relaxing to the intestinal lining. (I need this sometimes) As an herbal remedy in an enema or by tea, catnip works as a muscle relaxant, nervine and mild sedative." Isn't it weird that my cat Oliver goes bonkers when I play catnip with him, but for people it's soothing to our insides and is a sedative. Is this considered homeopathy? If it works, I'd be willing to try.

When I moved to Belgium and went to school, at first I didn't know the metric system at all. But it took about 1 week to get it down all pat and do most of the math in my head, it was so simple. Liters to kilos to cubic tons and all those kind of computations were a breeze ...

You've got to be crazy to want to keep a system that has 5280 feet in a mile. Impossible to do in the head or even with long division on paper. That is the worst kind of mental sadism ...

Agracier, you want to talk about stupid?

In the US we sell milk by the quart and soda by the liter. How utterly stupid is that.

A meter is close enough to be a yard for comprehension.

A one pound loaf of bread or a pound of butter could be half a kilo. People are simply DUMB.

Oh, it is just social inertia. People think, it's always been like this so why change? Change makes the brain hurt ... ha ha.

I was apprehensive at first too. From horror story stuff I'd heard in school in the US. Which was quite wrong by the way. A classmate in my new Belgian school just gave me an explanation about the milli, centi, deca, kilo meanings and it was simplicity itself. And I normally hate, loathe and despise math in any form.

All that takes time to learn is judging distances/heights etc by sight.

Vicki, I believe it is considered homeopathic. I use it myself at times for stress relief, and bouts of occasional insomnia. It is quite comfortable and easily retained.

Even with that in mind there appears variances to English pronunciation of metricated measurement...such as liter / litre...& meter being metre or roughly 39 inches...the latter being critical when working with cubic volume

A meter can be one of several...an installation such as a gas meter...a metering device...or a visual gauge that registers air/ fluid pressure Whereas metre is measurement specific.

Speaking of crazy, then there are several types of engineering measurements which could make it difficult where there are specialized projects done in collaboration with international partners

There was a $125 MILLION dollar failure and loss of a Mars orbiter in 1999 because the IDIOTS AT LOCKHEED were using SAE/English units instead of SI metric being used by NASA.

http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/space/9909/30/mars.metric.02/

That failure and loss prompted a new law stating that ALL contractors hired by NASA MUST use SI metric units.

If you are using it homepathically, you have to dilute it about a trillion trillion times for it to be effective.

What a joke homeopathy is.

Actually it was probably a HOAX and the misfit misanthrope, Samuel Hahnemann is laughing at his disciples and their unfortunate patients from his grave.

Do you have trouble with there, their, they're, aisle, isle, I'll; bases, basses, basis; for, four, fore; vain, vein, vane; cited, sited, sighted; coarse, course; made, maid; mail, male; among MANY others including "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo?" which IS a gramattically correct sentence.

Homonyms, homophones and words with more than meaning are in everyday life, so to say some units of measurement are confusing because of that, well, like I said, some people are just, well, . . . DUMB and can't handle normal every day words. We know what words mean because of their context. Frighteningly, ONE SIXTH of the population has an IQ below 85 and many more are too lazy to use the abilities they do possess. To quote my younger daughter, "I hate dealing with stupid people." People need to get with it and get educated, if not, they will be left behind and can do the simple but necessary menial tasks I prefer not to do.

So often, I feel like I need this to feel better:

TWO Minus 30s would be about right.

Good clip !!

Actually comment was merely based upon an observation about the difference in written text, which can be amusing to some

I'd bet we both see it often in youtube comments 😁

I have tried Catnip Tea enemas before. I do have to say they were very relaxing and if I had any catnip handy I would try one or 2 or 3 again.

And then of course there is the meter of a poem. And "I am going to meet 'er." English is full of frustrating homonyms. Pity the poor adult trying to learn it.

I did a search for peppermint tea enemas and found this (and yes I'm going to try it). After reading through a bit, I wonder if anyone has tried Sleepytime Tea?

If you want peppermint with a blast, put a tablespoon of peppermint extract in two quarts of water and let it flow in.

You will TASTE the mint.

Well that's a different way of gargling mouthwash.

Be careful with damiana. It can cause seizures in large enough amounts. It can also potentiate oral hypoglycemics and can lower blood sugar dangerously.

I tried the peppermint today. Two small bags in two quarts. I didn't feel any different, so I'll add two more bags next time.

Zenos, Re. Datura, I am surprised that you are both smoking and using it for Enemas.

This is a Psychoactive plant. Classed as a Noxious + Controlled weed here and lots of info. available as to its negative effects.

Had friend who was a Mental Health Nurse. He had quite a few stories of People that were Hospitalised due to Psychotic episodes after partaking in this plant due to overdosing. Apparently very hard to get a "controlled" dosage. The after effects were long term. (think years) not weeks.

I confess to trying it once as a youth. Once, and only once. NEVER again. bad, bad trip. No developed Psychosis fortunately.

DON'T do it...

Datura, I am surprised that you are both smoking and using it for Enemas.

Even when I come across the unmistakable datura plant, it seems like the air and immediate surroundings are steeped in a foul miasma of something so obviously noxious and dangerous that I almost hold my breath for fear of breathing in anything of the plant.

Datura is a big time 'stay-away' plant.

All Datura plants contain tropane alkaloids such as scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine, primarily in their seeds and flowers. Because of the presence of these substances, Datura has been used for centuries in some cultures as a poison.

A given plant's toxicity depends on its age, where it is growing, and the local weather conditions. These variations makes Datura exceptionally hazardous as a drug.

Datura has been used for centuries in some cultures as a poison.

Pulverized Datura was said to be a typical ingredient of 'witches brews' and potions. When mixed as a salve and then applied on the skin (often on the genitals) the active substances often gave who used it a sensation of flying (think of rapid heartbeat due to atropine). And if they were zonked out on anything else, half conscious or drugged out, some might actually have believed they were able to fly about when using the potion.

I'm really enjoying your blog. I love natural remedies, EO's, etc... Peppermint is not a favoritem of mine but now I want to try catnip.

I'm enjoying chamomile tea.

I've tried taking chamomile tea and peppermint tea enemas. I've found that they're easier to hold and causes less cramping than just water. I wonder if it's because the tea has a calming effect or because the osmotic effect is balanced.

When you take a tea enema, make sure the water temperature isn't too warm. Don't want to hurt yourself.

After reading these posts I chose to finish my usual routine with a chamomile enema instead of coffee. I found it to be very easy to take the whole bag, very relaxing. I ended up taking a nap after I had finished. Woke up refreshed and feeling great. I will be including chamomile tea in my enema routine in the future. Try it you'll like it.

I grow my own herbs and have found that catnip, mint, and lemon balm are very relaxing to finish with. Give me a good sleep when I use it before bed.
