The godsend of Tea Tree Oil
Comments (36)Some big ego's in here, kind of sad to see. I would like to inform all interested that the Australian Aboriginals have used Melaleuca (Tea Tree) for thousands of years. When ever they had a cold/sore throat or just wanted a boost (tonic) they just boiled up the leaves in water and drank the tea. I've tried it and enjoy the taste, I also noticed quite a bit of oil floating on the surface of my tea. No ill effects at all. The paper like bark is also excellent for cooking fish in. I have also used Tea tree oil as a preservative when boiling up extracts of herbs/mushrooms. They never go off and don't cause me any problems internally.

Comments (11)Very interesting post. I always get sores in my mouth after eating tomatoes for an extended period of time... I start eating them 7-15 (approx) and then I don't stop until they stop. About middle August I get them - worst part is, I don't stop eating them... fresh tomatoes are such a specialty for me that the pain seems worth it! I'd imagine that if I ate ANY fruit as much as I ate tomatoes that I'd probably have SOME reaction... Saturday I cut up a fresh pineapple and by Sunday I was having some effect in my mouth from eating a lot of it for 2 days......See Moreincessant throat clearing
Comments (19)Well I got really curious since sinus clogging and throat clearing have been a life long problem for me - solved at age 43 - simple dehydration. Since I have solved my problem I've merely kept up with it but for quite some years I have wondered just how the dehydration caused my symptoms. So! Tonite I Googled >Dehydration and SinusDehydration and Dry CoughIt would seem there are many causes and dehydration is one. I did not persue this at length - just enough to see that my observations (of myself) were valid. Here is just one site of interest. The Effects Of Dehydration : Your Health Journal http://www.lensaunders.com/wp/the-effects-of-dehydration/ And here are 3 statements I copied which confirm my observations: Avoid cold water or ice water because that just shocks the body and you just end up going to the bathroom with very little being absorbed Without enough fluid in the body, the mucus will thicken, making it difficult for the cilia to move it through the sinuses. I advise patients to drink plenty of water, as dehydration can make the mucus more tenacious and difficult to clear; (from the throat). This, of course, doesn't mean that I consider my suggestion to be the true solution; just that it was/is a valid consideration among many.

Comments (37)purplemoon, thank you, well, since this treatment is going to last at least until Aug, I have to deal with good days (few) and not so good days, but I try to not have the bad days totally run my life...they just slow it down LOL Paintingfool, you just gave me a good belly laugh (Godiva) ha, only in my dreams, especially lately LOL I am glad that the tablesetting bug has gone to your family, there is nothing more pleasing than people actually using their "treasures" rather than making a shrine to them. To be lovinging touched and sharing a food event whether simple or elaborate is what makes the dishes special, because they were used with love. And each time the dishes are used they acquire a new patina of love every time they are used, now that is "priceless". And wow, 6 sisters, that means 6 opporutunites of beautiful tables and fun! dining delight, thank you too for your sweet words. I do hope what thoughts that come streaming out of this head (especially lately) are of some help to everyone, I defineatly do not have a claim to "engaging prose", I do the best I can, but of course if anyone has any questions I am always glad to take a poke at it. I do not consider myself an expert in any way. As I had said in the main forum under another thread, I do follow certain rules, but I do put up alot of others for grabs LOL, at this stage of my life I try to please me and others, the whole idea is to have fun, bring in color, excitement to what is a normal routine in most of our lives. My ears are burning in a good way, thankyou :) luvs, the Party Planner seems to be way behind on posting the photos, but if you go to her most recent comment about being busy...I think, you will see people that participated with comments, click on there blog sign and their blog will come up and you will see their teaparties....See Morekristenmarie
