CERASSE TEA

         Got a phone call early this morning and I hear my friend sipping on something and I asked what u drinking and he replied some CERASSE I instantly replied YUCK in my show of dismay. I remember when my uncle and them used to make us drink that along with some other bush teas but that was just that worst. With them being rasta everything NATURAL was good for us. Not a sip I would take I think I did mine in huge gulps along with holding my breath to hurry up and finish LOL. I'm sitting here wondering why I didn't do the same things to my kids but its still not to late *insert evil grin*

In the above picture you can see the seeds, if I'm not mistaking if taking by a pregnant woman can cause miscarriages/abortion


There are many other health attributions to this bush tea. For instance when I took my kids to Jamaica one yr the mosquitoes were not kind at all to one of my twins she had severe reactions to their bites which turned out into massive sores and I remember them putting here in a pan and giving her a bath with the vines/leaves to heal them. My husband at the time daughter had eczema and they gave her a bath with it also.
My father drank it for his high blood pressure and diabetes. To my knowledge it's good for constipation and also to clean you out after having baby by helping the body to promote discharge.
