But what I'm wanting to know, how long will the tea stay good being put back for later use? Thanks for reading Corrine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Corinne, When I make eyewashes , I do not use them for more than a day. Have a scrupolous clean container, etc... My favorite eyewash is to collect the white, transparent leaves from young beeches in January, February, that keep on hanging on the trees. A few leaves, a cup of boiling water over them , to steep for about 10 Minutes. A train through an unbleached coffee filter, and sterilized gauze to wash the eyes with. Fresh every day. It's an old native Odawa medicine. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it really bad tried everything on the counter at your local Wal- mart. Then I still needed to go to the doctor and finally I had a friend that suggested using a Indian Medicine. At that point I was willing to try anything, I had no experience with natural healing. Really wet behind the ears and very nervous on trying something like that. But after making a tea out of the pokesalad root, then taking a bath in it, I was crystal clear on which medicines were the BEST. Now when someone mentions an American Indian remedy, I listen very very very well. So I'll be trying the beeches soon. Thanks again, Corrine.
