psychic tea
Mixing 3 parts rose petals,2 parts Yarrow,and 1 part cinnamon is supposed to be able to aid a person in recieving psychic visions,when drunk before or during devination.
I'll be trying this sometime this weekend,so I'll let ya know.

Re: psychic tea
Bummer, I don't have any rose petals at the moment. I may have to take a trip to the local herb farm to see if I can get some. This tea sounds delicious.
Thank You Shadeaux

Re: psychic tea
Yarrow is most definitely NOT poisonous. It is another “weed” in my area – the only caution I know with it is that you should never harvest it from the roadside, as county highway departments spray herbicides in those areas. You have to be careful with it in your garden because it is opportunistic and will take over - it's as forceful as mint and more difficult to remove because the root system is deeper and stronger; so much so that it can compete successfully with quack grass. It likes full sun. It comes in a variety of colors – yellow, white, red, burgandy, pink, salmon, and probably a few more. The flowers are what you use for tea, and they also hold their shape and color well in dried arrangements. I've only harvested the yellow or white flowers for medicine, and they make a golden colored tea. It smells sweet but has a rather bitter taste to it. Kind of an odd contrast, really - the bright gold color with a rich, dark flavor.
A cup of hot yarrow tea will break up a cold, it’s good for lungs, it’s a decent diuretic. I used to give it to my little ones with fennel for gas & diarrhea. That's a nice blend because fennel is sweet and yarrow is bitter. Actually, it's an ingredient in a number of blends I use - it works well with elder flowers, for example. I also put it in ointments and use it much like sage – good for old wounds, has drawing out properties and very healing to skin conditions. I sometimes throw it in summer bath blends with mint - stimulating, invigorating. I also use the fresh leaves occasionally in salad - bitter, biting, just a nice zing, like radish sprouts. It’s good for circulation and controlling bleeding. It’s a great general tonic tea, especially in winter & early spring.
I can understand why yarrow would be an ingredient in a "psychic" tea – it’s very cleansing and protecting of the body and also stimulates the 7th charka. The live plant energy is strong, simple, direct. I meditate with the flower heads as they are beginning to open, (symbolic of opening the mind to spiritual enlightenment), so I would imagine you could use the dried flowers for the same purpose.
So, how did it work?

Re: psychic tea
Actually,after I posted that I was going to be trying it,i discovered that my daughter had used all my cinnamon. So,I had to wait til I could get to the store to get some.Then when I was getting ready to blend it,I found bugs in my rose petals. I guess someone didnt want me trying it out just then.Hopefully,I'll be getting some new rose petals soon(I wont use any that aren't organic,and they're hard to find here).But I will let you all know when I finally get everything together,at the same time,to try it.But so far,it's been one giant experiment in Murphy's Law 101.

Re: psychic tea
i've used it but didn't have visions. though i never have visions. it did amp up my natural empathy/slight telepathy, and ability to feel out future events.
