I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug ten people at a time.

Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) [Also called Huahtli, Velvet Flower, Red cockscomb, Flower of immortality] is a flowering herb used as an astringent and very much recommended in diarrhea, dysentery, and hemorrhages from the bowels. It has also been used for hundreds of years for profuse menstruation. The decoction is drunk a teacupful at a time or applied externally for ulcerated conditions of the throat and mouth, or as a douche.
