1 handful of hibiscus blossoms
1 handful of fennel seeds
1/2 handful of peppermint leaves
3 tablespoons of rosemary
3 tablespoons of lady's mantle (dewcup)
4 tablespoons of yarrow
4 tablespoons meliot
1 tablespoon of lemon balm
2 tablespoons of birch leaves
2 tablespoons of nettle leaves
2 tablespoons horsetail
2 teaspoons sandalwood
1 tablespoon hops
1 tablespoon of dandelions leaves and blossoms
1 tablespoon of wormwood (absinthe)

Mix and use one tablespoon for each cup of tea. Pour the dry tea into earthenware or enamel pot, add boiling water. Quickly bring to boil, them remove from heat. Let steep, covered, for 5 minutes. Strain. Sip the tea lukewarm; take 2 to 4 cups daily. Sweeten with honey or brown sugar if you wish. This tea will detoxify the system without causing hunger sensations.
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.
