Welcome to Gaia! ::

Um, please note that since this is a thread with the intention of research. I put it in the main forum.

Hi. This is something useful I literally stumbled onto. By literally I mean I read some uses for a chamomile tea bag. Well, I tried to find the link to where I read it but I can't seem to. Belonging to 15 to 20 guilds will do that to you.

Essentially what it said was that for cuts, acne and swelling (even swelling on some pets) That you take a chamomile tea bag after it's been used and while it's still warm. You hold it on the desired spot for 20 minutes or so. Make sure no sugar or honey was in the cup. After you drank the tea press the bag to get the excess moisture out. Hold it to desired area.

I tried this on a very small bit of acne. By very small I mean very very small just one spot by my chin. It worked, I could feel my skin like, shrinking and cleaning.

Since I have allergies and chamomile worked as an anti inflammatory. I tried it on my forehead. Things got kind of tripped out all of a sudden. I contemplated whether it was the damiana in my system or the chamomile.

I decided the only way to test this was to do it again. So, I did. This time two of my friends did the same thing by placing the teabag on forehead. Well, to be perfectly honest; third eye. We let it seep in and we felt changes to our focus.

I felt more concentrated and relaxed. Everything was warm and fuzzy and I am still holding a blissful feeling from the meditation. Well, when I wrote this. A few hours had passed and I am sharing this in several guilds.

One of my friends was suddenly able to see clearer in the dark.

My other friend felt warm tingles to her brain enhancing the meditative state.

This worked fantasticly well as a meditation aid. I got to thinking, what other tea bags would have a hidden effect like this?

Also for the record. In an effort to see if this was a natural herbal property or not. I swear, I did not do anything to those teabags before we did this.

Anyhow, this got me to thinking. What happens when you use other tea bags? I need volunteers in helping me collect experiences. This chamomile helped to clean my third eye and helped me focus like nothing else I have encountered before.

What would green tea do? Do the slight changes and or variations in flavor and potency produce different results? Would different teabags be used for different purposes and if so; what hidden uses for teabags could this unlock?

So, if you are going to help me with this. Please PM me with a link leading me to where you found this thread. I will keep the address in my records so I can keep checking back.

Help from those with sensitive third eyes and experience in deep meditation is highly preferred. Amateurs welcome, but they should study meditation more as they begin to help me with this.

??? I more meant just send me the url in your browser so I have a link to click on to check back on the topic location.

I will have to try that green tea remedy--I have a kitty [outdoor] that has a mad gash on his leg. I gave him 1/4 of a human Bayer [that works on your pets--dogs get a whole one for major injury, the vet said] and my cat's at least walking around now. I'd like to do more to help nurse him back to health. This is the second time he's tussled with some moonlight nasty.

I'll be trying the Chamomile whammy later on today.

I meditated in my own home for the first time, so it was hard to tell what was going on at first. I first drank the tea, and then laid down on the floor to get comfortable with music in the background. The chamomile bag was on my forehead and even now, twenty minutes after, my forehead feels cool. Afterwards, while coming back, I placed the bag on my lips and felt a tingle that was almost stronger than when I'd put it on my forehead, initially.

My concentration didn't waver much, which is good because I have that problem at times, especially at home and in a new surrounding for the meditation. Nothing new except I had a wolf show up in my meditation that sprinted away at first, and then paced beside me with my other animal guide. There's a good chance he's been in the house and I'd contacted him finally. All the stress in my mind has disappeared in about twenty minutes.

All in all, a very peaceful effect and I'd recommend it to others who meditate alone.

p.s.--I think I'd like to try it with Black tea and Green tea, but I want to see what other results I can gain with Chamomile. I'm familiar with tea meditation now that I realize I've done it before in a group setting.

I tried some green tea with lemon and ginseng. That was last night. I think it just made me crash out, go to sleep and actually block out my third eye. Course, I was drained from a family party earlier. I'm going to have to try again tonight sometime. See if I get the same zonking out effect.

I appreciate the thought. I know how to handle myself though. I just don't share such things publicly until I see who I'm talking to and even then don't share everything I do. I see it as a common sense thing. You don't know person to person who you're talking to on the internet. Sometimes people maliciously attack from the internet. If all your information is posted. Then they have a better idea of your strengths, weaknesses and what you would do for defensive purposes.

OH! Um, in that case listen to what she has to say folks!

I'm trying to ease into the Buddhist daily meditation just to keep things sharp y'know? But it's still a toss up right now balancing out how much energy I have left from dealing with people and how much quiet time there is in the day.

What I have been doing though is using the meditation line of thought at various points during the day for thoughts I need to work out or let go though.
