Anise Tea
Anise tea is beneficial in treating frigidity and impotence and for the easing of the menstrual cycle. The ancient Greeks used aniseeds and fresh flowers for pain relief and recorded that aniseed warms, dries, dissolves, facilities breathing, provokes urine, eases thirst and relieves pain- and modern research verifies this.
Make a tea of 2 teaspoons of aniseeds, pour over this 1 cup of boiling water leave it to stand for four to five minutes, give it a good stir, then either strain and sip slowly, or chew the seeds well with the tea - they are delicious.
Alternatively, make tea of fresh leaves and flowers by steeping ¼ of the leaves and flowers in 1 cup of boiling water for three to four minutes.
Strain, sweeten with a touch of honey, if liked and sip slowly.
The cooled tea made of either the fresh flowers and leaves or the seeds, can also be strained and used as a lotion or wash for oily skin, enlarged pores and acne and in spray bottle misted over the face will help to freshen, brighten and remove oiliness and redness, and to give an instant moisturizing effect to a lot flushed face.
