This blog was created to preserve a little part of Jamaica's culture. Too many jokes and interesting things about the Island get forgotten just because there wasn't an archive of them. This blog allows me to archive all these jokes and interesting things so that they will never be forgotten. I will write about what I know and believe, but I need all the help I can get.

Jamaican ole time remedies
I was speaking to a 97 year old lady, (yes 97) and she was telling me the secret for her longevity. She said "Son, put your trust in God and He will tell you what herb to take for healing."
Just then I remembered my grandmother and all the different type of teas that she would drink, and I thought, "Man! all this information is about to be lost with our aged population unless someone does something about it.
I will do my best to gather information about Natural remedies our fore parents used to take, but I need help on this one. Consult the old folk, the Rasta-man down the street and find out what to use for different ailments of the body.
I know bread fruit leaf tea good for pressure, but that's all I know.
Help me out and jot down what you know below.
Here are some videos for you enjoyment.
Theses videos are only starters...As I get more info I will be updating this page.
