Re: Yarrow Tea Re: For those going grey!
I'm off on Monday's and had decided last night that I was going to continue the 'trashing' that I had started last night. I wanted to take a little break, so I decided to check the forum and what a coincidence it was when I saw this thread! Uny and I were discussing this very thing last night. I made that post that Water linked a long time ago and I was so excited but like lots of people, life got in my way and I never tried to reverse my grey.
Several months ago Uny came across one of Dr. Christopher's original news letters where he gave the formula to restore your hair to its natural color after going grey. I wrote the formula down but left it at work. Just last week I got my Yarrow so I am going to make it today but remembered that the directions were at work. Uny gave me the formula again last night and I jotted it down but I see that I left something important out now that I'm looking at it. You're not only supposed to rinse with the Yarrow tea, you're supposed to drink either 2 or 3 cups of it a day, that's what I didn't write down lol, but I'll find out and post it.
According to Dr. Christopher's newsletter you use 2 tablespoons of the Yarrow to 1 pint of distilled water. For the tea you drink, you let it simmer for 5 minutes and its done. The formula for the rinse is the same amounts of water and herb, but instead of letting it simmer for just 5 minutes, you let 1/2 of it simmer away and its done.
I'm brewing my first batch today. We took pictures of my hair so that when it is restored I can post it.
One more thing I wanted to mention is that when I first started taking herbs, cleaning up my diet and doing cleanses, I did get some strands of black back in my hair. They aren't really noticeable at a glance but I can see them in the mirror if I look for them. So Roooth, I DO believe that if we were to cleanse our bodies and keep them cleansed and if we're assimilating the correct nutrients, our hair WOULD restore itself to our natural color! YAY, our bodies have amazing healing schematics!
Tellurider, I don't think we are supposed to rinse that tea our of our hair, we're supposed to rinse our hair in it and leave it there. Also, I'm not so sure about adding the ACV. Dr. Christopher didn't say anything about that. I'll have to see what Uny discerns about that lol. So, are you going to do this? If so, could you take a pic of your hair so we can both post the before and after? That'd be cool if two of us could testify about it.
