Ajo Te - Ground tea leaves 85 gr.

Ajo Té is powerful traditional from the Amazon, used as a general blood purifier, preventative for colds and flus, and in larger, more regular quantities, as an adjunctive in the treatment of a wide variety of degenerative diseases

Uses & Protocols

The following uses and protocols are well-established among the people's of the Ecuadorean oriente. As is the case with other Amazonian traditionals, please note that these are indigenous uses, few of which have gone through rigorous clinical testing. This ethnobotanical information is provided as a guideline to how others use this product. Since this product comes as dried tea leaves, proper preparation is discussed herein before getting into protocol.

I. Preparation

Add 21 grams or roughly 6.5 Tablespoons of Ajo Te to a large sauce pan, along with one gallon of purified water (3.75 liters). You can pro rate from this to make less tea, if you wish.

Heat until a very low-level boil or "barely boiling" level has been reached.

Continue to stir occasionally over 25 minutes.

Remove heat source and let cool.

Pour the contents of your pan through a strainer and into a large glass vase or container so as to remove most of the tea leaf fragments.

Dispose of tea leaves.

Drink your tea hot; refrigerate glass vase and enjoy Ajo later as a refreshing cold tea or refrigerate and reheat later if you want to enjoy the product as a hot tea.

II. Protocols.

This product carries an unusual protocol and is geared to treating serious diseases in the Amazon. In the Amazon, the tea is prepared a pot at a time and drunk throughout the day. Herbalists in the Amazon routinely ask patients to drink as much as two liters per day -- or as much as they are able, to effect the maximum benefit. However, in our experience, just 1/2 to one cup, 3X a day, is sufficient for Western consumers.

During the treatment period, users drink the tea in place of water, tea, coffee and other beverages. Note: Users should note that a slight smell of garlic will begin to be detectable from the skin after a week of use, not as intense as with the regular and/or high consumption of raw garlic, but still detectable. Our protocols normally provide an amount of product to consume, along with a regularity (normally 1X, 2X, or 3X per day -- before, during, or after meals), but with this product, no such advice is provided. Instead, the goal should be to consume the product liberally throughout the day. Again -- this mimics how the product is successfully used in the Amazon.

The product should be consumed for a minumum of two months, however, three months of treatment is adviseable.

Contraindications

Similiar to other Amazonian traditionals, the contraindications for this product are primarily dietary: during treatment period, do not consume pork, cow's meat, chicken, or sea fish. Freshwater fish is alright. Additionally, no salt, no sugar or other monosaccharide sweeteners, no spicy foods, no cayenne or ají (hot sauce).
