Olena (turmeric) & nioi (chili pepper)
Olena (turmeric) & nioi (turmeric) juice
For kidney, bladder, urinary tract health....and other stuff I cant remember right now. Can be used for UTIs and kidney stones.
What we did:
4 fingers of nioi, chopped
1 cup water
Blended and strained the juice out
3 nioi, chopped(relatively large ones, fresh off the plant)
1 cup of water
Blended and strained the juice out
Disposed of leftover herb in garden
Blended olena and nioi juice together (total 2 cups)
Tasted it to make sure ok
Blessed it
Cannot handle more than 2 sips at a time; gonna burn a hole thru my stomach. Should probably mix or follow with something yogurty. But feel stronger and better making medicine and being around good folks. Already feel more rooted, everyone at our table kind & generous. Our kumu is a wonderful person, and so are the other healers and apprentices that come around to check up on us and answer our questions.
Important: Must be refrigerated & consumed within 3 days. Strength & dosage varies depending on ailment (and how much nioi you can handle!)
