A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:12.04\00:00:13.68
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:31.39\00:00:33.50
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:33.56\00:00:36.03
And have you ever wondered...
00:00:36.06\00:00:39.77
What am I going to
eat today for desert?
00:00:39.80\00:00:43.97
Ah, carrot cake!
00:00:44.04\00:00:45.94
Yes, carrot cake.
00:00:45.97\00:00:47.34
We are making carrot cake today.
00:00:47.41\00:00:50.41
Raw carrot cake.
00:00:50.48\00:00:54.05
Can that be done?
00:00:54.08\00:00:55.48
Yes.
00:00:55.52\00:00:56.85
And we're gonna show you
00:00:56.92\00:00:58.25
how to make an
amazing raw carrot cake
00:00:58.29\00:01:01.86
which is simple,
and easy, and delicious.
00:01:01.89\00:01:06.13
And the ingredients are...
00:01:06.16\00:01:07.76
And have you ever
juiced a whole bunch of carrots
00:01:34.39\00:01:39.83
and didn't know
what to do with them?
00:01:39.86\00:01:43.00
Now here's a
recipe that shows you
00:01:43.03\00:01:44.67
what to do with your
leftover carrot pulp,
00:01:44.70\00:01:46.90
you can make a carrot cake.
00:01:46.97\00:01:48.97
Today, we're gonna
make carrot cupcakes.
00:01:49.00\00:01:52.87
So we start off with
the dry ingredients first.
00:01:52.91\00:01:56.31
We have our
walnuts, and remember,
00:01:56.34\00:01:58.61
to have a stash of soaked,
00:01:58.65\00:02:02.98
dehydrated
walnuts at every time,
00:02:03.02\00:02:04.99
you can keep
them in the freezer,
00:02:05.02\00:02:06.52
so you'll have them ready
and available at all times.
00:02:06.55\00:02:11.46
We put our salt,
00:02:15.33\00:02:16.67
and salt balances
the taste in sweet stuff.
00:02:16.73\00:02:19.50
So we just, just do a pinch,
00:02:19.53\00:02:21.64
a pinch of salt
00:02:21.67\00:02:23.81
and then we're
gonna put our coriander,
00:02:23.87\00:02:27.78
and our cardamom.
00:02:27.81\00:02:29.14
I love the smell of cardamom,
it's just so wonderful.
00:02:29.18\00:02:34.38
And then we process.
00:02:37.49\00:02:38.82
And you want to
process till it looks
00:02:53.07\00:02:54.90
a little bit like sand,
00:02:54.94\00:02:57.84
okay, so now it's ready
for its wet ingredients.
00:02:57.87\00:03:03.38
You know, I'm gonna
put the, the dates in.
00:03:03.45\00:03:08.12
And then the carrot.
00:03:18.16\00:03:19.83
Next is the ginger.
00:03:31.31\00:03:32.81
And the vanilla.
00:03:37.31\00:03:40.98
And it's gonna
make a lot of noise
00:03:41.02\00:03:42.35
because the dates
are kind of hardy,
00:03:42.38\00:03:47.42
so that's why you need a
very strong food processor.
00:03:47.46\00:03:50.09
We'll work it around.
00:03:58.40\00:03:59.73
And you may have to
stop it a couple of times
00:04:12.18\00:04:14.82
and work it around.
00:04:14.85\00:04:17.19
If you don't have a
very strong food processor,
00:04:17.22\00:04:21.46
you have to keep working it,
00:04:21.49\00:04:25.46
because it might
not blend properly.
00:04:25.49\00:04:29.66
So when this is processed,
00:04:45.21\00:04:48.28
you want to put it in a bowl.
00:04:48.32\00:04:49.98
And to me, it
looks like cake dough,
00:04:55.06\00:04:59.56
and the cardamom
has a wonderful aroma,
00:04:59.59\00:05:03.67
it's pretty awesome.
00:05:03.70\00:05:05.30
Now what I like to do is,
00:05:11.94\00:05:14.91
I like to just
sprinkle my raisins in,
00:05:14.94\00:05:19.15
and work 'em in, not
put them in the processor.
00:05:19.18\00:05:24.55
So you want to just quickly
00:05:24.59\00:05:28.16
work your raisins in,
00:05:28.19\00:05:30.36
and if you want to,
00:05:30.43\00:05:31.76
you can also put pecans in there
00:05:31.79\00:05:34.83
or some more walnuts, if
you want more nuts in it.
00:05:34.83\00:05:38.47
So after you've done that,
00:05:46.21\00:05:50.41
you want to get...
00:05:50.45\00:05:51.78
A muffin pan
00:05:58.09\00:06:00.29
and take your batter
00:06:00.32\00:06:04.99
and put them in each muffin
00:06:05.03\00:06:11.40
with the cupcake paper inside.
00:06:11.43\00:06:17.91
And then after you've done that,
00:06:17.94\00:06:21.08
we are going to frost them.
00:06:21.11\00:06:24.15
And the frosting recipe is...
00:06:24.18\00:06:28.82
For the cream cheese
frosting, you would need...
00:06:28.85\00:06:31.25
So we're going
to use the vitamins
00:06:48.90\00:06:52.27
for the frosting.
00:06:52.31\00:06:54.51
And these cashews have
been soaked overnight...
00:06:54.54\00:06:58.15
And that makes
them much more creamier,
00:07:01.88\00:07:03.92
and also digestible.
00:07:03.95\00:07:06.79
We have our dates,
00:07:06.82\00:07:10.29
and we're gonna
process this a little bit first
00:07:10.36\00:07:13.33
with a little water.
00:07:13.36\00:07:16.80
I'm gonna put
the lemon juice in,
00:07:16.87\00:07:18.60
and then put just a
little bit of water.
00:07:18.63\00:07:20.87
Okay, we're gonna put
the remainder of the water,
00:07:55.17\00:07:59.54
oops,
00:07:59.57\00:08:02.54
and then the vanilla extract.
00:08:02.58\00:08:05.98
Look at that, it
looks like frosting.
00:08:25.70\00:08:30.04
I'm gonna give it a taste.
00:08:30.11\00:08:31.51
Very good.
00:08:35.54\00:08:36.88
So we'll take
some of the frosting
00:08:40.32\00:08:44.22
and we're going to...
00:08:44.29\00:08:45.62
Ice the cupcake.
00:08:50.73\00:08:52.06
This is a great
recipe to use at...
00:08:58.37\00:09:04.07
Around the holidays,
00:09:04.14\00:09:06.37
when you have all
those rich deserts.
00:09:06.41\00:09:13.15
And you can have a
desert and still be healthy.
00:09:13.18\00:09:19.69
So I'm gonna try it.
00:09:19.72\00:09:21.22
Very good.
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.57
The cardamom, gives
it a really good taste.
00:09:30.60\00:09:35.24
I just love cardamom.
00:09:35.27\00:09:38.84
And it's so, so
pretty too, look at it.
00:09:38.87\00:09:43.78
This has been Evita
Tezeno with A Taste of Paradise
00:09:43.85\00:09:47.85
and remember to live life fresh.
00:09:47.88\00:09:50.59
Healing of the nation.
00:09:58.49\00:10:00.23
Herbs and medicinal plants,
there are so many things,
00:10:00.30\00:10:03.00
natural things
that we can use to help,
00:10:03.03\00:10:05.17
bring on help from recovery
that will be beneficial to us.
00:10:05.20\00:10:09.10
The only
question is, which ones?
00:10:09.14\00:10:10.77
And how does it work?
00:10:10.81\00:10:12.14
And when is it necessary?
00:10:12.17\00:10:13.54
And there's so many
things that we can do.
00:10:13.58\00:10:15.18
I always encourage people,
number one, first and foremost,
00:10:15.21\00:10:17.71
if there is a
problem or ailment,
00:10:17.75\00:10:19.28
the first thing we should do is
00:10:19.31\00:10:20.68
not per se just
look at what we can do
00:10:20.72\00:10:22.12
to help the problem.
00:10:22.15\00:10:23.49
We should look at
00:10:23.55\00:10:24.89
what is the
cause of the problem.
00:10:24.92\00:10:26.25
What's causing a situation?
00:10:26.29\00:10:27.66
Why does my stomach hurt?
00:10:27.69\00:10:29.02
Why do I have a headache?
00:10:29.06\00:10:30.43
Not per se, "Hey,
what do I need to do?"
00:10:30.49\00:10:32.73
The reason why,
00:10:32.76\00:10:34.10
if you understand
what is the cause,
00:10:34.13\00:10:35.46
and I know it's
easier said than done,
00:10:35.50\00:10:36.83
'cause when you're dealing
with headaches, you're like,
00:10:36.90\00:10:38.23
"Just give me something to
get rid of it or whatever."
00:10:38.27\00:10:40.94
But a lot of times when
you get rid of it too fast,
00:10:40.97\00:10:42.94
you forget to take the
time and try to find out
00:10:42.97\00:10:45.64
what is the cause
of these situations.
00:10:45.67\00:10:47.84
And so there's
a couple of things
00:10:47.88\00:10:50.18
I want to share.
00:10:50.21\00:10:51.55
If you understand
the cause of a problem,
00:10:51.58\00:10:54.38
then what you want to do
now is get rid of it, you know,
00:10:54.42\00:10:58.55
if you can
intelligently get rid of it.
00:10:58.59\00:11:00.66
This is very helpful and
you'll take a little quick,
00:11:00.69\00:11:03.93
a look at some different things,
00:11:03.96\00:11:06.06
different things,
there's three little steps
00:11:06.09\00:11:07.60
that I'll share with
you that is helpful for,
00:11:07.60\00:11:09.80
when we are sick,
what we should do?
00:11:09.83\00:11:11.60
And number one is,
00:11:11.63\00:11:13.34
the first step is
identify the true cause?
00:11:13.40\00:11:16.40
What is the true cause
of a ailment or a problem
00:11:16.44\00:11:19.17
that we're dealing with?
00:11:19.21\00:11:20.54
Number two is,
intelligently remove the cause.
00:11:20.58\00:11:24.41
What is number two?
00:11:24.45\00:11:25.78
Intelligently, remove the cause.
00:11:25.81\00:11:27.58
And number three, help the body,
00:11:27.62\00:11:29.78
help the body
by not overworking,
00:11:29.82\00:11:32.62
not overeating, or
causing any other imbalance,
00:11:32.65\00:11:35.26
but help the body by following
00:11:35.29\00:11:36.62
the simple
principles of health, nutrition,
00:11:36.69\00:11:38.69
and exercises,
sunlight, and water, and trust,
00:11:38.73\00:11:43.60
and air, and rest,
00:11:43.63\00:11:45.10
and all of these
intemperance, of course,
00:11:45.13\00:11:47.07
all of these things
which is good for us.
00:11:47.10\00:11:49.34
This is very, very important
00:11:49.37\00:11:51.17
because if we
continue to have this headache
00:11:51.21\00:11:53.64
over and over and over again,
00:11:53.71\00:11:55.31
it's not gonna help us.
00:11:55.34\00:11:56.68
If we just find a quick fix,
but what is causing a headache?
00:11:56.71\00:11:59.28
Is it maybe even cheese,
00:11:59.31\00:12:01.22
cheese has certain
items and it got tyramine
00:12:01.25\00:12:03.79
and that will cause the
headaches that come once,
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.86
some people are
allergic to it as well.
00:12:06.89\00:12:09.79
Why do we get that cold and flu?
00:12:09.82\00:12:11.19
Sometimes we may be overworking,
00:12:11.23\00:12:12.96
you know what I mean?
00:12:12.99\00:12:14.30
Sometimes when you overwork
and it's really, it's not funny
00:12:14.36\00:12:17.03
but it's
interesting when you overwork,
00:12:17.07\00:12:19.00
unfortunately,
you get sick, right?
00:12:19.03\00:12:20.70
Then you go to
the doc and say, "Doc,
00:12:20.74\00:12:22.27
what can I do to get
rid of this cold and flu?"
00:12:22.30\00:12:24.17
Can the doctor give you
medication to get rid of it?
00:12:24.21\00:12:26.17
No, not quite.
What does doctor do?
00:12:26.21\00:12:27.84
Doctor says, "Look here,
00:12:27.88\00:12:29.21
what I need you
to do, number one,
00:12:29.24\00:12:30.61
I can give you some stuff
00:12:30.65\00:12:32.01
to get rid of the
signs and the symptoms
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.35
or the symptoms
of this situation.
00:12:34.38\00:12:36.55
But what you have to
do, you have to go home,
00:12:36.58\00:12:38.72
stop working so much.
00:12:38.75\00:12:40.12
Here's a note to give to
your job or to your school
00:12:40.16\00:12:42.46
that you don't
have to go to work,
00:12:42.49\00:12:43.83
because you need what?
00:12:43.89\00:12:45.23
Rest. Drink lots of what? Fluid.
00:12:45.26\00:12:47.30
Also eat some good, what?
00:12:47.36\00:12:48.70
Soup or
something of that nature,
00:12:48.73\00:12:50.43
get some fresh air."
00:12:50.50\00:12:52.03
If you know
this, all of the things
00:12:52.07\00:12:53.67
that they're sharing
with you is the things
00:12:53.70\00:12:55.94
that would help
you get better, right?
00:12:55.97\00:12:57.84
But watch this, if we
just did it in the beginning,
00:12:57.87\00:13:00.98
then, hey, maybe
we wouldn't get sick.
00:13:01.01\00:13:03.21
So always remember
these little principles,
00:13:03.24\00:13:04.85
always found in
ministry of healing
00:13:04.88\00:13:06.58
is, is, is restorative
power is not per se in drugs
00:13:06.61\00:13:10.59
but it's in nature.
00:13:10.62\00:13:12.25
And that's what
we're gonna focus on today,
00:13:12.29\00:13:13.96
is looking at some
of the restoring power
00:13:13.99\00:13:15.82
in different herbs,
and foods, and stuff,
00:13:15.86\00:13:17.86
that is helpful for us,
and helpful for the body.
00:13:17.89\00:13:20.20
But here's my little disclaimer,
00:13:20.23\00:13:21.53
I don't want no
trouble with anybody.
00:13:21.56\00:13:23.47
If your doctor
has you on medication,
00:13:23.53\00:13:25.67
are we saying,
come off the medication?
00:13:25.70\00:13:27.04
No way, Jose. All right.
00:13:27.10\00:13:28.87
I guess, they can call
Jessica or something like that.
00:13:28.90\00:13:31.31
Oh, no, just no way.
00:13:31.34\00:13:33.11
Just go ahead,
follow the instructions
00:13:33.14\00:13:34.81
but do what you can.
00:13:34.84\00:13:36.28
And if you start
using some medicinal plants,
00:13:36.31\00:13:38.55
make sure you
let your doctor know.
00:13:38.58\00:13:41.05
A lot of people are
lying to their physician.
00:13:41.08\00:13:43.02
The doctor ask them,
00:13:43.05\00:13:44.39
"Are you taking
your medication?"
00:13:44.42\00:13:46.19
And they, no,
they're not taking,
00:13:46.22\00:13:47.82
they got a three or
four bottles full at home
00:13:47.86\00:13:50.49
and they're taking other things.
00:13:50.53\00:13:52.06
One day she says,
00:13:52.09\00:13:53.46
"I have my blood
pressure under control."
00:13:53.50\00:13:55.33
I said, "Really, do
you want it under control?
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.53
Or you want to get rid
of high blood pressure?"
00:13:57.57\00:13:59.13
So she says, "Well, you know,
00:13:59.17\00:14:00.57
I can only keep
it under control."
00:14:00.64\00:14:01.97
So I ask this simple question,
00:14:02.00\00:14:03.34
"How do you have
it under control?
00:14:03.37\00:14:04.71
What are you doing?"
00:14:04.74\00:14:06.07
She said, "I'll
do it all naturally."
00:14:06.11\00:14:07.44
All natural, I
said, "What do you mean?"
00:14:07.48\00:14:08.81
She's taken 5,000
milligrams of garlic.
00:14:08.84\00:14:12.88
Like, hello, anybody
that takes that much garlic,
00:14:12.91\00:14:15.88
your blood pressure is gonna
be like at attention, yes, sir.
00:14:15.92\00:14:18.59
You know, it's not gonna act up
'cause it's under, all of this,
00:14:18.62\00:14:21.36
and garlic is good
for our blood pressure.
00:14:21.39\00:14:22.92
But what happens?
00:14:22.96\00:14:24.33
I have a quick question
for everybody, are you ready?
00:14:24.36\00:14:26.13
What happens now
00:14:26.16\00:14:28.36
if you come off of that
5,000 milligrams of garlic?
00:14:28.40\00:14:31.90
The blood pressure will go what?
00:14:31.93\00:14:33.34
Right back up.
00:14:33.40\00:14:34.74
So that lets us know we
haven't solved the problem,
00:14:34.77\00:14:37.01
we have to get to the
source of the problem.
00:14:37.07\00:14:38.81
It's like a
faucet, if the faucet is on
00:14:38.84\00:14:40.78
and the sink is clogged
up, the water is overflowing.
00:14:40.84\00:14:42.84
What is the first
thing you're gonna do?
00:14:42.88\00:14:44.21
Are you gonna unclog it?
Are you gonna mop up the floor?
00:14:44.25\00:14:46.25
No, you're gonna turn
off the source of the water,
00:14:46.28\00:14:49.28
then you're gonna
try to solve the problem,
00:14:49.32\00:14:51.39
intelligently
removing the cause,
00:14:51.42\00:14:53.12
what has clogged up the sink
00:14:53.15\00:14:54.52
and then you're
gonna start to cleanup.
00:14:54.56\00:14:56.06
So let's do that today
00:14:56.09\00:14:57.93
and we're gonna look
at a couple of herbs,
00:14:57.96\00:14:59.29
some simple ones.
00:14:59.33\00:15:01.16
One in particular is peppermint,
00:15:01.20\00:15:02.63
I found some old
peppermint leaves
00:15:02.66\00:15:04.17
or something like that.
00:15:04.20\00:15:05.53
You know how
they look or whatever.
00:15:05.57\00:15:07.04
So there are some
old peppermint leaves
00:15:07.07\00:15:09.20
that you can use.
00:15:09.24\00:15:10.61
Peppermint is very good.
00:15:10.64\00:15:12.14
However, these
are medicinal plants.
00:15:12.17\00:15:14.34
So follow with me closely.
00:15:14.38\00:15:15.71
If they are plant and
they work like medicine,
00:15:15.74\00:15:18.28
that means we
should only use them
00:15:18.31\00:15:20.22
for their medicinal purpose.
00:15:20.25\00:15:22.42
Does that make
sense? You get that?
00:15:22.45\00:15:24.19
So if it's a plant
and it works medicinally,
00:15:24.22\00:15:26.86
like medicine,
00:15:26.89\00:15:28.22
then you should only
use it for its purpose.
00:15:28.26\00:15:29.59
I have a question for you.
00:15:29.62\00:15:30.96
If you do not have diabetes
00:15:30.99\00:15:32.33
and I give you
diabetic medication
00:15:32.36\00:15:34.00
and say, "Hey,
please take this."
00:15:34.00\00:15:35.33
Will you take it?
00:15:35.36\00:15:36.70
Mostly you're
like, obviously not,
00:15:36.73\00:15:38.07
'cause I don't have diabetes.
00:15:38.10\00:15:39.67
So why are we taking
00:15:39.70\00:15:41.04
all of these
excess medicinal plants
00:15:41.07\00:15:43.57
and we are not sick?
00:15:43.61\00:15:45.24
This is the
question that we have.
00:15:45.27\00:15:46.94
So let us not use
things unnecessarily,
00:15:46.98\00:15:49.68
well, 'cause let's say,
I am using it unnecessarily
00:15:49.71\00:15:52.25
and I do get sick, then
the body develops a what?
00:15:52.28\00:15:55.18
The resistance
or immunity to it.
00:15:55.22\00:15:57.35
So what we want to do
is, learn about these plants
00:15:57.39\00:15:59.92
that work like medicine
and use it for their purpose.
00:15:59.95\00:16:02.62
I'll tell you in
one case real quick.
00:16:02.66\00:16:05.59
I was in one
little island, okay?
00:16:05.63\00:16:07.76
And I won't tell
you which island,
00:16:07.76\00:16:09.10
and everybody in this
island was drinking this,
00:16:09.13\00:16:10.87
these herbs and one
was called, fever grass,
00:16:10.90\00:16:14.07
and another one is
lemon grass, and bush tea,
00:16:14.14\00:16:17.21
and all of these things.
00:16:17.24\00:16:18.57
And we were asking,
"What are you using this for?"
00:16:18.61\00:16:21.31
They say, "Oh, we heard
it's good for diabetes."
00:16:21.34\00:16:23.18
So we asked them
a simple question,
00:16:23.21\00:16:24.55
"Do you have diabetes?"
00:16:24.58\00:16:26.11
They said, "No.
00:16:26.15\00:16:27.52
That's why we're taking it
'cause we don't want diabetes."
00:16:27.55\00:16:29.42
So I said, "If you
don't have diabetes,
00:16:29.45\00:16:30.79
why are you
using medicine for it?"
00:16:30.82\00:16:32.15
They said, "'Cause we
don't want the problem."
00:16:32.19\00:16:33.56
But you know what?
00:16:33.59\00:16:34.92
So nobody in that area
in general had diabetes
00:16:34.96\00:16:36.83
but everybody had
high blood pressure, why?
00:16:36.86\00:16:39.03
Because certain
plants work like medicine.
00:16:39.06\00:16:40.90
Did you know even
plants have side effects?
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.16
And I'll explain
that shortly here to you.
00:16:43.20\00:16:44.87
So as a result,
certain plants have
00:16:44.90\00:16:46.80
what is known as
vasoconstrictive properties.
00:16:46.84\00:16:49.30
All right?
00:16:49.34\00:16:50.67
So what are
vasoconstrictive properties?
00:16:50.71\00:16:52.24
These properties are
things that cause the arteries
00:16:52.27\00:16:54.48
and the blood vessels
to constrict a little bit.
00:16:54.51\00:16:56.48
So if you cause that
constriction to take place,
00:16:56.51\00:16:58.78
the blood has to
still go through,
00:16:58.81\00:17:00.48
so then what happens
to your blood pressure?
00:17:00.55\00:17:01.88
It goes high.
00:17:01.92\00:17:03.62
So a lot of times,
00:17:03.65\00:17:04.99
it's not what we can
take for the problem,
00:17:05.02\00:17:06.52
it's ascertaining, number one,
00:17:06.55\00:17:08.22
the true cause of the problem
00:17:08.26\00:17:10.06
and then working
intelligently to remove that.
00:17:10.09\00:17:11.99
So I'm gonna take
one medicinal plant,
00:17:12.03\00:17:13.46
when you think of herbs
and drinking teas and stuff,
00:17:13.53\00:17:15.73
and that's what
I'm talking about,
00:17:15.76\00:17:17.10
using medicine unnecessarily
like in a form of tea,
00:17:17.17\00:17:20.14
which one do you
think are most importantly?
00:17:20.17\00:17:22.10
A lot of people
think of peppermint.
00:17:22.14\00:17:24.61
Peppermint tea, or mint tea.
00:17:24.64\00:17:26.88
Now this thing tastes good.
00:17:26.91\00:17:28.24
Actually I grew
up on this stuff.
00:17:28.28\00:17:30.25
We used to take
peppermint and just,
00:17:30.28\00:17:32.28
with that powder or soy
milk, I used to love it.
00:17:32.31\00:17:35.75
But we realized after
sometime that it tastes good
00:17:35.78\00:17:38.75
but at the same time,
00:17:38.79\00:17:40.16
it's probably
not the best thing.
00:17:40.19\00:17:41.52
Why?
00:17:41.56\00:17:42.89
Let's look at what
peppermint is actually good for.
00:17:42.92\00:17:44.33
Peppermint is good,
it's an invigorator, okay?
00:17:44.36\00:17:47.76
Peppermint helps
with muscle aches
00:17:47.83\00:17:49.73
and different
items of that nature,
00:17:49.76\00:17:51.53
so peppermint is fantastic,
00:17:51.57\00:17:53.60
it also works to
fight against viruses.
00:17:53.64\00:17:57.91
But if I'm drinking
peppermint tea everyday,
00:17:57.94\00:18:00.54
let's say I get a cold or flu,
00:18:00.61\00:18:01.94
and then I try to use
peppermint tea again for it,
00:18:01.98\00:18:04.18
will it work?
00:18:04.21\00:18:05.55
Not quite.
00:18:05.58\00:18:06.92
It won't have the same efficacy,
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.28
that means its power, its punch.
00:18:08.32\00:18:10.42
And so that's why I
keep the peppermint tea aside
00:18:10.45\00:18:13.79
and I only use it when I
feel a little itch in the throat
00:18:13.82\00:18:16.22
because it has
antiviral properties,
00:18:16.26\00:18:18.59
that means, you know, drink it,
00:18:18.63\00:18:20.43
you make a tea out of
it and drink it inside.
00:18:20.46\00:18:22.50
How was it also good?
00:18:22.53\00:18:23.87
It helps to fight
against hepatitis as well,
00:18:23.90\00:18:26.33
because it's a anti what?
00:18:26.37\00:18:28.14
Viral.
00:18:28.17\00:18:29.50
Many people say, "Olive
oil is good for muscle aches
00:18:29.54\00:18:31.27
and bone aches."
00:18:31.31\00:18:32.64
Yes, but not internally,
00:18:32.67\00:18:34.51
you have to use what is
known as peppermint oil essence,
00:18:34.54\00:18:37.55
and you take that essence
00:18:37.58\00:18:38.91
and you rub it on
the affected areas,
00:18:38.95\00:18:40.98
the areas where it
hurts and it works very good.
00:18:41.02\00:18:43.89
However, when you look
at that peppermint essence
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.92
or that oil, how much is it?
00:18:45.95\00:18:48.09
That stuff is not cheap at all.
00:18:48.12\00:18:50.33
So today, I want to
share with you a little recipe.
00:18:50.36\00:18:53.40
This one, you,
however, you won't drink,
00:18:53.43\00:18:54.93
you just apply
it on the outside.
00:18:54.96\00:18:56.63
A little quick recipe
00:18:56.67\00:18:58.00
on how we can make our
own peppermint oil essence.
00:18:58.03\00:19:00.77
When you look at
the price sometimes,
00:19:00.80\00:19:02.14
it is $30, $40 for a
little bottle like this.
00:19:02.17\00:19:05.14
So if you have a garden,
dig a hole, throw some...
00:19:05.17\00:19:08.98
Plant, some peppermint in there,
00:19:09.01\00:19:10.58
and now you can have
your own healing bond.
00:19:10.61\00:19:13.31
And here is the simple recipe
for a peppermint oil essence
00:19:13.35\00:19:16.72
for the healing of the nation.
00:19:16.75\00:19:18.09
And all you
need here today is...
00:19:18.12\00:19:20.49
Like literally, it's
that simple, that easy,
00:19:30.47\00:19:33.44
you can make your own
peppermint oil essence.
00:19:33.47\00:19:35.57
However, it
doesn't happen overnight,
00:19:35.60\00:19:36.94
it's gonna take a
little time and effort
00:19:37.01\00:19:38.91
and this is something
that we should all implement.
00:19:38.94\00:19:41.24
Now today, I didn't
even have another glass jar,
00:19:41.28\00:19:43.28
so I use two clear ones
00:19:43.35\00:19:44.98
but you can put
it in a dark room
00:19:45.01\00:19:47.02
or something of that
nature to help it to go ahead
00:19:47.05\00:19:50.29
and develop its concentration.
00:19:50.32\00:19:52.02
So what I have here
is a bunch of leaves
00:19:52.05\00:19:54.82
and let me just pull
that over here to show you.
00:19:54.86\00:19:57.16
These are just
the peppermint leaves,
00:19:57.23\00:19:58.76
you can put as many as you want,
00:19:58.79\00:20:00.13
it doesn't have
to be one or two,
00:20:00.20\00:20:01.50
some even dried out on me.
00:20:01.53\00:20:02.86
But, hey, work
with what you have,
00:20:02.90\00:20:04.23
all right?
00:20:04.27\00:20:05.60
So you take that over,
you just put that there
00:20:05.63\00:20:07.30
and you want to just
crush it a little bit,
00:20:07.34\00:20:09.90
just press it to
like break it up.
00:20:09.97\00:20:11.41
If you have the fresh
ones, that's always best,
00:20:11.44\00:20:14.18
but I say, hey,
this is what you have,
00:20:14.24\00:20:16.38
so that doesn't mean
you should stop your recipe,
00:20:16.41\00:20:18.31
so you go ahead and crush that,
00:20:18.35\00:20:19.91
then you'll take these
leaves, okay, you take them,
00:20:19.98\00:20:23.55
you put them...
00:20:23.59\00:20:24.92
Oh, man, this is smelling good.
00:20:24.95\00:20:26.42
You put them in
a glass jar there,
00:20:26.45\00:20:28.62
all right?
00:20:28.66\00:20:30.03
You can use a
cheesecloth as well
00:20:30.09\00:20:33.60
to press it on or whatever,
00:20:33.66\00:20:35.53
because you'll need
to strain it, all right?
00:20:35.56\00:20:37.50
Then you'll take that olive oil
00:20:37.53\00:20:39.97
and you'll pour that
on top of that, all right?
00:20:40.00\00:20:42.67
So we'll get that going,
00:20:42.70\00:20:44.04
there's many different
ways that you can make.
00:20:44.07\00:20:45.41
This is just like a simple one,
00:20:45.44\00:20:47.01
the one that you can
almost do with your eyes closed
00:20:47.04\00:20:50.21
and you'll close that up there.
00:20:50.28\00:20:51.78
And what I'm gonna do,
I'm just gonna mix it around,
00:20:51.81\00:20:53.85
just mix it around,
00:20:53.88\00:20:55.22
and maybe if, I
don't move too much.
00:20:55.25\00:20:58.25
I'll just keep
mixing it, of course,
00:20:58.29\00:21:01.96
you want to let that
also sit for some time
00:21:01.99\00:21:05.59
and the whole place
is smelling like mint.
00:21:05.63\00:21:07.30
Oh, man, this
smells really good,
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.33
makes me want to go
ahead and drink some tea.
00:21:09.36\00:21:11.43
Here's the only thing
like that mint is really good.
00:21:11.47\00:21:13.70
But when you have it too much,
00:21:13.74\00:21:15.40
I remember I was working with...
00:21:15.44\00:21:16.77
It may cause some problems.
00:21:16.81\00:21:18.14
I was working with a
family and the family said,
00:21:18.17\00:21:19.77
"Please, help our son.
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.61
He never goes to sleep on time.
00:21:21.64\00:21:24.35
He's always irritating.
00:21:24.38\00:21:25.95
He always wants to fight
with his brothers and sisters."
00:21:25.98\00:21:28.25
And I asked them a
couple of quick questions.
00:21:28.28\00:21:29.95
I said, "Look, number one,
is he eating late at night?"
00:21:29.98\00:21:32.42
And she says, "No, no.
00:21:32.45\00:21:33.82
He is a good, you
know, he eats with us,
00:21:33.86\00:21:35.82
he only eats twice a day."
00:21:35.86\00:21:37.49
As you see there,
just the mint and oil.
00:21:37.53\00:21:40.26
"He only eats twice a day."
00:21:40.30\00:21:42.20
I said, "You know,
are there other problems?
00:21:42.23\00:21:44.03
What do you all
do at night time?
00:21:44.10\00:21:45.50
Do you watch TV?
00:21:45.53\00:21:46.87
Is he playing videogames?"
She says, "No, no, no.
00:21:46.90\00:21:48.54
We get around, we have worship
and not only do we have worship
00:21:48.57\00:21:51.64
but we have worship
and we have a cup of tea."
00:21:51.67\00:21:54.04
I said, "Excuse me.
00:21:54.11\00:21:55.44
What did you all have?"
00:21:55.48\00:21:56.81
"A cup of tea."
"What kind of tea?"
00:21:56.85\00:21:58.18
"Mint tea."
00:21:58.21\00:21:59.55
And I said, what about
him? What about the little one?
00:21:59.58\00:22:00.98
They said, "Oh,
he loves mint tea.
00:22:01.02\00:22:02.58
A matter of fact, he
has two cups of mint tea."
00:22:02.62\00:22:04.92
Do you know that when
you use peppermint essence
00:22:04.95\00:22:07.59
or peppermint in general
00:22:07.66\00:22:08.99
and high doses of
mint a lot all the time,
00:22:09.02\00:22:11.46
it provokes
actually, irritability.
00:22:11.49\00:22:14.10
And so I said, "Ma'am,
all you want to do is go ahead
00:22:14.10\00:22:17.53
and just pull
back that mint tea."
00:22:17.57\00:22:19.07
She said, "What are we
gonna drink at night time?"
00:22:19.10\00:22:21.24
You're just gonna
drink some nice warm water.
00:22:21.27\00:22:23.61
Is that too hard?
You know what I mean?
00:22:23.67\00:22:25.31
But what happens is a lot of us,
00:22:25.34\00:22:26.94
we will die if
we don't have tea.
00:22:26.98\00:22:29.54
The reason why that is
and I'll tell you here,
00:22:29.58\00:22:31.78
is because we
have been taught this,
00:22:31.81\00:22:34.22
over the years, mom, grandma,
we woke up in the morning,
00:22:34.28\00:22:37.19
they always were having hot tea,
00:22:37.25\00:22:39.09
there's a lot of habits
00:22:39.12\00:22:40.46
that we developed
not per se on our own
00:22:40.52\00:22:42.86
but has been passed
down, remember it says,
00:22:42.89\00:22:45.13
sometimes it passed
to the second, and third,
00:22:45.16\00:22:46.76
and fourth generation.
00:22:46.80\00:22:48.26
It's just that we
developed these habits
00:22:48.30\00:22:50.00
and now we think it's
impossible to go to sleep
00:22:50.03\00:22:52.10
without a hot tea.
00:22:52.13\00:22:53.47
It's impossible to
wake up in the morning
00:22:53.50\00:22:54.84
without a hot tea,
00:22:54.87\00:22:56.20
and it's not even your fault.
00:22:56.24\00:22:57.57
You just pray and
say "Lord, help me
00:22:57.61\00:22:58.94
to use these plants as medicine
but only for their purpose."
00:22:58.97\00:23:02.61
Only for their
purpose, all right?
00:23:02.64\00:23:04.05
So we're not done yet
00:23:04.08\00:23:05.41
with this
peppermint oil essence.
00:23:05.45\00:23:07.72
What you need to do...
00:23:07.75\00:23:09.58
As you see here,
I'll take this out.
00:23:09.62\00:23:11.25
You take a little strainer
or you can use a cheesecloth
00:23:11.29\00:23:13.69
and you just
follow along with me here.
00:23:13.76\00:23:15.96
And you take that, and
you pour that out, okay?
00:23:15.99\00:23:19.63
So you pour that
into the next one there
00:23:19.66\00:23:22.23
and I'm just making a mess,
if you could do it, well, good.
00:23:22.26\00:23:24.87
I think that came up.
00:23:24.90\00:23:26.23
You pour that there,
00:23:26.27\00:23:27.60
and you'll do this
actually a couple of times.
00:23:27.64\00:23:30.21
You mash it, and you take that,
00:23:30.27\00:23:32.87
you store that in a
dark area if you can.
00:23:32.91\00:23:36.08
And then the next
time, you run it again,
00:23:36.11\00:23:38.15
but you get fresh...
00:23:38.18\00:23:39.51
You get more leaves, you
get fresh leaves, you pound it,
00:23:39.55\00:23:42.05
and you use this same oil,
00:23:42.08\00:23:43.45
and you develop
its concentration
00:23:43.49\00:23:45.65
more and more and more.
00:23:45.69\00:23:47.12
I'm just speeding
up the process here.
00:23:47.16\00:23:49.22
So this is a simple way
00:23:49.26\00:23:50.69
that you can make
peppermint oil essence.
00:23:50.73\00:23:53.76
Now how do you use this?
00:23:53.80\00:23:55.10
You remember, we
were talking about
00:23:55.13\00:23:56.46
how it's good for
muscles and our muscle aches.
00:23:56.50\00:23:59.17
You take this essence
00:23:59.20\00:24:00.74
and you rub it on
the affected area,
00:24:00.77\00:24:02.67
you rub it there.
00:24:02.70\00:24:04.04
So for the
ladies who have little,
00:24:04.11\00:24:05.44
I call it, little
muffly situations.
00:24:05.47\00:24:07.68
Number one, of course, remember,
00:24:07.71\00:24:09.04
ascertain a true cause.
00:24:09.08\00:24:10.45
Why do we have this
situation, these spasms?
00:24:10.48\00:24:11.81
It's 'cause sometimes, you know,
00:24:11.85\00:24:13.31
we're not drinking enough water,
00:24:13.35\00:24:15.68
sometimes we may
be using so much sugar
00:24:15.72\00:24:17.42
or different
items of that nature.
00:24:17.49\00:24:18.82
So what you want to do
is find out the true cause,
00:24:18.85\00:24:20.56
even stress will
cause muscle pains,
00:24:20.59\00:24:23.43
you know, as well.
00:24:23.46\00:24:24.79
And so after you
do that, now if you...
00:24:24.83\00:24:27.20
Drink a lot more water.
00:24:27.23\00:24:28.53
Now you take that
oil, that essence,
00:24:28.56\00:24:30.03
and you rub it on
the affected area.
00:24:30.07\00:24:31.70
If you could get
the concentration higher
00:24:31.73\00:24:33.13
by using, by making it a
couple of times and, voila,
00:24:33.17\00:24:36.30
you already have that
situation taking care.
00:24:36.34\00:24:39.54
That is how simple it
is, peppermint oil essence.
00:24:39.57\00:24:42.94
And there's a couple
more herbs that is really good
00:24:42.98\00:24:44.91
and matter of fact, most of
us have them in our kitchen.
00:24:44.95\00:24:48.62
And I'll show you over here,
I have, I just went to the,
00:24:48.65\00:24:51.12
you know, the pantry there
00:24:51.15\00:24:52.49
and I pulled out some
of my spices and herbs.
00:24:52.52\00:24:55.92
Okay. Now let me just
make a note of that actually.
00:24:55.96\00:24:58.16
There's a difference
between spices and herbs.
00:24:58.19\00:25:00.43
Your spices are
your more hot items
00:25:00.46\00:25:02.53
such as, your
peppers, and your cinnamon,
00:25:02.56\00:25:04.60
and the clove, and the nutmeg,
00:25:04.63\00:25:06.84
and all of these things.
00:25:06.87\00:25:08.20
Now those are spices.
00:25:08.24\00:25:09.57
Your herbs are more green items.
00:25:09.60\00:25:11.41
They're delicate and medicinal.
00:25:11.44\00:25:13.17
So as many people know that
even nutmeg can be poisonous.
00:25:13.21\00:25:15.71
How is that?
00:25:15.74\00:25:17.08
Because nutmeg has a item,
a alkali called myristicin,
00:25:17.15\00:25:21.58
which depresses the
central nervous system.
00:25:21.62\00:25:24.35
Do you know kids, way
back in like the '60s,
00:25:24.39\00:25:26.96
they used to take nutmeg and,
you know, they grind it down
00:25:26.99\00:25:30.63
and they take a
little sniff of it?
00:25:30.66\00:25:32.56
And what it would do,
00:25:32.59\00:25:33.93
it will produce a
feeling of just like,
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.73
"Hey, everything is
cool, and how are you?"
00:25:35.76\00:25:38.20
You know what I mean?
00:25:38.23\00:25:39.57
Because it starts to
depress the nervous system,
00:25:39.60\00:25:41.44
so we encourage you to hold off,
00:25:41.47\00:25:42.80
instead of using
nutmeg in your meals,
00:25:42.84\00:25:45.84
you can use what
is known as cardamom.
00:25:45.87\00:25:47.91
Instead of cinnamon,
00:25:47.94\00:25:49.28
you can use what
is known as coriander.
00:25:49.31\00:25:51.78
These are just
some simple substitutes,
00:25:51.81\00:25:53.31
because those spices,
00:25:53.38\00:25:54.72
what they do is they
irritate the digestive track.
00:25:54.75\00:25:56.89
You have your
black and white peppers,
00:25:56.95\00:25:58.32
even cloves.
00:25:58.35\00:25:59.79
Cloves, I'll talk
about some of my family,
00:25:59.82\00:26:03.19
some of my family is
from a certain island
00:26:03.22\00:26:04.96
and they love using cloves.
00:26:04.99\00:26:06.56
It's like they go into kitchen,
00:26:06.59\00:26:07.93
they take cloves and
they throw it into air.
00:26:07.96\00:26:09.26
It's in everything,
00:26:09.30\00:26:10.67
sometimes it ends up
in a juice or a drink
00:26:10.70\00:26:12.37
and I'm like, "Why are
we using so much cloves?"
00:26:12.40\00:26:14.40
But they're always calling,
00:26:14.44\00:26:15.77
they're complaining
about digestive problem,
00:26:15.80\00:26:17.61
not digestive
problem, but like gas.
00:26:17.64\00:26:18.97
You know what I mean?
00:26:19.01\00:26:20.34
Or extra wind, is what they say.
00:26:20.38\00:26:21.71
And I say, "Well,
00:26:21.74\00:26:23.08
it's not that you can
take another tea for it.
00:26:23.11\00:26:24.78
We need to stop
using these spices."
00:26:24.81\00:26:27.42
'Cause spices do what?
00:26:27.45\00:26:28.78
They irritate, they
irritate, they irritate,
00:26:28.82\00:26:30.19
so the body
tries to protect itself
00:26:30.22\00:26:31.85
by producing more mucous,
and then do you have what?
00:26:31.89\00:26:34.42
A whole gassy situation
and gas is all over the place.
00:26:34.46\00:26:37.99
Sometimes they say, "Oh,
the gas is here, gas is there."
00:26:38.03\00:26:41.03
And I said, "Let's just hold off
00:26:41.06\00:26:42.40
on the excess spices."
00:26:42.43\00:26:43.77
Let's use more of what?
00:26:43.83\00:26:45.17
More herbs.
00:26:45.20\00:26:46.53
And so what are some
herbs that we can use?
00:26:46.57\00:26:47.90
We can use
basil, we can use thyme,
00:26:47.94\00:26:49.97
we can use sage,
and matter of fact,
00:26:50.01\00:26:51.84
basil as well
works naturally there,
00:26:51.87\00:26:54.71
it helps with headaches.
00:26:54.74\00:26:56.34
You have sage, people use
sage for like menstrual cramps,
00:26:56.38\00:27:00.15
so different items.
00:27:00.18\00:27:01.52
And these are all good
00:27:01.55\00:27:02.88
but these are very
delicate and medicinal,
00:27:02.92\00:27:04.69
you can use a turmeric.
00:27:04.72\00:27:06.59
Everybody knows turmeric,
yeah, turmeric is really...
00:27:06.62\00:27:09.49
You know, turmeric here,
00:27:09.52\00:27:10.86
it has what is known
as a COX-2 inhibitor,
00:27:10.89\00:27:12.99
a COX what?
00:27:13.03\00:27:14.36
COX-2 inhibitor, this prevents
these growths of like tumors,
00:27:14.36\00:27:19.10
and cysts, and
fibroids, and stuff.
00:27:19.13\00:27:21.94
However, let me
ask a quick question.
00:27:21.97\00:27:23.41
Is this gonna solve the problem?
00:27:23.44\00:27:25.04
Not quite, it's not gonna solve.
00:27:25.07\00:27:26.54
We have to get to the
source of the problem.
00:27:26.57\00:27:28.01
What's causing these
things to grow in our body?
00:27:28.04\00:27:30.25
What's causing these
lumps in the breasts?
00:27:30.28\00:27:32.71
Even now, did you know?
00:27:32.75\00:27:34.12
Men are
developing breast cancer.
00:27:34.15\00:27:36.15
You don't hear about it much.
00:27:36.18\00:27:37.52
Can you imagine your dad
comes home one day and say,
00:27:37.59\00:27:38.99
"I have breast cancer."
00:27:39.02\00:27:40.36
You're gonna start
looking at him funny,
00:27:40.39\00:27:41.72
you're like, "Are
you really my dad?"
00:27:41.76\00:27:43.09
You know, and so
they don't talk about it
00:27:43.12\00:27:44.46
but these things are happening.
00:27:44.49\00:27:45.83
How?
00:27:45.86\00:27:47.20
By eating certain
products that has like,
00:27:47.23\00:27:48.53
high estrogenic stuff,
00:27:48.56\00:27:49.90
that causes other
things in our bodies to grow.
00:27:49.93\00:27:51.93
But if we just follow
00:27:51.97\00:27:53.30
