"On The Experience of Illness"
I have pleasure in being ill . This pleasure differs with its effect from other pleasure. I have found a sort of tranquility that makes me love illness. The sick (wo)man is safe from peoples strife, demands, dates and appointments, excess of talking, and ringing of telephones. I have found that I am closer to abstract things in my sickness than in health. When I lay my head and close my eyes and lose myself to the world, I find myself flying like a bird over serene valleys and forests, wrapped in a gentle veil. I see myself close to those whom my heart has loved, calling and talking to them, but without anger and with the same feelings they feel and the same thoughts they think. They lay their hands now and then upon my forehead to bless me. (Kahlil Gibran: A Self-Portrait sp-p-34)
"A Merry Heart doeth good like a medicine." Prov. 17:22
The spirit is the master; imagination the tool, and the body the plastic material ...The power of the imagination is a great factor in medicine. It may produce diseases in man and in animals, and it may cure them ...Ills of the body may be cured by physical remedies or by the power of the spirit acting through the soul.
"Its the dose that makes the poison."
- Paracelsus, famous medieval alchemist. "The Father of Medicine""On Care Giving"
Endowed with five qualities, monks, is one who tends the sick fit to tend the sick; (s)he comes to be competent to provide the medicine; (s)he knows what is beneficial and what is not beneficial; (s)he takes avay what is not beneficial and brings forward what is beneficial; (s)he tends the sick (from) amity of mind, not in the hope of gain; (s)he does not become one who is loathe to remove excrement or urine or sweat or vomit; (s)he comes to be competent to gladden... delight the sick from time to time with DHAMMA-talk. Endowed with these five qualities, monks, is one who tends the sick fit to tend the sick. {Buddah}

The shea nut is a tree crop plant that grows in the Savanna Grassland on the West Coast of Africa. The tree grows to a height of about 55-60 feet. Shea Butter & Shea Butter Black Soap
Millions of shea nut fruits are harvested in the raining season within the months of May-August. The fruit is very delicious. The shea nut seeds are collected and usually sun dried.
At the end of the [rainy] season when the nuts are well cured and dried, they are threshed and picked to separate the white nuts from the yellow nuts. The grinding process is the most tedious [one] in the production system because the shea nut seed is as hard as a pebble. In West Africa, we do not have grinding machines. Big size wooden mortars are used to pound the nuts to powder.
The powdered shea nuts are boiled in extra large clay pots for 4 or 5 days. The effervescent [foam] is collected and this is the end product, 100% Natural Shea Butter.
Note that the shea nuts were separated during the threshing and picking process into [two grades] white and yellow shea nut seeds. These nuts although produced on the same branch during the [growing] season, have different characterisitics.
The white shea nut processed separately will produce white shea butter (off white color). The yellow nuts produce yellow shea butter (yellow color). If and when the producer does not take the time to separate the nuts before processing, the end product will not be [fit] shea butter. The butter produced from such a [inferior] process is very corrosive butter that can not be applied topically.
The corrosive shea butter, plus the shea nut shaft, the residue of the processed nuts, some cut branches and leaves of the shea nut tree at the time of harvest are put together and burnt to ashes. The ashes are gathered into large clay pots and boiled for 4-5 days.
Thick layers of foam, bubble to the top of the boiling liquid. It is carefully collected and left on a surface to solidify. This product is 100% Natural Shea Butter Black Soap.
This process of making black soap was developed in Africa by our forefathers and the technical know how is handed down from generation to generation. It has therefore become a tradition of the Land and a culture of the people which is embraced because it enhances good Health and a better life. Shea Butter and Shea Butter Black Soap have numerous uses and advantages.
Helps prevent ashy skin, chapping, chafing, rashes (such as psoriasis, eczema etc.). Burn marks, spots on the skin, scars (including old scars), stretch marks (including old stretch marks), and keloids will fade away. Wrinkles and aging soft skin tissue, firm up. Rejuvenation of the pores from normal to oily and blemished skin.Shea Butter Uses
Apply shea butter to the scalp to help forestall the weak hair from breaking, fading, or thinning out.
Use as a hair treatment and regular dressing oil. With shea butter on the scalp, there is absolutely no room for down drops or scalp sores to develop.
If you have arthritis ache, joint pains or muscular ache, massage shea butter into the area.
Shea Butter is used in the Pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
In Africa it is used in cooking daily foods.
Traditionally in African religion, shea butter is the oil and the food of the Orisha (Gods): Obatala, Songo, Olokun, and Orumila.
Shea Butter Black Soap has a deep cleaning effect.Shea Butter Black Soap
It is a very sharp soap and would not leave a film on the skin; it suds almost like a bubble bath.
Cleans the body deep into the pores to activate the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin.
The antiseptic effect of the soap prevents rashes, itch, dry and scaly skin from developing.

Phone: 718-798-3962Shea Butter is made from the seeds of the Shea Butter Tree. it is traditionally used for cooking and flavoring foods instead of lard and other unnatural fats.
Shea Butter is mainly used externally to nourish, heal, and clear up the skin, used regularly it rids the skin of marks, wrinkles, blemishes, rashes, discolorations, softens hard knots, and smooths over rough skin. Warm Shea Butter massages into joints, and relieves muscle aches and pains. Shea Butter protects the skin in both hot and cold weather by providing a protective layer that prevents sunburn and cracking. Shea Butter is used as a salve to get rid of ringworm and other parasitic skin eruptions.
And to make this a true tour de force here are some valid URL's collected at the time of writing (4AUG99, revised and updated 20MAY2K6):
First off, here are links to pictures of the tree, its fruit and nut kernals and one of the leaves.
Here you may find a PDF fact sheet on the history and uses and simple page in HTML.
A French commercial site "Teco Finance Export" with extensive information on the fat obtained from the fruits of the Butyrospermum parkii Kotschy, Sapotaceae, tree including shelf-life and a CAUTION: Shea Butter can be a mild eye irritant, treatment flush with water for 15 minutes and see Physician if irritation continues.
A detailed and straightforward step by step process sheet for those interested in the making of Shea Butter, it seems all Shea Butters are not created equal, some are made with the more efficient method of extraction involving the use of the solvent hexane. The upshot of what they say, is that this method though cheaper produces a product that is inferior to the one from traditional labor intensive methods. There is also a third method of extraction, cold-pressing and this process is primarily done in France by big business and like the solvent method threatens the livelihood of West African women and their families.

ZHENG GU SHUI (Hit Juice)
INGREDIENTS
Radix Notoginseng Rhizoma Curcumae
Cinnamomum Camphora Radi Angelicae Dahuricae
Moghania Philippinencis Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati
Mentholum Camphora
DESCRIPTIONZheng Gu Shui is a red-brown clear liquid with aromatic smell.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Research on pharmacodynamics shows that:
1. Observations on the histology of mice fracture and osteotylus show that Zheng Gu Shui can promote the curing of mice fracture when applied externally.
2. Zheng Gu Shui can promote the healing of rat fracture, which shows that it has the tendency to build up the resistance to fracture.
3. Zheng Gu Shui can obviously reduce the proportion of ecchymosis, which shows that it can promote the absorption of local ecchymoma.
4. Zheng Gu Shui has an action of expanding rabbit auricular blood vessel.
5. Zheng Gu Shui has an action of greatly improving petechia and edema caused by external injury to the foot.
6. Zheng Gu Shui has a certain inhibitory effect on mice auricle inflammation induced by croton oil.
7. Zheng Gu Shui has an obvious anti-inflammatory effect on mice toe inflammation induced by carrageenin.
8. Zheng Gu Shui can noticeably increase the threshold value of pain induced by acetic acid.
Research on toxicology shows that:
1. Acute toxicity test:
1) Reaction on undamaged skin: 10ml of the medicine, applied with gauze, were externally administered to ratĄ¯s unhaired dorsal skin with the area of 6 × 6cm2 within 24 hours. No death or abnormality was observed in terms of ratĄ¯s appetite, spirit or diachormea, nor was it observed 7 days after suspension of this medicine.
2) Reaction on damaged skin: 10ml of the medicine, applied with gauze, were externally administered within 24 hours to ratĄ¯s unhaired dorsal skin which was grazed by sandpaper until oozing of blood. Movements increasing, slow respiration, dyspnea, loss of appetite, even death were observed at different periods in large-dose, medium-dose and small-dose groups. Nevertheless, no pathological changes on organs were found. It is suggested that clinically damaged skin should avoid contact with Zheng Gu Shui.
2. Skin irritation test: Results showed that no irritation reaction was observed when undamaged skin was in contact with Zheng Gu Shui in a single dose, and that no obvious irritation was observed 14 days after continuous contact with Zheng Gu Shui. Back trembling, bleeding under crust and roughness of skin were observed when damaged skin made contact with Zheng Gu Shui in one or more than one dose, but no obvious erythema or edema were observed.
3. Allergic test: No allergic reaction was observed when Zheng Gu Shui was externally used on the undamaged skin.ACTIONS & COMPLAINTS
Action: Invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing and activating tendons, reducing swelling and easing pain. Complaints: traumatic injury, various fracture, dislocating of joints. It can dissipate fatigue before and after exercises.
