bush medicine

[islandgirl]

hi, been reading about bush medicine or bush tea? where can i get some of this or the ingredients? i know you can get it on island but from who.

I'd start off tracking down Victor Hall at the Domino station in Coral Bay. Victor got quite involved in local plants and their use. The guys at Fire Foods also seem to have some knowledge of local plants. Trinidad Charlie also might be able to point you in the right direction.

This is what I was looking for---Tradewinds had an article about Victor a couple of years ago. Here's the link:

You can purchase lemon grass tea from Sunny Caribbee in Tortola BVI.

Hey, is this the old Lex from this board? If so welcome back. If not, welcome to the new Lex.

Hi JT

Not much gets past you, does it? Yes, I am that Lex. Nice to see you, too.

They almost always have Bush Tea at the airport cafeteria. I noticed it a few years ago & being someone that's always up for new experiences, I tried it and really liked it! I usually get one while waiting for my flight.

Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but Trader Joe's sells South African bush tea (it's organic too )
