Java Tea
Java Tea (Orthosiphon spicatus/Orthosiphon aristatus) is found throughout
Southeast Asia and tropical Australia. The fragmented dried leaves and
stem tips are used medicinally. Java Tea leaves have a dry, salty and
bitter taste. The plant can grow up to three feet and has blue to light
violet flowers. Java tea has been used for kidney and bladder stones,
liver and gallbladder problems, urinary tract infections, and rheumatism.
While it's not exactly clear how java tea works, it has been customarily
thought that some or all of the active compounds within java tea help to
open the ureters - the tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder -
allowing small stones to be passed. It is for this reason that java tea is
recommended for improved urinary flow and irrigation of the urinary tract.
In vitro and animal studies demonstrate the diuretic,
antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic effects of java tea. However,
comprehensive and conclusive clinical trials are required, and certainly
warranted, for this herb to be confidently prescribed.
Directions
Stir 1/4 of a teaspoon into a glass of water and consume 3 times daily, with meals.

Snake in the Shrine: Journeys with Nobby through Middle Japan
Summary New Zealander David Geraghty taught English and traveled in Japan for three years in the late 1990s. This text recounts his travels with his neighbor Nobuyuki ("Nobby") and his wife Hiroe. In addition to giving his impressions of Tokyo and Kyoto, Geraghty describes numerous trips into the mountainous rural areas where shrines to the local forest gods are still maintained. Distributed in the U.S. by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Publisher's Notes "David Geraghty taught English and travelled in Japan for three years in the late 1990s. This book is a wonderfully entertaining account of some of his experiences." "The 'journeys' provide an escape from working life in greater Tokyo. Often limited to weekends away in places near the city, they offer a window on a quite different Japan. Many of the trips are made with his neighbour Nobuyuki (the 'Nobby' of the title) and his wife Hiroe. More than once, they take the author to Hiroe's rural family home." A Snake in the Shrine offers cultural insights and intelligent discussion of issues in contemporary Japanese life. It is a book about a Westerner's experiences of living in Japan.
