Tisane is another word for herbal drink. It technically differs from tea for the fact that there is a specific tea plant called Camellia sinensis.
In a small community in northern Philippines, a little ride north of Vigan City, the UN Heritage site, there is a small emerging permaculture farm. In this farm, is the patriarch who was once an elected council member and a retired official. He was discharged from St.James Hospital in the month of June bedridden, requiring assistance to sit up, cannot eat on his own. He was diagnosed diabetic, with high blood pressure, and having tuberculosis for chain-smoking Marlboro.
After taking in several of the leaves in his farm as food including soursop leaves, moringa as addition in his food, and mulberry leaves as herbal drink, he stopped using insulin by August. Many who knew him personally said his recovery had been amazing.
The small farm now wants to share what has been good to their patriarch by inviting guests to try staying at one of their simple rooms for unlimited tisane drinks every morning.
