Intro / Features

Hey ,

I still say Happy Sunday as, although we are restricted, we are alive and above that, we have a hope!

Today, still on the coronavirus, I'm bringing your attention to an article I shared recently about fever grass (lemon grass) and the coronavirus.

Featured Jamaican Product

Yeah, you guessed it,
This week, my featured Jamaican product is Fever Grass!

Fever Grass also called Lemon Grass or Citronella, is a sort of tall grass that grows wild in Jamaica that has a captivating distinctive citrusy flavour and aroma!

According to leading nutritionist Dr. Anju Sood, the following are some of the amazing health benefits of drinking lemongrass tea.

Good for Digestion
Full of antioxidants
Regulates High Blood Pressure
Boosts Metabolism and Burns Fat
For Naturally Great Skin and Hair
Heals Cold and Flu &

And yes, it is another of the wonder Jamaican products that I promote on my ETSY store at https://etsy.me/3cqUCQb

Did You Know?

... that Jamaica’s water quality is rated as being among the best in the world, and many cruise vessels collect water ONLY IN JAMAICA while on voyages in the region? Jamaica is one of very few countries where the water can regularly be drunk straight from the tap. Read more.

Well, now you know!

Before You Go...

At the time of this writing, we have 163 cases of the coronavirus in Jamaica.
I didn't talk much on that in this edition, but I continue to record the latest.

You can find that at this link: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/coronavirus_in_jamaica.html

Outside of the obvious health implications of those who contract this terrible virus, this pandemic continues to put a strain on many of us both emotionally, financially.

I am still looking forward to hear from you as we seek to #StaySafeAndSane during these times. Click here to share with me and my readers.

Blessings!
