good african friends

friendly young people who are busy to learn to look for a job, to be able to earn money for their family. they are really good in learning, in communications and work honest without learning or astudy at the university, or special school. Practise and learning by doing. so never they have
the wish to live in another strange world in europe.

an african secret

tigernut or earth-almond

african women, especially the schamanwomen with their great wisdom of
medicine plants and their essences, to use for heath.
when I stayed in Senegal some of them are used to produce a very special
spice with really wonderful aroma. Never I found out which indegriences
they use for it. As i have brought some of it and kept always to remember
this smell. searching my utensils for smoking some of these I found some
nuts, they use tor this special " djuray" . As they do not look beautifull but
the smell is existent inside these nuts. these are almonds or tigernuts a kind of
cyprus grass and down at the roots you find these kind of lumps.
coiling in hot water later cut in very small pieces and mixing up with parfum oil
keep in closed glas bottle. 
On burning charcoal the smoke give all these essences free , for free breathing,
for many other deseases and against the moskito,  an exotic smell, mecine
aphroticum too.  Eucalyptus leaves and bark burning with charcoal a lot more
