Recipe: Peach Pit Infusion

Peach

Prunus persica

I'm sweet, juicy, cooling, and moist,

Relaxing nerves and tissue.

I help you when you're not content

In fact, I like to kiss you!

I allay severe nausea --

This is one of my great gifts,

Especially in pregnancy --

Use my flowers, leaves, or pits.

I am such a beautiful tree,

And I support your liver.

My fuzzy fruit's round and luscious;

Your life flows like a river.
