Indigestion

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST

for indigestion, use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of fennugreek seeds in a tea ball strainer in one cup of boiling water, ready for tea. Let seep for 10 minutes and sip. If a sweetner is needed try a little honey or sugar. Good for an upset stomach also. It tames too much stomach acid.

Common Cold

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 EST

I was up last night with a sinus cold and fever - body aches, headache, chills, etc. I had read just a few days before (in your herb catalog) that catnip induces sweat and brings a fever down. I made a simple tea with equal parts catnip and echinacea and sipped on it until I had drank two cups. Within 20 minutes, I noticed I was perspiring - the fever was gone, along with...

Bug Repellent

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 EST

Dried herbs and essential oils can be very effective in shielding your pets from fleas and ticks. For example, you can blend 5 drops of juniper oil, 10 drops of lavender oil, and 2 drops of eucalyptus oil in a 8-ounce spritzer bottle of water and spray your pet/areas the pet frequents. You can also make an herbal bug-repellent pillow for a cat or a dog (not a kitten or puppy) by adding equal...

Remedy Your Sinus Infections

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 EST

Years ago, after growing up using lots of antibiotics, I kept getting recurring sinus infections. They were exhausting. I tried not to take antibiotics but they were the only thing which temporarily got rid of the infection..then it would come back...with a vengeance! An M.D. told me that I would be on antibiotics for the rest of my life and always have sinus infections! Finally, a wise and helpful midwife showed me how to...

Mastitis Remedy

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 EST

I am a mom of 6. I have had mastitis in the past, treated with antibiotics. When my 5th child was born, someone told me to put cold green cabbage leaves inside my bra. It works like a charm! The cold leaves feel good and soothing. No more antibiotics for mastitis ever again.

Orange and Vinegar Cleaner

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 00:00:00 EST

Another thing that I discovered that is so cool has to do with vinegar. I thought you (or your customers) might like because you sell orange peel. I soak or spray orange, lemon, or grapefruit peelings before I peel them to minimize chemical residue. After peeling and making sure there is no pulp left, they are ready to dry and put in vinegar. Simply fill a jar 1\3 full of peeling pieces and fill...

Clear up boils FAST!

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:00:00 EST

Just put a few drops of tea tree essential oil on them a couple times a day, and be boil free within a few days. My family has struggled with MRSA boils a few times and we have tried everything including oral antibiotics. My 7 year old came up with a boil a few weeks ago and I could tell by the hard core developing in the center and the amount of pain he...

Foot Fungus Remedy

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:00:00 EST

My husband has always had terrible feet. They are constantly cracking and splitting and his toenails look terrible. We have treated them with over the counter anti-fungals for years to no avail. We believed that it was palmoplantar psoriasis after not being able to clear it up with anti-fungals, but the doctor seemed to think it was fungal and wanted to put him on prescription oral antifungal medicine. I said absolutely not, there are...

Another Remedy for MRSA Boils

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EDT

When I had MRSA, I thought I had been bitten by a black widow spider. Which was common for our area. When it began to spread I knew something wasn't right. By the time I went to the doctor I had nine boils. The dr. gave me a sulfer drug which only made the 2 smallest ones go away. A lot of research led me to garlic. I placed four med./ large cloves in...

Great Garlic!

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

I was looking for a way to use garlic everyday in my food for all the many health benefits it gives. I found this recipe on the internet and thought it would be a great idea to share! I keep this garlic in my refrigerator and use it every day. It is so fresh and good! You will need: 1 clean pint-sized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil...

Beat Motion Sickness With Ginger

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST

I started using ginger capsules for motion sickness on the advice of my mother. Dramamine, the OTC drug of choice for this problem, made me so sleepy and loopy-feeling that I was no good for about a day after taking it. That is not a problem with ginger. I take two caps about 30 minutes before getting on an airplane (or going on a car trip when curvy roads are involved), and usually another...

Natural Toothpaste

I have an herbal toothpaste recipe that has done tremendous things for me. It uses equal parts of: white oak bark powder, shave grass powder, clove powder, comfrey root powder, lobelia leaf powder and peppermint leaf powder. Just brush with it twice a day. It is amazing!

Bay Leaf Combats Thrush

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

When my son was 4 months old he developed thrush in his mouth. Breastfeeding became extremely painful with cracked, bleeding, and raw nipples. I gave him antibiotics and, of course, it came back within 2 weeks. The doctor wanted to put him on another round of antibiotics but by then I had done research and no longer trusted them. I fixed a strong tea of about 10 Bay Leaves by putting them in a...
