Herb Treatments From The Kitchen

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is feeling well on this Samhain eve.
Today I thought I would Invite you to try making a treatment or two, to get use to how your herbs work.
I don't know about you but when I first started trying out the herbal treatments, finding people who knew how to use them I found to be hard and every site I went though didn't tell me much on how to make it or just give me a recipe that I could try. I think its hard for people who are new to herbs to really get the hang of them without some kind of guide or know someone who has been at the practice for sometime. When I first started to follow Wicca I didn't know which path or part would fit me most and I kinda just learned as I went. When I moved into the area that I live now Wicca took on a deeper meaning to me and I found myself extremely interested in what nature could be used for and funny enough that is where I met the person I look up to when I can't figure up something.

I made this website to try to help where I can and so since finding a recipe for anything was not easy I will be posting up different actual remedies that you can try out and tell me how you think they worked for you.

Bust A Cold
  • 1 tsp Elder Berries
  • 1 tsp Peppermint

Add the 1 to 2 tsp of your herb to the 1/2 cup of water and let stand for 8 hours, warm to luke warm DO NOT boil or steep in boiling water.

To Clear Your Nose

Turmeric
To use the turmeric you open the container that you have it in and sniff the ground turmeric just enough so you know its in your nose; you may sneeze 6 or 7 times then blow your nose and repeat one more time, but wait a few minuets to blow your nose the second time.
blow your nose and breath can be as fast as 3 minutes.

Remember that with all the infusions you make, use natural honey as a sweetener if you can't handle them without it..


Give it a try and see how you do!
