Guest guest Posted April 1, 2001 Report Share Posted April 1, 2001 Someone mentioned something about a type of tea that they gave their mother for emphysema and also congenital heart failure. Can you post how to make this please?Kristie Attachment: vcard [not shown] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2001 Report Share Posted April 1, 2001 The tea I gave her all throughout the day the first day (and thereafter for one week) was MULLEIN tea. I made it very strong initially because she truly was at death's door and couldn't breathe. I put a small fistful (about 1/2 cup) of mullein in a coffee filter, put a garbage bag twist tie on it, threw it into a pot of boiling water, turned the water off, let it steep 10 min (for medicinal value), and that was that. I sweetened it with honey because I'm told it has a bitter taste to it. I don't think it does. (I've had to mask the taste for my daughter by adding peppermint to the mullein.) For the congestive heart stuff, reread what Valorie suggested about Hawthorn berries. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 If you can't find any in your area, and you can't find any buy ordering it via the net (there are places to order it in bulk), I will send you some. They do make mullein essential oil. You can put drops of this in peppermint tea. Gogi Kristie or Patrick Crawford wrote: TYVM Where would I find mullein at.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 I am not sure what it is caused from. I am thinking maybe it is sinus as my eyes hurt too but not really sure.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 Hi, I am wondering if you have heard of lymph gland massage therapy? For chronic sinus conditions, earaches, it works wonders and often regular massage therapists also have their certificate for it. If you clear of the bog so to speak everything should then run smoothly and may very well clear headache etc. I tend to go for the cure of the problem versus just curing the symptom temporally.

You might be surprised as to the herbs that are growing in your area and even in your own backyard. Besides, there is usually someone on the list who is willing to trade one herb for another.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Dear Kristie, Usually a sun related headache is caused by not enough essential fatty acids in your diet. 2 to 10 tablespoons of Flaxseed Oil or Udo's Oil will help to handle that. Other causes of Migraine are: 1. Not enough bowel movements. 2. Clogged or toxic bowel. 3. Clogged and / or toxic Liver/Gallbladder. 4. To much white sugar, white flour products, artificial sweeteners, and commercial hormone laden meats. A thorough bowel cleansing program including a complete Liver/Gallbladder Flush and Cleanse program would probably straighten you right out. On a short term basis and as a bandaid, you could be taking the Pain & Headache formula as listed in the files. This would give you some immediate relief but would still be just a bandaid. The terminated handling would be the cleanses as above and a major change in your diet which would include but is not limited to: 1. Organic Foods Only. 2. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. & 3. Fresh homemade juices. Additionally, I'd recommend: 1. A good exercise program. 2. A minimum of one hot bath a day (as hot as you can stand it) for at least a half an hour a day with 4 to 6 cups of herbal tea while in the tub. There are other things as well but if you did all of the above you'd probably forget you ever had headaches. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Kristi, I understand as we have to drive all the way to Albuquerque which is a 3 hour drive and has the nearest Health Food Stores to us. It is challenging but we are getting the idea of how to shop once a month by making the drive into ALB once a month. We do most of our major shopping and then pick up organic eggs and milk from a local farm and misc items from a regular store (very few as there is almost nothing in a regular store that's on our diet) So if you want tips on how we manage this, let me know and I'll tell you what has worked for us. I also plan on planting our own vegetable garden this summer. Valorie - Kristie or Patrick Crawford herbal remedies Tuesday, April 03, 2001 12:19 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Re: Tea I live in west TX.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Kristie, I've had lots of personal successes with Prickley Pear and swear by it. Once I got bitten by a fire ant between my toes. The good ole immune system said fine and pretty much handled the bite except the next day I was again wearing sandals and got another fire ant bite between the same toes. This time the immune system did not handle it and it got red, swelled up and was itching like crazy. I was about to go to bed and knew I would be unable to sleep so went out into my front yard and picked a Prickley Pear pad. Luckily my cactus had only little brown spots of small needles that were far apart and easy to simply scrape off with a knife. Once the spines were all scrapped with the knife, I washed the pad and then sliced it in half lenghtwise like you fillet a fish. This exposes all the gooey inside of the cactus and this gooey stuff is magic. I wiped some between my toes and in seconds almost instantly there was no itching and the redness and swelling disappeared. I was amazyed. I went to bed in total comfort and the next day there was a slight sensation between my toes so I repeated the process and that was the end of those ant bites!!! I've heard stories where someone stepped into a whole ant hill at night and was covered with many bites and the Prickley Pear and Aloe was used to totally handle the bites. The spikey Prickley Pear would be a bit more challenging but I'll bet it would also work wonders.
