Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I know that most people I talk are most concerned about alternative sources of calcium, so that would be one subject I'm sure that everyone would be interested in, especially if you could demonstrate how herbs are EXCELLENT sources of calcium, along with other minerals. People are always freaked out that they're not getting enough calcium and the dairy industry is doing its darndest to encourage the mania.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Yeah, I liked this suggestion. I have a recipe for calcium tea that I think I'll bring in for them to try. Calcium Tea 6 parts horsetail grass 3 parts oat straw 4 parts comfrey 1 part lobelia I have allot of writing to do on this because I would like to give them a booklet to take home with various recipes, gardening information along with harvesting, drying and storing herbs. Anyone else have any ideas? Pearlmoon - Ilana Grostern herbal remedies Thursday, February 20, 2003 12:45 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Any suggestions? Well, if she's just demonstrating herbs I was thinking more about red raspberry leaf and nettle and I think maybe oat straw too but I'm no expert. That's why she's teaching the class! :)ILANA xoxoSuzanne Nottmeier wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! > > Many Blessings > Pearlmoon Hello Pearlmoon, I am very new at all this, which makes me very " not wise " , but if I went to take a class on herbs here are some things I would expect to learn if I was paying for it: First, I want to know which ones are dangerous or should be taken/used with caution and what caution. Ex. I have been reading that pregnant women shouldn't take certain things, but some will help with morning sickness, etc. Believe me, most folks still believe that if it's " natural " , it's okay. But, I tell them...cannibus is natural...they still don't get the point, though. Names, uses, any that could substitute for, and how to pronounce at least all the major herbs. Some recipes or formulas that I could be trying while the classes are going on...that way, if I had any questions...I could ask before the classes are over with and the teacher's gone...Maybe something good for sinuses as Spring and all those lovely hay fevers are about to let loose or something for a headache. Or, an herb salve for scrapes and cuts...! The tea recipes idea that I read about earlier sound super, too. And of coarse, if all this was written down, I'd be willing to pay extra for that. Now, if I wasn't paying for the class, I'd be happy with what ever you were willing to tell me. Hope this helps, Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think that depends on how large your "parts" are. For this recipe I usually go by 1/2 teaspoons and it usually makes about 2 pots or 12 cups of tea. 6 parts horsetail or 6 (1/2) teaspoons or 3 full teaspoons 3 parts oat straw or 3 (1/2) teaspoons or 1 1/2 full teaspons and so on. The amount of water just depends on how big you want to make the measurement. This is just the way I measure it out and it makes 2 nice 6 cup pots for me. It doesn't taste too bad either. Hope you like it.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Ya can't beat Total Tonic. Simple to make and a catch-all for just about anything. It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-parasitical. You can use it orally on a cold or flu. You can use it externally as an antiseptic. You can use it as a douche. You can use it in an enema (water it down first ;o). It's easy to make and the ingredients are everywhere. Have your class bring their own ingredients. Whenever I do a class, it's always the first one I do.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Damiana and Kava Kava works for men and women both. Used together, it gets rid of the " grouchies" and Damiana causes for intense orgasms and increased libido in men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
