eat herbs raw?? yep!!!

[Guest guest]

Michael, I'm impressed that you were able to help your daughter. If only I'd

known about herbs when my own kids were rebellious,quarreling teens. There

are many herbs that are great in salads, as well as teas, extracts,

compresses, etc--and remember, you can dry those leaves and grind them to

make capsules. Always check out each herb carefully first by doing a search

on each to find whether they clash with something you are already taking(be

it prescription med or another herb). And finally, don't be like " some of us

who doctor ourselves with the notion of, " If a little is good, a lot is

better " Trust me, it ain't so!! I've been soooooo guilty (when I do get sick

)of trying several remedies at once, then not knowing which one worked. Did

I say THAT???!!Go to www.richters.com or www.horizonherbs.com

 

I think I gave the wrong link to Horizon Herbs in the last post to Christy.

Sorry Christy!!!

P.S. If I had it to do all over again, I'd give my kids magnesium to relax

those tense bodies head to toe. Theres so much more that we can do to help

them, even our other Michael (Riversong) has information on how certain

music can promote healings in our bodies. Isn't that amazing??? We are

living in a most wonderful time in history as far as I'm concerned. I love

the information we can glean so easily from each other.

[herbal remedies] greetings and salutations

 

 

 

I'm Michael, recently joined. I've been enjoying reading the daily

 

synopsis very much, feel comfortable enough here that I'd like to

 

share a few herbal experiences. I'm very new to using herbs, just

 

started growing the usual culinary stuff in the yard and got

 

interested in them, then discovered the incredible effects of St.

 

John's Wort on my daughter who has been diagnosed with

 

depression and Oppositional Defiance Disorder - what an

 

amazing difference it has made to our lives. I used to wake up

 

EVERY MORNING hearing her yelling at my wife, now she

 

behaves like a regular teenager - sometimes difficult or

 

disagreeable, but so much better than she was.

 

 

 

 

 

I started experimenting with a combination of St. John's wort

 

capsules (cause I haven't grown it yet - can't find the seedlings)

 

and Lemon balm tea after ten years of prescription medicine for

 

genital herpes, I think the herbs work more effectively.

 

 

 

 

 

After twenty years of using " anti-dandruff " shampoo I quit using

 

regular shampoo to try an experiment on myself. For two weeks

 

now I have washed my hair using only water, then rinse my scalp

 

three times daily with a strong tea of rosemary, thyme and sage,

 

all of which grow like weeds in my yard. Great results, my hair

 

feels thicker, no dandruff in sight! What a change.

 

I am thoroughly impressed with herbal because of the results of

 

these three experiments. I do hope these results are useful.

 

 

 

 

 

Is there any reason that one should not simply eat the leaves of

 

herbs rather than making a tea or tincture? I've been simply

 

swallowing the leaves in my lemon balm tea thinking it might be

 

beneficial

 

 

 

Thanks Doc for the tape, I'll listen to it shortly.

 

 

 

Once again, greetings,

 

 

 

Michael
