Miscellaneous Herb TIPS

 

A pot of basil herb grown in your kitchen keeps the area safe from

negative

 

spirits.

 

The best time to plant a herb garden is when the moon is in Cancer,

Scorpio,

 

Libra, or Pisces.

 

Rub a little Chamomile or St.John's Wort (in liquid form) on a baby's

gums

 

to ease the pain of teething.

 

Try this delicious recipe for combating diarrhea: Peel four apples

and add

 

the peels to one cup of water. Simmer the peels with 1 teaspoon of

honey for

 

20 minutes or until sauce forms. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and serve. The

 

natural pectin in the apples firms up the bowels.

 

To help with nasal congestion, add a few drops of the essential oil of

 

Eucalyptus to a vaporizer and let it fill the room while you sleep.

 

Try calmative herbs, such as Valerian root, Kava root, and Passion

Flower

 

herb, for both immediate and extended help in calming frazzled nerves

 

through stressful times.

 

Keep an Aloe Vera plant in the kitchen for minor burns.

 

Make your own antibacterial deodorizing spray: Add 1 ounce of Thyme

tincture

 

to 2 ounces of water and shake well. Then add 30 drops of essential

oils

 

(Rosemary, Lemon, Lavender or a blend) and shake again. Pour the

mixture in

 

a small spray bottle (makes 3 oz.).

 

Never boil herbal preparations in aluminum pots.
