Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 -this is another mystery list addition. It is pretty cool. Honey, by the way, is like the best remedy for about anything (including boring oatmeal breakfasts) But as always, when working herbs, be careful. Do some research and never ingest something you are not familiar with!! HONEY USES RELAXING HONEY BATH~ Put 2oz. of honey in a glass with 5 drops of lavender oil. If the honey is too thick, heat it by placing the glass in warm water. Add 1 or 2 tbsp. of the honey lavender mixture to your bathwater to help you relax and combat insomnia. HONEY AS A DRESSING FOR WOUNDS Applied externally, honey is useful for healing minor cuts and abrasions by drawing excess water from the tissues and reducing swelling. In addition, honey contains a germ-killing substance called inhibine, which helps prevent infections. Spread the honey directly on the wound and cover with a sterile bandage. HELP FOR HAY FEVER Honey contains grains of pollen that, over time, may have a desensitizing effect, making it useful for the relief of allergies. Hay fever sufferers are advised to eat honey that has been harvested locally. FOR RELIEF OF ASTHMA,BRONCHITIS AND OTHER RESPIRATORY AILMENTS Honey is an outstanding household remedy that can be used in combination with various medicinal herbs. For relief of coughs and wheezing associated with bronchitis, whooping cough or other minor respiratory ailments, mix 1 tsp. of finely chopped fresh thyme in a little honey. Take the mixture orally as needed to soothe inflamed lungs and airways. ORANGE The dried peel is added to love charms. The fresh or dried orange flowers added to the bath makes you attractive. The fruit itself hinders or banishes lust. Keep some leaves or flowers under the pillow to insure an early and happy marriage, or include them into a conjure bag to attract love. NAUSEA Chew mint leaves, ok this works. And if all else fails, suck on some Altoids...really. Because who's just got mint leaves in their purse all the time? NERVES 1 piece rock candy in a jig of whiskey, drink (check your ID, make sure you're 21) PNEUMONIA Mash cooked onions and put between clothes, fasten to victim's chest. POISON IVY Put washed leaves of sweet fern in boiling and apply to affected area. SINUS 1 tsp. salt and 1 cup warm water, sniff through nasal passages. SORE THROAT 1 cup vinegar, 2 tbs. sugar and a sprinkle of black pepper. Gargle. STOMACH ACHE 2 Mint leaves in 8oz glass of cold water. Drink as needed. SUNBURN Cidar vinegar to affected areas. TEETHING Boil catnip, steep, 1 tsp at bedtime. WARTS Rub castor oil over wart. Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior.Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior becomes your habits.Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny. - Mahatma Gandhi Check Out My Groups: Everything Natural http://health./ Everything Magick EverythingMagick/ My Blogs: http://.blogspot.com/ http://bee-witched.blogspot.com/ http://kitchenwitchrecipes.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
