Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Good Morning! Seasonal Simmers Simmers are a special mixture of herbs and spices, which are combined into a blend or potion, created to bring the power of aromatherapy and intention into your life. They are also designed to capture the attention of those around you. Based on folk remedies, grandma's recipes and the ingredients provided by nature, these simmers are recipes used to make your kitchen smell delightful. They can be used along with a " special intention " and later, can even be enjoyed as tea! Autumn Elegance Used for: scenting the kitchen/any room with aromatherapy, inviting Fall, honoring Halloween, as a love potion. -Blend 2-4 cups of apple cider or apple juice with: -1 apple cut into small pieces -1 pinch of nutmeg -1 cinnamon stick Slowly simmer on the stove. Allow the smell to permeate the room. Winter Bliss: Christmas Blend Used for: scenting the kitchen/any room with aromatherapy for the holidays, inviting Winter, warming a chill, tonifying the kidneys. -Blend 4-8 cups of water with: -3 cinnamon sticks -8-10 cloves -For a warmer, spicier concoction, add 4-6 slices of raw ginger or a tsp. of dried ginger. Slowly simmer on the stove. Allow the smell to permeate the room. Spring Swing Used for: scenting the kitchen/any room with aromatherapy, initiating Spring, invoking a Spring affair, a great detoxing tea. -Blend 4-8 cups of water with: -4-8 drops of Stevia -4-6 tsp. of two of the following herbs: Rosehips, Red Clover, Ginger, Nettle, Alfalfa, Dandelion, Goldenseal Leaf, Echinacea, Pan D'Arco, Burdock Slowly simmer on the stove. Allow the smell to permeate the room. Summer Simmer Used for: scenting the kitchen/any room with aromatherapy, inviting Summer, honoring the Solstice, invoking Summer love, as a cooling iced tea. -Blend 2-4 quartz of water with: -1 lemon, sliced -1 lime, sliced -sprig of mint -1 tsp. vanilla -4-6 tsp. of two of the following herbs: Jasmine flower, Chamomile flower, Chrysanthemum flower, Rose petals. Slowly simmer on the stove. Allow the smell to permeate the room. Cool and refrigerate for iced tea. Special Notes: With each simmer you can: -take advantage of their aromatic properties. -say a positive affirmation, invoking words, a special prayer or give thanks. -use them at the start of each season to give honor to yourself and your intentions for that season. -as it cools, share, drink, these simmers as a tea. -the health properties of these ingredients are appropriate for each season, relate to the internal organs and are associated by taste, temperature and color.
