    I keep a dropper bottle of 50/50 ACV and water around for heartburn.  1 Dropper full will stop heartburn in seconds !!

    Bee Balm, Wild Oregano (Mennonite) Grows wild here on the north parries. I use it for anything Italian…. Just a bit though, it’s STRONG !

      Tom, do you have any other photos of this? I may have a patch of it out front, and if so, I have to get a fence around it really soon, before the land lord decides to mow it down.

      taste it Jo. If it tastes like a REALLY strong Oregano, than that’s what you got….

      Forgot to mention that you should give it a good shake, daily, for at least the first week. Also, the “HOT” mellows a bit after it has sat… Surprisingly, it adds a really nice flavour to red wine….

      I have other recipes, including; Clove, Peppermint, Cinnamon, and Hysop oils. These are oils I made by leaching, filled a jar with whatever…[Read more]

    I recently learned and built a still for distilling alkeehol. I use it for making tinctures and the like as well as a chemical free beverage. My most recent was a recipe I learned from an ol mountain man (Popcorn Sutton ) Half and half Alkeehol and raw honey with a few cloves in it, makes an excellent cough syrup. One teaspoon makes a world of…[Read more]

    Jack, There are many ways you can use Tinctures and tea’s for your health. in most cases, but not all, it is safe to use several different ones per day. Herbals are kind of like food, many of them are food, just stronger for health purposes. Cinnamon will help the tummy, and your digestive tract, [...]

    Although I am all for herbally treatments…I strongly recommend people get advice from a reputable person on using and mix
    ing herbs. Many are toxic in even small amounts, react with other herbs, medicines and foods. Qualified herbalists are those that have apprentist with herbalists for a significant time or taken courses in the area.

      I whole heartedly agree with you there Wendy. Make sure you have a reputable practitioner. There are many “snake oil salesmen” out there, who will swear their “product” works the best, When in all actuality it might kill you. Use common sense, study, learn, and above all, don’t believe everything you read, or hear.
      For the most part, common,…[Read more]

      Yes Wendy I absolutely agree. Each person reacts differently to meds it doesn’t mater if they are natural or not. I can eat fennel with out a problem, but I can NOT take fennel tea for tummy upsets. I get a skin reaction to it, even the smell can set me off. Hubby can’t take chamomile! Many herbs have been a wonderful blessing to us, but it…[Read more]
