Herbal Cough drops - for Colds and coughs
Garlic paste-releaving toxins from entire body
COUGH DROPS
Made with Herbs! To not only help the throat feel better for a few minutes but to combat the actual cause of the the cough. Treat the cause not the symptom!Cough drops are pretty much candy containing menthol, if you want a strong cough drop go to the cooking store and purchase menthol or add some eucalyptice or peppermint essential oil after the batch has reached a hard boil.
Start with some herbs that are good for a cough like mullein, sage, horehound, and mint or get a herbal coughing or cold tea bag from the store and steep for 10 minutes. In a saucepan, measure the following:1/2 Cup herbal decoction(strong herbal tea)1 Cup honey2 Cups sugarCarefully bring to a boil and then to hardball stage: when a drop of the mixture turns to a brittle ball when dropped into cold water.Pour into a pan lined with wax paper and let cool enough to still be able to cut. Cut into lozenges. For an extra help for a sore throat, roll each lozenge in powdered slippery elm bark. There is no reason you need to have a round cough drop.
GARLIC OIL –for Earaches
Often a cold precedes ear problems. If there is a lot of congestion, drink lots of fluids, try the Steam Vapors and expectorant herbs to loosen the mucus and aid in expelling it from the body. A hot water bottle placed over the ear can help to relieve pain.
Garlic Ear Oil can be used to relieve inflammation in the external ear canal. Garlic is an anti-microbial herb that will help to kill bacteria that may be causing infection and mullein flowers (if used) help to relieve pain.
3 cloves GarlicOlive oil¼ cup Mullein Flowers (optional-Mullein is great to releave pain-They grow wild in the mountains)
Preparation: Chop the garlic into small pieces or use a garlic press. Place the garlic and mullein flowers in a small glass jar with a lid. Cover the mullein flowers & garlic with olive oil and allow to set in the sun for several days, or heat over very low heat for 4 hours. If you are using fresh mullein flowers, cover your jar with cheesecloth rather than a lid to allow moisture to escape. Strain the oil through cheesecloth and store your oil in a small dropper bottle in the refrigerator.
To use warm the oil to body temperature by placing the bottle of oil in a glass of hot water for a few minutes. Insert 2-3 drops in BOTH the affected ear & the other ear 2-3 times per day and add cotton in ear to keep oil from running out.
REJUVELAC-Natural Probiotic When using Anti-biotics, during cold flu & digestion problems or on a regular basis for great health.
Rejuvelac is a tonic drink made from wheat. It is rich in enzymes and many nutrients. A must have to restore the flora back into the intestine which have been lost due to the consumption of antibiotics. Antibiotics do not have an "intelligence" that discriminates between the "unfriendly bacteria" and the "friendly bacteria" which are necessary for our very survival.
REMEMBER When taking Anti-biotics…please take a this Probiotic at the same time and after for a while. If not after an anti-biotic it takes up to 6 months to build back the good flora in the small intestines. All while your more susceptible to more illness and disease because you don’t have the GOOD GUYs warding off the bad stuff.
Who can have Rejuvelac? The healthy and the sick, children and adults can have it. Diabetics can have small quantities in diluted form.
1 cup wheat berries5 cups Water (distilled is best but not a must)
Directions:
Wash wheat thouroughly and soak in water for 48 hours. Cover with cheese cloth and rubber band or sprouting lid. After 48 hours drain off the liquid into another container. This is Rejuvilac. You may add 2-3 tsp of honey and store in fridge. When serving add a dash of lemon juice.
Make more: Add 5 more cups to the wheat remaining in the first container. Leave only for 24 hours this time . You may use the berries 3 times until the wheat remaining now must be discarded- or cooked in replace of rice…its very nutricious.
Note : At first you might feel that there is a "bad" smell, but when you add lemon juice it goes away and you also get used to some of it. The nutrition it provides is worth the initial hesitation you might have in drinking it.
Your health is in your hands. The idea behind Rejuvelac is that when the wheat berries sprout, you’re getting a lightly fermented product that packs a wallop when it comes to nutritional value. It’s also said to add probiotics to your diet, which should increase beneficial bowel flora, making your time on the pot a true wonder.
CAYENNE DRINK
For Nose Bleeds and to stop or slow down any bleeding
When ever my kids get a nose bleed they ask for the “hot drink” it is so easy to do and works so well. WHY? Cayenne equalizes the blood pressure throughout your system. Usually stopping a nose bleed by the time you count to 10.
1 glass of watera few shakes of CayennePlace Cayenne in water, stir and drink. It doesn’t take much.
Cayenne stops a Cold in its tracks!
When you feel a cold coming on, take 2 capsules and then a hot shower; take 2 more capsules and get into bed, so that you will sweat. By morning you will prob. Feel better!
A friend of mines Mother’s immune system is very weak, due to the Prednisone she takes for arthritis. Whenever she would get a cold, it would head straight for her lungs and develop into pneumonia. So when she feels a cold coming on she takes Cayenne and soaks in a hot tub. If she feels it going into her throat, she takes Echinacea to boost her immune system and takes garlic. She rubs an ointment of Cayenne and Petrolium jelly on her throat and chest.
STREP THROAT REMEDY
Also great for tickle in throat, sorness or dryness
Whenever my children complain about their throat tickling or hurting they get a dose of this great stuff…the only one who complains is my husband!
HoneyPressed Garlicdash of Cayenne
Place in small bowl mix well and take a big swallow. Make sure you swallow very slowly. WHY? The Honey coats the throat, the Cayenne brings blood to the surface to start the healing process and the Garlic is the natural antibiotic. Take a spoon full every ½ hour all day long if Strep Throat…preferably before it gets that bad. If they just have a tickle this usually kicks it to the curb.
CABBAGE Compress- draws out toxins
Poultices, along with cabbage tea or juice, were taken to relieve the pain and soreness of a harsh cough; and, if the poultices were applied to the throat, they helped soothe tonsilitis and laryngitis. To make a poultice, cut out the midrib of a leaf and iron it. Place while still hot onto the area to be treated, being careful not to have it too hot or to leave it on too long as it can cause blisters.
Fresh leaves steeped in olive oil can be applied to chapped skin, chilblains, varicose veins, abscesses, and boils.
Fresh leaves can be placed directly onto wounds or even into a bra for mastitis or engorged breasts. To use, cut out the midrib, and beat the leaf gently to soften it and release its medicinal properties, then place on an affected area.
Cabbages were used by sailors to prevent scurvy.
It was also an ancient remedy for TB (tuberculosis).
Cabbage has an ancient reputation for purifying the blood, a practice seen today as decoctions and fresh cabbage juice are taken as a good cleanser and detoxifier.
GINGER Tea for Nausea
Ginger tea is specific for treating nausea. If available, use fresh grated ginger root, 1 tablespoon per cup. Several of the other diaphoretic herbs are useful for treating nausea as well (Boneset, elder flower, and peppermint). Try any of these herbs individually or the Cold and Flu Tea.Brewed as a tea, it induces sweating, which helps fevers run their course. It also tones and helps boost the immune system. For a cup of fresh ginger tea, steep about five or six thin slices of ginger root to hot water. Add lemon and sweetener if desired. Fresh ginger can be stored in the refrigerator in an airy container for up to three weeks if it is left unpeeled. Stored unpeeled in the freezer, it will keep for up to six months.
