herbal remidies from the fridge
Herbal Remedies from Your Crisper Drawer
By Lee Dobbins
Many people think that making herbal remedies involve mixing up
concoctions of hard-to-find sticks, twigs and leaves but the truth is
that there are many herbal remedies that can be made from fruits and
vegetables that are commonly found right in your grocery store.
Here are some herbal remedies that you can make from things you
probably have right in your own crisper drawer.
Cabbage
The next time you have acid indigestion, don't reach for the Tum's
reach for cabbage instead. simply mix a pound of cabbage with a big
carrot and grind it in a blender along with a tablespoon of sugar. You
will need a high powered blender to turn this into a shake. Drink this
half hour before your meals and it is said to be believed gastric acid
problems.
Avocado
The next time you slice it into a yummy avocado, don't throw away that
seed! The seed can be used for a temporary filling for cavities when
you can't get to the dentist right away. Simply slice off a piece of
the seed and plug the hole. You should replace the filling twice a day
and see your dentist as soon as possible.
Ginger
If you have a sore throat, chewing on a small piece of ginger can act
as a soothing lozenge. Ginger has other great healing properties as
well so you can only benefit from using this when you have a cold.
Guava
Guava can be used to treat many ailments. Chopping up the leaves and
boiling them in two glasses of water for 15 minutes to make a tea that

aroma. If you have a sunburn or prickly heat rash boil some guava
leaves in 2 gallons of water, let it cool and apply to the affected
area.

cough suppressant. Boil one cop a fresh oregano leaves in two glasses
of water to make a tea. Adults should drink a half a cup of tea three
times a day but when the children to a teaspoon.

constipation. It is also a natural exfoliant that can help treat acne
and keep your skin looking great. To use topically, mash up papaya and
mix it in a three to one ratio with lemon juice. Slathered on your
face and the mask. Leave on for half hour and ransom for water. You
can also add a little to this mixture if you want to use it as a
scrub.

quite effectively. Eat two to three slices with every meal for a week
and you're intestinal parasites should be gone.
Radish

and somehow extract the juice then apply that to the affected area

concoction as a mouthwash as needed.
Having a lot of fruits and vegetables in your refrigerator is a good
idea to stay healthy, not only by eating them to ingest the
antioxidants, minerals and vitamins but also to have them around to
make healthy herbal remedies.

easy herbal pot holders
Some of the best parts of fall are the lovely spicy scents this time of year brings. Why not bring some of these scents into your home by making some scented hot pads from the herbs in your garden and the spices in your cupboard? They are basically hot pads, with spices and herbs sewn into the padding, so when you sit a hot pan or teapot on them, the warmth releases the spicy scent, while protecting your tabletop.
You’ll need two 9" pieces of fabric, some dried herbs from the garden, and doesn’t everyone have some old bottles of spices in the cupboard that probably need to be replaced? You can use the ‘old’ spices for your hot pads, and purchase new ones for the cupboard. If you don’t have cotton batting around the house, check with friends who quilt... quilters ALWAYS have odd bits of batting around. If you don’t feel like a trip to the fabric store to buy a tiny bit of batting, I have found old, stained (but clean) hotpads work well as the base....RECYCLE!
Materials for each pad:
Two 9" pieces of cotton batting
Two 10" pieces of your choice of cotton fabric
thread
Herbs and spices: You’ll need 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the mixture per hot pad
Suggestions: Whole cloves, whole allspice, broken cinnamon sticks, dried orange or lemon peel, dried Rosemary, Lavender, Oregano....what do you have around the house? Just pick herbs and spices that can be crushed fairly small, or you will have a very lumpy hot pad!
Place the pieces of cotton fabric face-to-face on your work surface. Then stack and place the 2 batting pieces on top of the stacked 2 pieces of cotton fabric. Sew around the 3 1/2 sides of the square, about 1/2 inch in from the edge. NOTE: You need to leave at least 4" of the edge unsewn, so you can turn the fabric right side out. Do this now, being sure to poke the corners out nice and square.
Pour your spice and herb filling through the opening on side four. Be sure to pour the filling between the 2 layers of batting. Fold in the unsewn edges, and stitch closed.
Voila! You now have a basic hot pad! You may want to go a step further, and shake the filling into the 4 corners, then stitch an X thru the middle of the hot pad, so the filling will stay evenly distributed. NOTE: Sewing machine needles do not like to run into whole
