Homemade remedies

-----THE GARDEN GNOME


ALL PURPOSE SALVE

This multipurpose salve provides relief to sore muscles, reduces inflammation, heals scrapes, relieves minor burns, and even provides a measure of protections from biting insects. Excellent chest rub to break up congestion.

1 part plantain leaf (topically healing and soothing)
1 part lavender blossom (antiseptic, topically healing, pain relieving, repels insects)
1 part peppermint leaf (cooling, anti-spasmodic, and pain relieving)
1 part thyme leaf (antiseptic and anti fungal, increases blood flow to the area, healing and astringent)

Heat herbs in olive oil over low heat for about 5 hours. Do not let the oil boil or bubble. A Crock-Pot or the lowest temperature setting on a range should be suitable for heating this mixture. (If the lowest setting is too hot, turn off the heat once it has warmed the oil...it should keep warm for at least and hour....then repeat the process twice.) After cooking, strain out the herbs while oil is still warm. Place 1 1/4 cups of the herb oil in a pan, add beeswax and heat just enough to melt the wax. Add essential oil and stir. Finally, pour the salve into wide mouthed jars. Store at room temperature. Use for minor scrapes and cuts, to protect and promote healing.

Here is my overnight pimple cure: Use a hot washcloth on it to bring all the stuff to the surface, and use a very clean needle, lance the offending blemish and excise it,[I don't bother with all that I just squeeze it empty, but I'm not so finiky] then, right away put hydrogen peroxide on it to bubble away the infectious stuff then put a very generous dab of zinc oxide on it to ease the redness overnight. I do this all the time, it works for me. I hope it works for you, I use a loofah to clear up blackheads, I did it years ago and they never came back, apparently it closes the pores.

I use Hydrogen Peroxide on all infections, it is really the only cure for fungus.

Everyone needs at least one of these for their emergency kits:
pure-go filtering water bottles
It lasts for approximately 1 year. If a person drinks 3 bottles of water per day the cost of the bottle is equals less than 3 cents per fill up.
