To make corn silk tea — put a handful of corn silk into tea pot and cover with 2 cups of boiling water. Let steep for 10 minutes. Strain before serving.

In the autumn when granny husked her corn for putting up for the winter, she’d take the time to save the corn silk before drying the husks for making corn dollys or use in other craft projects. She would spread the silk out on clean dish toweling to dry. Once the moisture was gone, the silk was stored in a brown paper bag for safekeeping to make some of her winter tonics.

Fight Infections with Three Powerful Herbs

by Susun S. Weed - Author and voice of the Wise Woman Way

Wise women through the centuries have kept themselves and their families safe from contagious diseases. If we are actively dealing with infection, especially lung infections, these three powerful roots stand ready to help us: Elecampane, Echinacea, and poke.

Elecampane (Inula helenium) is a beautiful Sunflower-like perennial found in wet pastures or easily cultivated in a sunny garden spot. The roots are dug in the fall after the plants are established (at least three years) and tinctured in 100 proof vodka for six weeks. Do not use Elecampane in capsules.

I find elecampane root amazingly powerful in clearing all infections from the lungs. The usual dose is 10-15 drops several times a day, but I would increase the dose and take it as much as 6 times a day in an acute situation. I expect to see results from using elecampane within a day or less.

Getting Started …..

Once I began blending and testing herb teas to sell under my “Mossie Rocks” country store label, I knew what I didn’t want. An herb tea should never be flat and flavorless. Whether it’s fruity or spicy, soothing or lively, simple or sophisticated, it needs taste and personality.

I found my homegrown Mint, Lemon balm and Chamomile were more flavorful than the herbal ingredients I could buy. I also learned that many of the old-fashioned beverage flavorers, such as rose petals and toasted Sunflower hulls, are still delightful additions. And for simple pleasures, few things equal the fragrance and flavor of a few fresh leaves of Lemon Verbena steeped in boiling water.

Favorites …..

Here are my picks for the most flavorful and widely adapted “tea” plants for home gardens, along with tips for harvesting and my favorite recipes. All of these plants grow well throughout the United States. They are hardy perennials (up to -20oF) that do well in sun or part shade, except where noted……

This is the headline in a recent article in Reuters. According to a study involving nearly 3,500 women in several countries, various Chinese herbs were considered to be more effective than drugs, acupuncture or heat compression.

No big surprise here!

Various herbal preparations have been used throughout time to relieve the discomfort that many women have before and during their menstrual periods. The key of course is using the correct herbs in the correct proportions with the correct co-factors.

Although many women find that the ‘female’ herbs present in Total Balance Womens Plus is generally sufficient to relieve these uncomfortable symptoms, some women need something a little more powerful and more targeted. Also, some women may not be able to afford the full daily dose of Total Balance Womens Plus.

Insomnia is a symptom, not a disease. Insomnia can have many causes, but the biggest cause is due to Stress. Stress related to work, school, health or family concerns. Depression is the second biggest cause. The use of stimulants, including caffeine, alcohol, nicotine or other over-the-counter or prescription medications will also cause Insomnia.

Prescription drugs, including some Antidepressant, High Blood Pressure and steroid medications, can interfere with sleep. Many over-the-counter medications, including some brands of aspirin, decongestants and weight loss products, contain caffeine and other stimulants. Change in your environment or work schedule and even long-term use of sleep medications will actually interupt your sleep cycle. Medical problems, including fibromyalgia or complex diseases of the nerves and muscles can make it very difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep.

It’s that time of the year when those of you who live in the Northern Hemisphere will be starting to see the early signs of winter. For some of you this can mean periods of misery, not just from unpleasant weather but from colds, sniffles and Flu’s.

Colds and sniffles are unpleasant for everyone, not only yourself but co-workers as well. On the other hand they are not serious like Flu’s particularly if you are getting on in years as Flu may lead to pneumonia. In a effort to try to avoid the flu, millions of people every year line up to have their flu ‘jab’. This has been an annual event for many since 2002 when the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested that having the flu vaccine, “would reduce the risk of serious complications or of death by 70 to 85 per cent in the elderly”.
