Camomile steam inhalation

Inhaling camomile can be realy helpful for closed nose. I have used this few times when my nose was closed so I could breathe just through my mouth. Camomile steam melts mucus in the nose, so that you can blow it out, and the airways become clearer.

If you want to try this, first you need to make camomile tea. Put 1 teaspoon of camomile in a cup of boiling water, stir and cover. After 5 minutes strain the tea and put it in a bowl, pot or cup from which you want to inhale. Tea needs to be warm, but not to hot to burn skin or airways.

Put the cup on the table, lean over it and cover your head and cup with towel. Inhale camomile steam for a while (5-10 minutes), blow your nose if you need to. You can repeat this proces (if you want to), with the same tea, reheat it a bit, or make a new one.

Some people even drink this tea after they finish inhaling, this is optional. After inhaling stay inside where is warm, do not go outside if it is cold.

Marjoram

Marjoram as a herbal remedy is used for troubles with stomach, bowles and bile. It also helps with nerve diseases, allergies and cold with coughs.

Marjoram is a well known spice for pasta, potatoes, wine and etc. can be planted in the garden or pot whether you want to use it as a cure or spice. It is rather easy to find and buy its seeds or small plants for planting.

For tea put 1 teaspoon in a cup of boiled water, stir and cover. After 2 minutes (or if you prefer 5 or 10 minutes) strain it. Some people recommend 2 tablespoons to leave for 5 minutes.

Natural tea or tea bags

Natural tea, tea in its original form, is always better than tea in tea bags (filters). Natural tea has more taste (better taste) and I think better effect than the tea in tea bags.

Many people are used to drinking tea from tea bags, because it seems easier or just don't know otherwise. I was one of those people and it was something new to me that you can put dry leaves that you picked or bought in boiling water and make tea.

Making tea from cut herbs may seem more work but once you get used to this proces it realy is easy and better. Herbs have better quality than in tea bags where sometimes you can find just herb dust.

If you make tea often, you don't need to wash your equipment every time you use it, just rinse it under water and leave it for next time. Try original tea and see the difference.

Walnut tincture

Tincture made from green walnuts (Juglans regia) purifies stomach, liver and blood.

It also removes stomach weakness and it's good for bowles and against blood thickening.

Drink 1 teaspoon of walnut tincture when necessary.

Recepie

To make tincture, take about 20 green walnuts (picked around mid June), cut them into quarters and put in a glass jar. Pour 1l of alcohol (about 40%) over, so that alcohol comes about 5 cm above nuts.

Close the jar and leave it in the sun or warm place for 14 days or 4 weeks. Shake it sometimes. Then strain and pour into bottles.

This is a recepie from Maria Treben.

Herbs

I've been useing herbs like remedies for a while now. In that time I have learned much about them, and I've gained confidence in myselfe and in God, Universe, Mother Nature, The Force, call it whatever.

It is really interesting how plants, that grow all around us, ordinary plants which we don't even notice, can help with many conditions and diseases.

A little bit of herbs, a cup of hot water and there you go, you have nice, tasty and curative tea.

Excellent proof have we are all connected, and have the answers are everywhere is when you find a plant on some meadow, you picke it and dry and then if necessary use it.

I don't have anything against bought herbs, I use them also. That is much easier and better if you don't recognize plants or if you can't find the one you need.

But it is much more exciting to gather them yourself. Just imagine a beautiful day, sun is high on the incredible blu sky, you are walking through fields and meadows, picking herbs in a little basket.

Isn't that nice? It's  useful and in the same time it is fitness and antistress.

This also connects you with nature and with yourself. You don't feel helpless, couse their is cure for everything.
