Yarrow and blackberry cream

Yarrow and blackberry cream is used for curing hemorrhoids, applied externally. It is made from yarrow (Achillea millefolium) flowers and blackberry (Rubus fructicosus) leaves, about 15g of each herb. Herbs need to be fresh and chopped.

Making the cream

Heat pigs fat (about 90 g) to a temperature of frying steaks. Use a big pan, much bigger than the amount of fat, because fat is very hot and can foam. Caution is necessary.

         Add herbs part by part, stir few times with a wooden spoon and fry herbs a bit. Remove it from fire and cover.

         Next day heat it to melt the fat, strain it with a strainer or/ and cloth. Squeeze the herbs a bit, pour it into small  containers or jars, cover when it cools down.

Label it

         Write the name of the cream and year of making on the jars, so you wouldn't forget what is in it. This happens to us sometimes, we keep similar containers in the same spot and later we forget what cream is in which container so the sniffing party begins. Same is with oils. In eather case it is best to write something on.

         Keep it in the fridge or other cool place, it can last for a year or more. The amounts can be reduced, according to your needs.

Drinking camomile tea is also good for healing hemorrhoids internally, it heals and do not couses diarrhoea.

Making natural herbal cream

Description

Natural herbal cream is cream made from fresh herbs and pigs fat. You can make it yourself, it is easy.

Before, I wasn't very happy to use cream made from pigs fat. Then I read in book from Dr.Theiss that pigs fat is good for skin because it is natural and skin absorbs it well, also it transforms well the healing substances from herbs through skin.

Use

They can be used for dry skin or some concrete problem. That dependes of herb from which the cream is made. We have written about creams like: marigold, camomile, comfrey, agrimony. There you can find recepies how to make each cream. You can reduce the amount of herbs and fat in recepies, accordingly to your needs.

Making herbal cream

         First find fresh herbs (try to find herbs that are away from any pollution, like: traffic roads, industry, polluted waters, pesticides, artificial fertilizers). Then chop them into small pieces. Heat the fat in a big pan (use big pan because the fat foams). Be careful while you are doing this, don't touch the fat because it burns like hell.

         Heat it to the temperature of frying stakes. Divide herbs into few parts, then carefuly add one part, stir, add another until you spend it all. Fry it very shortly.

          Remove the pan from heat, cover it and leave somewhere to cool. Next day warm it a bit, just to make fat liquid.

         Strain it through cloth and strainer. Squeeze the herbs. Pour it into small containers, small glass jars, etc.

         Write the name of herb and the year of making it on the container and keep it in refrigerator or somewhere where it is cool. It can last for a year.
