One of them being a powerful anti-inflammatory.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Inflammation is not all bad. It's just one of many ways our body protects it's self from viruses, harmful bacteria and other foreign invaders. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It's when it turns into chronic inflammation which then creates an imbalance within the body -which can lead to many health issues such as;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">diabetes, heart disease </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">kidney disease, liver disease </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">cancers, stroke</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">autoimmune disease </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">arthritis, eczema</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">psoriasis </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">A few causes of chronic inflammation are smoking, stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and the biggie - diet. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">There are several ways to incorporate turmeric in the diet to help reduce inflammation; capsules, powders, fresh root, and of course, turmeric tincture! What are your favorite ways to add turmeric to your diet? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">* There are drug interactions to check into before using turmeric on a regular basis for healing; blood thinning medicines, aspirin, medications for stomach acid issues, certain diabetes medications and blood pressure medications. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The body has difficulty absorbing turmeric. Black pepper contains a compound called piperine.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This compound increases the body's ability to absorb turmeric. So when adding turmeric to your diet don't forget the black pepper. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1n12f8zhXHvmPpIishkFfzo5KnzmzDk07P8xv83BidE5g3CfQgluk-7wZQedrOr1PfqhuLOUEIXQL7oKhc10naPc2hTUxHKDgA0ksCdGX5EWyrWVN0HkDpLuuvjTThdAwWZYT_0oR8l2O6lTbI00wDcI7f1J7ilnM-AmylhGHmhU5R3sW7bx49PCTY-w/s720/FB_IMG_1711635532864.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1n12f8zhXHvmPpIishkFfzo5KnzmzDk07P8xv83BidE5g3CfQgluk-7wZQedrOr1PfqhuLOUEIXQL7oKhc10naPc2hTUxHKDgA0ksCdGX5EWyrWVN0HkDpLuuvjTThdAwWZYT_0oR8l2O6lTbI00wDcI7f1J7ilnM-AmylhGHmhU5R3sW7bx49PCTY-w/w400-h400/FB_IMG_1711635532864.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><br /></p>Becky Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01890876264393552960noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997280398019493226.post-57662878137245865052024-03-28T08:49:00.005-05:002024-03-28T09:23:42.572-05:00Tea Blends<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtHNCNGs73QaBKeoEtINRn6qAoNOzy1hjbn3z5SFHiXEca4b8ZQUtoLpyPGh2E6knbUD-AEvK76oiMZ3nPYz7SKNP9kwZEbde2yRjqMZv9X6v6a3o2jr9UZHxYBdp5Pde148WEP4TGKeNk-XvyX9OxQW-4pyHY4goEzyZSDEo4A7jiZMfQwI7QB_MHA5E/s2048/IMG_4669.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtHNCNGs73QaBKeoEtINRn6qAoNOzy1hjbn3z5SFHiXEca4b8ZQUtoLpyPGh2E6knbUD-AEvK76oiMZ3nPYz7SKNP9kwZEbde2yRjqMZv9X6v6a3o2jr9UZHxYBdp5Pde148WEP4TGKeNk-XvyX9OxQW-4pyHY4goEzyZSDEo4A7jiZMfQwI7QB_MHA5E/w400-h400/IMG_4669.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I LOVE creating tea blends.

Let's look at lavender for example:</span></p><div class="col-8 col-m-6 white-space-text" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(10, 16, 26); color: #0a101a; grid-column-end: span 8; text-size-adjust: 100%; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">
If we were to prepare an herbal tincture with fresh lavender, and vodka for extracting the medicinal properties from the lavender, once that process was complete, it would have within the liquid the physical healing properties from the plant. </span></div><div class="col-8 col-m-6 white-space-text" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(10, 16, 26); color: #0a101a; grid-column-end: span 8; text-size-adjust: 100%; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="col-8 col-m-6 white-space-text" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(10, 16, 26); color: #0a101a; grid-column-end: span 8; text-size-adjust: 100%; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Whereas with flower essences, we are using the essence of the flower. The vibrational imprint, it's unseen energy.
This type of healing is for the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of you, which affects your physical well being too. </span></div><div class="col-8 col-m-6 white-space-text" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(10, 16, 26); color: #0a101a; grid-column-end: span 8; text-size-adjust: 100%; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="col-8 col-m-6 white-space-text" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(10, 16, 26); color: #0a101a; grid-column-end: span 8; text-size-adjust: 100%; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It all ties in together.

The goal of energy healing is to restore the balance of energy to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At times, the natural internal flow of energy can stagnate within the body thus creating energy blocks.

Just peace and quiet. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>During your healing session: </b></p><p>The healing session itself will last 30 minutes for long distant healing, 60 minutes for in person session. During that time it is advisable to close your eyes, practice slowly breathing in through your nose and out your mouth. </p><p>Do your best to clear your mind and allow any feelings and emotions to come to the surface.</p><p>Some clients do experience past memories coming to the surface. If this happens, just go with it. Remind yourself that you are in a safe space and any thoughts, emotions and feelings you are experiencing is okay.</p><p>It is important to remember that the reiki energy you receive does not come from the reiki practitioner. </p><p>Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner's hands to you.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>After your healing session is over: </b></p><p>When your session is over, it is helpful to have a journal to write down your thoughts and your feelings. Many clients find it very beneficial to keep that journal close by so they can continue writing over the next several days.</p><p>During a reiki session, toxins stored in the body’s tissues are released. As the toxins are released, they need to be flushed out. </p><p>So as with any energy healing session, it is important to keep your body hydrated with water for the next several days after your session.</p><p>As your body works to remove these toxins, there is a possibility one may experience symptoms such as; headaches, nausea, aches, or general tiredness.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more info on prices click </p><p><a href="https://beckyrhodesreiki.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Here</span></a></p><p>If you have any questions prior to your healing session or afterwards, please contact me anytime!</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: Dancing Script; font-size: large;">- Becky </span></p><span><!--more--></span>Becky Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01890876264393552960noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997280398019493226.post-89290163403644499842021-08-19T11:29:00.003-05:002024-03-15T07:24:49.025-05:00Goldenrod ~ Solidago <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<span><span>This area represents standing in your own power, self confidence, over coming fears. </span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">A <a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/becky-stiller/guide-to-flower-essences/ebook/product-zm8r95r.html?page=1&pageSize=4" target="_blank">flower essence</a>
assists in the healing for those who are easily susceptible to peer

strengthening one's sense of individuality, self trust and confidence. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span title="Edited">Goldenrod has a tendency to be mistaken for being a
culprit in causing seasonal allergies. The pollen is too heavy and
sticky to be carried off by the winds so pollination is completed
through the amazing world of insects. So, this lets goldenrod off the
hook in regards to causing seasonal allergies. </span></span></span><br />
</span><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span><span><span title="Edited"><br />Now, ragweed on
the other hand, this plant can be found the same time of the year, Autumn, and
in close proximity of goldenrod, and ragweed's pollination is completed
via the winds. Ragweed = seasonal allergy culprit. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span title="Edited"><b>Medicinal properties;</b> astringent, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, diuretic, </span></span></span><span><span>analgesic, decongestant </span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span title="Edited">As
a diuretic, goldenrod is often used in treating urinary tract
infections, bladder infections, kidney infections and kidney stones. <br /><br />How
does this work; by releasing excess water from your body through an
increased urine flow. (Makes you pee more) This process flushes out
bacteria from the kidneys and urinary tract system while the
anti-inflammatory properties aide in reducing swelling and soothing of
inflamed tissues. </span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span title="Edited"></span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span title="Edited">The </span></span></span><span><span><span title="Edited">analgesic
and anti-inflammatory properties have been used successfully in
relieving symptoms of arthritis, muscles cramps and menstrual cramps. </span></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;" title="Edited"><br /></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span><span><span title="Edited">An<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;"><i><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span></b></i><a href="https://beckystiller.blogspot.com/2017/08/infusing-herbal-oils.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">infused oil</span></span></a><b><i> </i></b>can be applied topically.

<span><span><i>* Goldenrod (Solidago). Best for pollen allergies with sneezing, itchy

Also very easy to make. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span title="Edited">Fill a jar about 2/3 of the
way with fresh goldenrod blossoms. Pour in raw honey until the blossoms
are covered, put on the lid and slowly shake and turn the jar until the
honey is mixed in with the blossoms. <br /><br />Depending on who you are
learning from, some people will say to leave the jar on a sunny
windowsill, others will say place out of direct sunlight, some recommend
placing in a cabinet. Anyway you choose is okay. </span></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;" title="Edited"><br /></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span><span><span title="Edited">Just be sure to turn
the jar daily. After 4-6 weeks it's ready to use. You can
strain the plant material or leave in it. The honey can be used to
soothe sore throats, cold, flu and allergy symptoms. You can add to hot
water and sip, add to hot tea, or take by the teaspoonful. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span title="Edited">A tea made with the fresh or dried blossoms offers a powerhouse of antioxidants. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span><span title="Edited">Antioxidants </span></span></span><span><span><span title="Edited"><span>work by protecting and repairing the
cells from cellular damage - Damage caused from a poor diet, chemicals
in our food, water, bath and beauty products. </span></span></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span title="Edited"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span><span><span title="Edited"><span>Air pollution, pesticides,
smoking, mental stress, emotional stress, lack of sleep. All these
factors contribute to the weakening of our inner cellular structure -
resulting in illness and at times, disease. </span><br />
<span><br /></span>This info here is just a small portion of what goldenrod has to offer for healing. Be sure to continue on from here. 😊 </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Aside from using lilac medicinally she also makes a fabulous infused honey. </span></span></span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">If you love the sweet fragrance she shares with us every spring.. that
is what the honey taste like. Just like it smells. It's delicious. And
easy to make. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">I fill a small jar about 3/4 of the way with the fresh blossoms. If you need to rinse them off, do so and then be sure to allow the blossoms to dry completely before adding honey. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next I pour
in the raw honey until the blossoms are covered. Give it a good stir,
then cover with a lid. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Those blossoms have a tendency to
float to the top of the jar. Just give the jar a gentle shake and turn
it over. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'll do this everyday for the next 2 weeks. You can go for 1 week if
you're wanting a more mild flavor. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can leave the blossoms in or strain them out before enjoying the honey. If you choose to strain, it does help if you heat the honey over a very
low heat. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">This will thin it out and make it easier to strain. Just be
sure to use that low heat and not for very long as heat does destroy
some of the medicinal properties of the honey. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can also strain
without heating the honey. Now, what to do... maybe drizzle over ice cream, fresh fruit, in
your oatmeal, on toast, add to your warm tea, or lemonade. So many
possibilities. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLEiWpdwtkFSEdYwH5I5yhABu_o2MshJZ1XGWHzMfp5EbCYDId37uAKvLfp_ZUWaD8xbn_AGuJl3yqsLsJ8vWgr65lrkcP1brwp_WdjhyEaAxuqQtnEk8VYPCTpLt79w7K5ys0W8Tm3mLww3RoQWsrMC4MT6-2Z9PlbiN75E9B0wfw0hyphenhypheneWugEXgUi_Zc/s2048/APC_4236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLEiWpdwtkFSEdYwH5I5yhABu_o2MshJZ1XGWHzMfp5EbCYDId37uAKvLfp_ZUWaD8xbn_AGuJl3yqsLsJ8vWgr65lrkcP1brwp_WdjhyEaAxuqQtnEk8VYPCTpLt79w7K5ys0W8Tm3mLww3RoQWsrMC4MT6-2Z9PlbiN75E9B0wfw0hyphenhypheneWugEXgUi_Zc/w300-h400/APC_4236.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />Those blossoms also make a delicious infused floral water. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To make, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">just
add a handful of the fresh blossoms to a glass jar then add enough water
to cover them.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Keep in mind that it doesn't take many blossoms to infuse with both flavor and fragrance. Place your jar in the refrigerator for</span> 24 hours then strain. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span dir="ltr"><span class="_3l3x _1n4g">I love sipping on a glass of chilled floral water. Oh, I just had a thought, I think I'll make some ice cubes with it too. Doesn't that sound like a good idea? 👍 </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span dir="ltr"><span class="_3l3x _1n4g">Those astringent properties make a great facial cleanser. Also acts as a facial
toner. Just dab a cotton ball into the water and apply to your face and neck area. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span dir="ltr"><span class="_3l3x _1n4g">Anti-inflammatory properties aide in the swelling associated with skin rashes and minor cuts.

The lactic acid helps to preserve the garlic. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The longer the garlic cloves are left to ferment, the more candied they will become. The enzymes, that are naturally present in the garlic and honey, will brown and soften the garlic cloves.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Over time the garlic loses it’s strong garlic flavor and the cloves themselves turn amber and take on a very sweet flavor.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Garlic honey is so easy to</b> <b>make: </b>Fill a glass jar half full of fresh, peeled, garlic cloves. Some people like to leave the cloves whole, other people like to chop them up in smaller pieces, which ever you decide will be just fine. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Next, pour raw honey slowly into the jar. It’s important to use raw honey as it has not been through a pasteurization process. Use a knife to slowly mix the garlic and honey together. Be sure the garlic cloves are completely submerged in the honey and cover with a lid.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSsKp3-EF1k-9vaKHB6HAJ51RAP1_595uEOAtM0T-st9YpBmu0iXnZfp9NItDFG4gCcIKq-P4FOmmvUHfJyHsPtRZLmniagMJw4Rk_FC-7ynEv7OYZkCvKkOct-5HMO50PlcO9CiNkOXdccstWyROvvWKv_L_x74DV-t034bqVwaHaa2M9w1pLOWjRSo/s3024/IMG_2620.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSsKp3-EF1k-9vaKHB6HAJ51RAP1_595uEOAtM0T-st9YpBmu0iXnZfp9NItDFG4gCcIKq-P4FOmmvUHfJyHsPtRZLmniagMJw4Rk_FC-7ynEv7OYZkCvKkOct-5HMO50PlcO9CiNkOXdccstWyROvvWKv_L_x74DV-t034bqVwaHaa2M9w1pLOWjRSo/w400-h400/IMG_2620.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />For the first two weeks be sure to flip the jar on end daily. In the beginning stages, you will notice that the garlic cloves float up to the top of the jar, and you’ll see some of the cloves above the honey. That’s okay, that’s why we flip the jar over daily.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Burp the jar daily by removing the lid and allowing the gases to be released. If you see bubbles, that’s the fermentation process. Replace the lid and give it a gentle shake. The burping process can take up to three weeks.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After 30 days, your garlic honey will be ready to use. The longer it sits, of course the more potent the medicinal properties are going to be. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">During this 30 day process, be sure to keep the jar stored in a cool, dark place. There are contradictions as to how to store the honey after the 30 days.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are reports where the honey should be refrigerated, and there are also reports to where the honey will be fine left sitting at room temperature, as long as it is kept in a cool, dark place. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I personally keep mine stored at room temperature in a cool, dark cabinet. I know many herbalist who have had their fermented garlic honey jars for years and still use medicinally with no issues.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While the risk is very minimal for botulism, you can test the mixture if you are concerned. Botulism can only survive in specific environments/acidity levels. To test, use pH strips. Readings under 4.6 are considered safe.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Both garlic and raw honey have an abundance of antiviral and antibacterial properties. So combined together, makes a very potent addition to one’s natural medicine cabinet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For immunity support, I take a teaspoon of the honey mixed with the cloves once a week. One could take a teaspoon daily if they are experiencing cold, flu and sore throats symptoms.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are drug interventions in regards to garlic so be sure to do your research before using medicinally.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaY5VBIE7dbSHoiSO9v87FCdtbxohDzJiQYAGN1_XPoTohfklOuPOPBn3ydqqL4OTVp9YkYT_ucNrlJmfWUAbf4CJ8RkTBrVXaZBmSJXoqhdnMJY9VH3un_H6T8SaUh0Jrcy6wHJLIEtyaEzGAby9JRYLDL7l6w5yDUJXdIoIQ3JbTxtY19kQ9TPVQrw4/s559/IMG_2622.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="559" data-original-width="395" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaY5VBIE7dbSHoiSO9v87FCdtbxohDzJiQYAGN1_XPoTohfklOuPOPBn3ydqqL4OTVp9YkYT_ucNrlJmfWUAbf4CJ8RkTBrVXaZBmSJXoqhdnMJY9VH3un_H6T8SaUh0Jrcy6wHJLIEtyaEzGAby9JRYLDL7l6w5yDUJXdIoIQ3JbTxtY19kQ9TPVQrw4/w283-h400/IMG_2622.jpeg" width="283" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>Becky Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01890876264393552960noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997280398019493226.post-34435573008621686442021-05-07T09:13:00.001-05:002024-03-28T09:27:13.192-05:00Manifesting and the Art of Allowing PDF<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WsyKRQ_xzxDCU5D_Ku9XRGG177au_8U74Y5hFRu3DcDpU-Jurge8Aqyq5RKuFqk5OyEiFNxJlor1zodS4BC2Rw3GtcHE8lQTOpfafjrohdjVf7Nb2gdSqBAyuuJlLn0D40yqsU0b6EMP_SUqW0DwgVfLbTendhrBORmEt1Lfu-Ch1gNvgjlCzV47lkk/s2250/Peach%20Be%20Yourself%20Watercolor%20Book%20Cover%202.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2250" data-original-width="1410" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WsyKRQ_xzxDCU5D_Ku9XRGG177au_8U74Y5hFRu3DcDpU-Jurge8Aqyq5RKuFqk5OyEiFNxJlor1zodS4BC2Rw3GtcHE8lQTOpfafjrohdjVf7Nb2gdSqBAyuuJlLn0D40yqsU0b6EMP_SUqW0DwgVfLbTendhrBORmEt1Lfu-Ch1gNvgjlCzV47lkk/w403-h640/Peach%20Be%20Yourself%20Watercolor%20Book%20Cover%202.png" width="403" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span>PDF</span> file $6.99</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">* PDF files are sent to your email address.

It's a lifestyle.
You may have heard the phrase, like attracts like. The emotions you are sending out on a conscious and subconscious level are in tune to how you are feeling, thus determining what you are going to continue to experience in your life.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">The gardens are waking up from their winter's rest. I found this green beauty today, </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cleavers-Galium aparine. Also known as; bedstraw, goosegrass, stickyweed, velcro plant, sticky grass. </span></span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Part used:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">fresh leaves, ripe seeds</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Medicinal Properties:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">diuretic, anti-inflammatory, lymphatic</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Benefits:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">urinary tract infections, kidney infections, stagnant lymphatic system, </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">skin aliments, breast health, coffee substitute </span></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite ways of using cleavers for lymphatic health is drinking<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <span style="color: black;">a cleaver cold infusion.</span></span> It's like spring cleaning for your insides. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once the tiny white flowers start blooming, I'll take a small handful of fresh plant material, add that to a pint jar, fill with warm water, cover and allow to steep for 2 hours at room temperature, strain then refrigerate. I'll sip on that throughout 2 -3 days. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">If the plant does call to me before it starts blooming, I will definitely harvest and use at that time. Remember, a big part of medicine making is following your intuition and that call from the plants. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid
the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary
function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid
containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are similar to the veins and capillaries of the circulatory system. The vessels are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered. The tonsils, adenoids, <span style="color: black;">spleen</span> and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system. </i><a href="https://www.livescience.com/26983-lymphatic-system.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Reference </span></a><br /><i></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have ever experienced swollen lymph glands - neck, underarm and groin area, that is due to a stagnant lymphatic system. Cleavers gently flush and get the natural flow of fluid moving again. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a diuretic,
cleavers flush out toxins from the kidneys and urinary tract. Being a
cooling herb, she also works at cooling and calming the burning and
inflammation associated with urinary tract infections. I have found that
drinking 2 cups a day of a cold infusion, until the infection has
cleared, works well for many. I take one big handful of fresh plant, add
that to a pint jar then fill with warm water and refrigerate over
night. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being an herb that works on the lymphatic system, a cleaver <a href="https://beckystiller.blogspot.com/2017/08/infusing-herbal-oils.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">infused oil</span> </a>is also used as a breast massage oil. When using in this manner, be sure to also massage the lymph nodes that are located in the underarm area. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">For those looking for a coffee substitute, when those white flowers have gone to seed you can pick, roast, ground and brew. 👍 </span></span><br />
