We begin with the herbs. I do not believe in homeopathy or any of that crap ... what I do believe is what works. I can explain the functions of each of the following herbs, but I'll leave it at instruction for those who need it.
#Albizia julibrissin
Making an alcohol tincture is your best route for using this herb. Take the flowers, and just enough alcohol to cover them completely. Let this sit for upward of a week, and drink. Only enough for about a shot is needed.
This is a powerful #anxiolytic, controlling #anxiety and #panic. By much the same function, it's also effective in treating #pain and #tension, in a #muscle relaxant capacity. In a short-active fashion, depression is also somewhat treatable this way but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that. It's very difficult to treat yourself for depression without slipping into abuse.
#Anti-inflammatory, similar to aspirin. #Expectorant, which is one half of why cough medicines work, and is the key to easing and allowing the body to heal itself if possible from pneumonia. #Diaphoretic, and it also can stimulate milk flow in nursing women. It's a very useful herb to keep around. This one takes no preparation of any kind, just eat it in the place of cucumbers or similar.
#Sweet Root
#Calamus, or Sweet Root, isn't exactly an herb. It's a root cutting, which is another class of healing tools. Primarily, the roots tend to be significantly more powerful, and need a bit more care in dosing, which does need some training. That said
Sweet Root can be dried and crushed, and to for #stomach and #menstrual #cramps, #gas, #ulcers, and #stimulate #appetite. For a lot of us, those are daily problems and this can be a wonderful thing to have.
I'll leave it there for now, and continue in another post if anybody actually has interest. I do hope some of you do, because looking around ... can any of you say you aren't on synthetics currently to control these very same things that your food could do much to help? Nature was built just for You ... use it as directed.
