Herbs heal again!

One of these days I will get smart and start taking pictures of yucky things that need to be healed and then tracking the healing process. I have watched some great healings and have never taken a picture! Oh well.

About a month ago, my husband told me my son had something on his toe that needed to be addressed. I had not seen it because my son didn't want to show me- afraid I would put x-ceptic on it. He didn't understand that x-ceptic only hurts if it is on broken skin! I was rushing about as usual and forgot about it. Then about a week ago, my husband again mentioned the foot bump. It looked like a wart on the bottom of his ring toe. (As it turns out it was a plantar wart). So, I told dh to put some black walnut tincture on it followed by duct tape. The second day, as my husband was taping him up, my son kept yelling ow! That is when I realized it was a plantar wart. I went and go some dandelion flower stalks and leaves picked at the base and brought them in. My silly son proclaimed, "Mom! Those are weeds! What are you doing with the weeds?!" (I was shocked to hear him say this because we are always harvesting "weeds" for food or medicine.) So, I explained that the milky sap in the dandelion was good for plantar warts. I dropped the sap on and then put more black walnut tincture. The wart no longer was covered by his skin. Instead, it looked like the calloused skin was splitting open and literally spitting out the wart. Over the next couple of days, we repeated the black walnut tincture and dandelion sap (2 more days). Some bandage changes yielded a larger bump that would not allow the duct tape to stick because every time dh would put the bandage on the tape would pop off due to the sloughing off of the dead wart. Yesterday I realized that my son wasn't yelling ow anymore at bandage changes. The wart is letting go. After 5 days, the wart has begun to shrink and the skin is beginning to close up again. It is amazing to watch the body heal and know what to do!

Wheat grass juice without a wheat grass juicer

If you have ever read about wheat grass juice, you will know that most people talk about using a juicer to extract the juice. Well, I don't have a juicer that will do wheat grass, and I don't have the money to buy one, but I needed to take wheat grass juice... So, I take my wheat grass and place it in my vitamix. Add 1/4-1/2 cup of water and blend. Then strain by pouring it through a mesh strainer into a cup and pressing out all the green juice with a spoon. After a little bit, you can use your fingers and squeeze every last drop out of the blended cellulose. You should be left with a pale green almost white mass of cellulose and a glass of dark emerald green juice. Yum! Be sure to "chew" your juice and taste the yummy sweetness.

Blending Herbs

I have been doing Dr. Christopher's Extended Herbal Cleanse. I made up some Liver and Gallbladder formula as well as some Kidney and Bladder and some Lower Bowel formulas. The Lower Bowel formula contains red raspberry leaf. If you have ever tried to powder raspberry leaf, you may have found that it is apt to fluff up and fly around your grinder but never do any powdering... I have discovered the secret! Layer the raspberry leaf between other herbs. In this case, I was using my vitamix dry blender (you must be careful not to blend for too long or it will heat up) I put in half the ingredients, then the red raspberry leaf, and then the rest on top. Poof- no fluffing up, nicely powdered red raspberry leaf fully mixed with the other herbs. Life is good.

On a side note, after 2 weeks of only taking Lower Bowel formula, Hormonal Changease, Female Reproductive, Wheatgerm oil, and the Master Gland formula, eating really well (ok I cheated once or twice a tiny amount), green smoothies almost every day, especially with carrot tops or fresh wheat grass juice, and 2 castor oil packs over night I am pain free. I started to feel a little off the other day as I am nearing ovulation, but I took it easy, continued with my routine and I am doing well. I was told by most people that it took 6 months to be rid of the ovarian cyst. I can still tell that I am healing from it, but the pain is gone. On to more healing!
