Continually Amazed at the inspiration from the Lord

I tend to get random thoughts about herbal combinations. They usually are given to me with a purpose in mind. I have learned to write those inspirations down as soon as I receive them because invariably I will forget them. I usually write down the purpose too... but one time I did not. Anyway, I had a list of herbs on my fridge for quite a while and one day when I was making herbal glycerin extracts I made that formula up even though I couldn't figure out what it was for. I knew it had something to do with colds etc since it had elder and astragalus and red raspberry leaf. But, I have lots of cold formulas and I wasn't sure why that one. I have since used it on many occasions with a sick child, but not always. I still have yet to pinpoint the exact use of the formula. Anyway, today a friend was coming over to get a bottle of Dr. Christopher's Infection formula because she has a UTI. As I was setting the formula on the porch, I felt inspired to set out a dropper bottle full of the mystery formula. I told her what I wrote above and left it at that. She came and got the bottles and immediately took some of the glycerite. She said it took away the painful urination immediately, calmed her tummy (she is pregnant and has all day sickness), and made her feel much better. Wow! I am so grateful for the gentle promptings of the Spirit and the Lord's herbs to heal.

Fast forward to this afternoon, out of curiousity I began doing some digging into the formulation and noticed that all the herbs in that formula, while not the cranberry and parsley and juniper that most think of for the kidney bladder area, are beneficial for UTI's. Hurray a new use for my mystery formula :) Guess it isn't such a mystery anymore.
