Garlic Oil for Ears!
11 03 2015Take a medium to large clove of garlic, remove skin, place in some time of garlic crusher until it is completely emacerated. Then add it to a small amber dropper bottle. Put in enough olive oil to fill to the top of bottle.
Get a large mug. Place the bottle in the large mug after putting in some boiling water. Allow to sit in this water for 30 minutes. When done, remove and allow to sit for a bit before using since the oil will be quite hot. Then test the oil inside your wrist. If it feels warm, but not burning it is good enough to put inside your ears. Place a couple of drops up to 4 drops into ear or ears and then put a piece of cotton baton inside each ear, enough so that the oil will not leak out. This is great for any ear infections or ear irritation and can be repeated as required.
For the Eustachian tubes it is advisable to put in a few drops of Lobelia inflata into each ear prior to putting in the garlic oil. This will help to relax and open up the Eustachian Tubes and take away ear pain. You can also rub the Lobelia on the outside just below the ears to access the Eustachian Tubes…the Lobelia will get into your blood stream through your skin in about 30 seconds.

God Is Holistic. Our Medical System is not. Which will you choose?
11 06 2013God is Holistic. When He created us we were created as one unit; body, mind, free will, spirit & emotions. As this world became less than what it was intended to be, we have lost connection between all our parts. But God gave us ways to ease our suffering until we see His face. God created all the healing plants and the people who developed remedies from all parts of the earth like Samuel Hahnemann who created Homeopathy.
Unfortunately, our medical system is tainted with greed. It started with the dissolution of the Eclectic Schools of Medicine, when a very rich family started putting their money into Medical Schools that promoted pharmaceuticals only. This was because there was and still is very big money in drugs because they can be patented. Greed has hit the Holistic side as well and you will find some remedies promoted for the sake of cash only. It is too bad, but it is the way this world is right now and to get through it to make good health choices for yourself you must be discerning and find a professional to help you with the problem you have. In fact, it is good practise to have more than one person on your health team.
The important nugget of information I want to get across is that drugs can be useful at times, with the exception of Type 1 Diabetes, most drugs should be used temporarily because they tend to suppress functions of the body and this suppresses the symptom or symptoms deeper int he body which will give you a new set of symptoms. This is NOT a holistic approach at all. This is SUPPRESSION. In fact, did you know that the word ALLOPATHY, actually means to INCREASE SUFFERING.
Now having said all that, I will say I am not against drugs. What I am against is the way our health system makes us believe it is “free health care”, when in fact, since we are one of the most taxed countries in the world…….where do you think some of that money goes to? Especially when you consider that some drugs are marked up 3,000 per cent and it is covered by the government when this is given out in hospitals.
I believe we need health reform. Not sure if that will happen. But it can happen with you. Take the time to find the cause of the problems you are having and if you pray about it see where God leads you. Sometimes it might be pharmaceuticals, but many times “no”. There is a whole world out there in Natural Medicine that might have been discovered had the Eclectic Medical Schools had the money to stay open. There is people like me that hold to their philosophy around healing you just have to seek us out.
Check out this article:http://www.planetherbs.com/history/what-is-eclecticism.html
It describes in detail Eclectic Medicine.
My heart goes out to a suffering world with huge medical expenses due to the greed of a few visionary people. It doesn’t have to be this way. We are the change. We are holistic, because we were made as one unit…think about it.

How to Administer Herbs to Babies & Small Children
19 03 2013Administering herbs to small children & babies can be challenging to say the least. There are a few things that you can have on hand to make this job easier and almost pleasant. Most of these things are to sweeten the mixture so that the child will take it. Some of these things are;
1. Maple Syrup, most kids love this one.
2. Agave Syrup, good for low carbohydrate diets.
3. Honey, good for yeast free diets.
4. Glycerine, the best choice if you don’t want added calories.
5. Straw to suck the mixture down.
6. Small syringe to squirt the mixture down their throat.
Most tinctures of herbs that have an alcohol base can be mixed with glycerine or one of the other sweeteners listed above, to sweeten slightly to get the mixture down. The more bitter the mixture, the more glycerine or other sweetener you will need. Usually if you put 1 part tincture to 1 part glycerine it will be enough to sweeten it so the child can get it down. Put it in a shot glass or another small glass and dilute a bit with purified water as well. Then you can get the child to suck it down with a straw.
When you are using powdered herbs, that is a different story. These need to be mixed into a smoothie of fruit or even mixed in with a little Aloe Vera juice with some glycerine for taste. The problem with powders is that they have a texture as well as a taste and some children have a real problem with this. The best thing in this case is to blend the powdered herb into a fruit smoothie. Berries are ideal to do this with and don’t forget to add some hemp protein powder or some vegan protein powder if you want the drink thicker but are not using dairy products for the base of the smoothie. You can also try just berries and ice cubes to make a thick shake without the protein or dairy base.
Some of the tinctures can be given as a tea to the child. Just add boiling water and honey to taste or another sweetener of your choice. This is important if the child has the flu or a cold and needs something hot to keep them warm.
Another idea to change the taste of a herbal mixture is to add either Peppermint or Spearmint essential oil to the mixture in the glass. Just a couple of drops will do.
