I got a great recipe from an old herbal, that I have used for years to make Mullein syrup,  You take the whole mature plant in its second year: roots leaves stem and flowers and put it into your largest pot. Cover it with spring water and bring to a boil and simmer for 4-6 hours on low.  Strain and simmer until it is down to 1/2 volume. Then add either vegetable glycerin or honey in equal amount and store in fridge. Take 1 tablespoonful 2-3 times a day in warm water or wash it down with warm water. See previous entry about its benefits and how it has helped people in amazing ways.

However before we could start talking about life style and food and digestion there was a big piece of the puzzle that had to be addressed and that was her emotional start that was often in fight of flight or freeze and it prevented REST AND DIGEST.  When we are under a lot of stress our body releases Cortisol that then produces adrenaline when shrinks our blood vessels and shuts down healthy circulation. When we sit down to eat we need to be in a restful state. It's most important that we put our undivided attention on our food.  Ou...
