Mullein

-

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.

  To drink Milk or Not to drink milk? ......That is the question. Milk is considered a nectar in Ayurveda.   It is the loving fluid coming form the mother’s blood carrying immunity and nourishment to the offspring   - whether cow, goat or human or whatever.   When we drink milk within 24-48 hours it nourishes all our deepest tissues. All other food that takes 30 days to reach the deepest levels of our physiology. In other words, to make Ojas or all the neurotransmitter and hormones that are essential for intelligent communication and transformation of all tissues, takes 30 days.   Yes, you heard me. What you eat today is not fully assimilated for about 1 month, whereas milk is assimilated within 2 days.   That is why it is considered a nectar.

The individuals caring for the animal but treat it with kindness and respect.   They do not take the baby calf

 I have been writing this blog for several years and realized that some people are now reading it that might not know me. Here is my story. My story as a healer started early in life. At 15 my first job was as a care aide for retarded children. Then working at children's hospital in Winnipeg as a pharmacy student and after graduating as a Hospital Pharmacist working in large teaching hospitals in both Winnipeg and Ottawa. Four years into my career as a hospital pharmacist I had a rude awakening at work one day. As I was handing a large bag of medications to a man, I looked at him and in that moment "saw" that his mind and the stress in his life was the root cause of his "dis-ease".  That led me on a journey of studying psychology, becoming a teacher of The Transcendental Meditation Program and eventually getting a Master's degree in education from Maharishi International University.  I continued working as a community pharmacist and expanded my scope to incl

Magnesium - Irregular Heart Beats

 If you find yourself having irregular heart beats it definitely something to go and get checked by a competent physician.  And also it would not hurt to step up your Magnesium levels. With so many people taking Calcium, Magnesium gets out of balance. Also because of our poor food growing practices mineral in our soils are depleted and since Magnesium is needed in about 700 biochemical pathways in the body it is crucial to keep its levels up. The best way to get Magnesium into the body is through the skin. Magnesium chloride is better than Magnesium sulphate (Epsom Salts) as it is better assimilated.  There are many ways to get this.  Also I recently read that homeopathic Magnesium carbonate 30CH has been beneficial in reducing heart palpitations in some people.  No sides effects and inexpensive so it would be worth a try. Motherwort has also been used for irregular heart beats: Here is what Grandpa Google says about Motherwort.  "Motherwort is used for heart conditions, including
