Jewelweed broth

Jewelweed broth

Not only is this a tasty cold soup for summertime, it is a superior remedy for poison ivy rash.
Sipping 2-4 cups of jewelweed broth, hot or cold, will quell both skin and joint inflammation.

Harvest jewelweed (Impatiens pallida or canadensis) by pulling every 4th or 5th plant up by the roots. We are using the entire plant. The redder the root, the more effective this remedy.
At home, rinse your jewelweed and place it, roots and all, in a pan, pressing it down very well.
Add just enough cold water to barely cover the jewelweed and bring to a boil.
Simmer, covered, until the water is orange.
Cool, then refrigerate or pour into ice cube trays and freeze.

Surgery for a mass on Ovary

Surgery for a mass on Ovary

An email question is read on blogtalkradio. The emailer says she has a mass in her ovary and an enlarged uterus. She has to have surgery and possibly and hysterectomy because the mass is large. She asks if Susun has any advice for her. Susun talks about her own surgery for a hernia and the love those closest to her sent her. She goes on to talk about the Seven Rivers of healing.
This audio is just over 6:00 minutes long.

Elder Flower Champagne

Elder Flower Champagne
I learned how to make this in New Zealand twenty years ago and have made it yearly since. The best part? It is ready to drink in a few days. I share two recipes with you. Both are wonderful but they do taste slightly different.

Oraina’s Elder Flower Champagne

7-10 heads of elder blossoms
1 pound white sugar
2-3 lemons
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
16 cups water
Dissolve sugar in four cups of boiling water.
Slice lemons thinly. Put lemons, sugar water, vinegar, and the rest of the water into a plastic bucket
or other non-metal container.
Lastly, add elder blossoms, heads down. Cover loosely and leave for 24 hours, then strain, bottle, and cork.
(The lemons can be used for a second batch of champagne.)
Leave for as long as possible before drinking.
I have kept some for as much as a dozen years.
Simply Living Elder Flower Champagne
10 heads of elder flowers
4 lemons
1 heaping tablespoon of cream of tartar
2 cups white sugar
18 cups water
Grate lemon rind finely; only the colored part, not the bitter white part.
Then cut the lemons and squeeze the juice.
Combine lemon rind, lemon juice, sugar, water, cream of tartar, and elder flowers in a plastic bucket or
other non-metal container.
Cover loosely and leave for 24 hours, then strain, bottle, and cork.
Ready to drink in a week!

Oatstraw

Oatstraw (Avena sativa) is the herb of longevity in the Auryuvedic system of India. It restores nervous system integrity, emotional flexibility, and sexual flow. Oats and oatstraw are exceptionally good at nourishing heart health and moderating cholesterol. Oatstraw infusion (not tea, not tincture, not capsules) provides lots of protein, all macro- and trace-mineral in high amounts, and very high amounts of B vitamins - excepting vitamin B12.

A cup of oatstraw infusion contains more than 300 milligrams of calcium plus generous amounts of many other minerals. Its steroidal saponins nourish the pancreas and liver, improving digestion and stabilizing moods. Oatstraw is best known however for its ability to enhance libido and mellow the mood. Do be careful whom you share it with, or you may find yourself sowing some wild oats.

Evergreen Oil

Evergreen Oil
There are so many uses for an antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-tumor oil.
Collect needles and twigs of any aromatic evergreen: cedar, juniper, hemlock, spruce, pine. You will also need a bone dry jar, some olive oil, and a label or two.
Fill the jar very full of evergreen needles and twigs. You may leave them whole or cut them. Make sure their uppermost tips are well below the top of the jar.
Fill the jar to the top with pure olive oil (or other oil of your choice). It is best if there is a “head” of oil floating over the evergreen. Cap well.
Label, including date, on front and top. Place jar in a bowl to catch overflow. Ready to use in six weeks.
