Make Your Own Natural Herbal Healing Save

Herbal Healing Salve

I'm not really sure what Id do without my multi-purpose homemade healing salve. I use in on gardening-inflicted sunburns, martial arts blisters, the grandsons chapped cheeks and hands, insect bites, and the dogs scrapes and scratches. Herbal healing salves are gentle, soothing, balms made from natural herbal ingredients; generally speaking theyre safe to use on kids, pets and all people, and are naturally soothing and healing. In this sample recipe, herbally infused oil is chock-full of natural healing powers, Vitamin E oil contributes antioxidants and wound-healing abilities, tea tree oil provides antimicrobial, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, and lavender essential oil works its magic on burns (and adds a little soothing aromatherapy to boot!).

Basic Recipe:
1 cup herbally infused oil
1 2 oz. Beeswax
10 capsules Vitamin E Oil
tsp. each tea tree and lavender essential oils

In a small pan, gently heat the herbally infused oil and beeswax until barely melted. Cut or poke the vitamin E capsules open, and squeeze the vitamin E oil into the beeswax/oil mixture. Remove from heat, and add the essential oils. Pour a tiny amount of the salve mixture onto waxed paper or into a container to cool. Test it for thickness if youd like it to be harder, add more beeswax. If youd like it to have a thinner balm, add more oils.
When youre satisfied with the consistency, pour the balm into clean jars and let cool. This all-purpose salve can be used for cuts, scrapes, splinters, diaper rash, burns, rashes, or for dry skin.

To make an herbally infused oil: In a saucepan, combine dry herbs and a vegetable oil (we like olive, but just about any kind will do). Specific proportions are not important use a few generous handfuls of herbs and use enough oil to cover them. Heat over lowest possible heat for several hours three minimum, we usually try for 12 or 15 alternatively, use a crock-pot on the low setting. Strain out the herbs and use your herbally infused oil to make balms, or as a massage oil, bath oil, or as a great winter moisturizer. Herbs to try: chamomile, comfrey, plantain, St. Johns Wort, calendula.

Natural Pain Relief

Natural Pain Relief
The ancients didn't open a medicine cabinet when they had aches and pains -- they relied on these proven methods of natural healing! Now you can put them to work to banish pain and restore balance to the body. Jin Shin Do is a form of acupressure which releases blocked energy or "chi." These blockages often manifest as pain, discomfort and illness. Deborah Valentine Smith, senior practitioner at this technique, shows you key acupressure points and demonstrates how to work them to rid yourself of headaches, jaw pain and much more. Reflexology works on the premise that the feet literally mirror the body. By working certain parts of the foot, you can heal the rest of the body. Elaine Hyams Koelmel, licensed massage therapist, "walks" you through the safe, simple techniques of this healing art -- which you can immediately apply to yourself or someone else. Awareness Through Breathing and Visualization with Jeanne Anselmo, Co-director of Holistic Nursing Associates in New York, is an easy guided meditation that lets you experience firsthand the powerful healing energies of relaxed breathing. Build on that with a lesson in visualization you can use anytime to encourage your body to overcome pain or illness.

Small Pesto Verdi Ernani

Small Pesto Verdi Ernani
Pesto Verdi Ernani is a premium rich sauce with nothing but oil, garlic, and herbs. No preservatives added. We call it our primo sauce. Ernani was the first pesto that we developed just like it was Verdi's first opera.

Small Pesto Verdi Falstaff

Small Pesto Verdi Falstaff
Falstaff was Verdi's last and only comic opera. It ends with the idea of "Tutto nel mondo é burla" meaning everything in the world is a joke. What a nutty thing to say! But, we took this idea and made Falstaff our only sauce that contains nuts.
