easy home remedies

i take this herb class every thursday evening with john redden. he's amazing. his herb clinic and shoppe are called viriditas and it's amazing how much knowledge and information this man has.
here are some of the things we've been busy with.

 garlic honey

whole garlic cloves topped with organic honey. we let this sit for about a month. then strained the garlic out and were left with the honey infused garlic. 

kai had a terrible cough last week. i put dropperfuls of this into his mouth, he gladly opened, and within 2 days his cough was gone. this is a really great home remedy and super easy to make.

 horseradish

blended in the vitamix

on the left- horseradish with mustard powder and apple cider vinegar

on the right- horseradish with mustard powder, apple cider vinegar and tumeric

this stuff tastes amazing! it is a bit spicy and full of amazing medicinal qualities.

horseradish for the lungs, tumeric for its anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant/anti-cancer and liver promoting properties and mustard powder for its anti-inflammatory/immune enhancing benefits

i made a salad dressing tonight with olive oil, lemon and honey and then added a tsp of this paste into the dressing and tossed onto the salad. so easy to get into the kids this way! (mine eat salad. you can also put into rice, pasta sauce, soups and stews)
