Recipes From The Country Doctor
Recipe Feet Heat
This recipe is easy… when participating in cold winter outdoor activities, try putting on a pair of thin inner socks, and then a pair of thicker outer socks in which you’ve shaken a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Guaranteed to warm your sole.
Mustard plaster
A mustard pack, or plaster, is a well known folk remedy used for hundreds of years. It is excellent for aches, sprains, and eliminating mucus from the lungs. Mustard plasters are usually placed on the chest to draw out mucus congestion, dispel coldness, relieve asthma, eliminate coughs and heal colds and flu. They can also be put on other places to treat body and joint aches and pains and heal watery, oozing and chronic sores and boils.
Mustard Plaster Recipe Garlic & Onion Plaster
4 tablespoons flour puree garlic and onions with olive oil
2 tablespoons dry mustard follow same directions as the mustard plaster
Water (lukewarm)
SUN TEA
For 1 gallon. Fill clear gallon jar with distilled water, add 1 cup herb mixture of your choice (or 12 tea bags), sit in sunshine for 4-6 hours, strain. ( if you want to sweeten the tea, try using ¾ gallon water, steep and strain then add 1 quart organic apple juice.
Renee’s Vinegarette Dressing
½ c chopped garlic, ½ of chopped horseradish. Finely chop the vegetables, pack into a jar, fill with half water and half organic apple cider vinegar, agitate daily for 14 days, strain, filter and bottle. Note: I blend the remaining garlic and Horseradish and make horseradish sauce.
Super Easy cough syrup
Put the lemon into a quart of cold water and bring to a simmer for 20 minutes. Put the lemon into a bowl, (use tongs, it’s hot!) and cut in half. Spoon out the lemon, inner rind and all, then blend with ½ c honey for a quick and tasty cough syrup.
Pessary – A Pessary is a vaginal suppository. The following recipe is antiseptic and very soothing for the vaginal wall. ¼ ounce Goldenseal, ¼ ounce slippery elm powder, ¾ oz. cocoa butter. Melt the cocoa butter in a saucepan, stir in the herbs until the mixture stiffens and can be worked into small cylinders approximately ¼ inch in diameter and 1 inch long. Lay on plate, cover with paper towel, refrig until harden. The pessary will melt and disperse its ingredients in the vagina over a period of hours. It is wise to use a pad to prevent stains on clothing.
BUG REPELLANT OIL
The principle herbs which repel insects are citronella, Pennyroyal, Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Rue and Lavender. Add one or a combination of these oils to create a formula that is three parts olive or almond oil to one part essential oil.
TANNING OIL
To make a tanning oil that has no sun block, combine 1 ounce melted cocoa butter, 2 ounces coconut oil, 1 ounce sesame oil and 500 units vitamin E oil. If you want sun block, add zinc oxide or PABA (check safety research on these substances first)
