This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » mastiffs2005 - Hi Carol! I was wondering what the Opal Basil was... what type of recipe would you use cinnamon flavored basil in? The lemon sounds wonderful! Will definitely have to grow some next year.Have a wonderful night! -- posted by mastiffs2005 » mastiffs2005 - Hi Jerri! Thanks so much... yes, it would make a lovely gift! Mariah, I'm going to delete your last post just to clear up the font tag... might want to check your sig and add the [/font] at the end *smile* Glad to see you back, and hope to see you again soon! Both of you have a wonderful day! -- posted by mastiffs2005 » debbieh13 - Green Guide to Herb Gardening I just found your review on my book. Thanks so much for the favorable review. I tried very hard to make this book interesting enough for the seasoned herbalist and not-so-complicated for the beginner. I hope I succeeded. The book has sold relatively well so I must be doing something right. I am currently working on the second book in the series with 10 more herbs. Thanks again.-- posted by debbieh13 » mastiffs2005 - Re: Green Guide to Herb Gardening In response to message posted by debbieh13:Hello Debbie! I'm very pleased to meet you! Yes, I'd agree you're doing something right *smile* And I can't wait for your next book and even more herbs! Have a wonderful day and drop in any time! -- posted by mastiffs2005 » CarolWallace - An herb for you to look up In response to message posted by CheekHypno:Does the book happen to mention an herb called Gutta Kola - or something along those lines? The doctor I just saw for my fibro evaluation recommended that to me, along with turmeric and ginger. And also arnica, which he said helps greatly with the aches and pains. Luckily they are all available at our local health food store - and one of my favorite nurseries specializes in all kinds of healing herbs. -- posted by CarolWallace » mastiffs2005 - Re: An herb for you to look up In response to message posted by CarolWallace:You can find Gotu Kola in post 67, here: http://www.suite101.com/discussion.cfm/h... I'll look up the other ones for you after dinner, Carol, unless Debbie drops back in LOL... I think I like your new doctor a lot, btw! HUGS, -- posted by mastiffs2005 » mastiffs2005 - Re: An herb for you to look up In response to message posted by CarolWallace:TURMERIC A cleanser for all systems in the body, as wel as a digestive aid. It also treats fever, infections, arthritis and circulation. It says for arthritis type pain, you can warm 1 cup of milk and remove it from the heat before it boils. Stir in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and you can drink up to 3 cups of this a day. GINGER Ginger is a muscle relaxant, digestive aid, and physical and spiritual cleanser. It says in the book, Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies, that the Greeks wrapped the root in a piece of bread and ate it after a heavy meal to prevent indigestion... this is the origin of gingerbread *smile* And I believe Karyn posted an interesting recipe for gingerale/ginger tea at her site. http://www.suite101.com/discussion.cfm/l... ARNICA This one is used for aches and bruises, rheumatism, gout and dystentery. You can get arnica in a cream to rub on sprains and bruises or take internally for cases of shock. It also stimulates the healing of damaged tissue and is excellent for long-term joint and muscle pain. It says here, that it is also good for concentration! I give your doc an A+ *grin* Love & Hugs, -- posted by mastiffs2005 » CarolWallace - Re: Re: An herb for you to look up In response to message posted by CheekHypno:What surprised me was the arnica. I thought he meant as a lotio too - but he says it comes in tiny pellets that you let dissolve under your tongue. I KNOW you'd like my new doctor - he is part of a Center for Integrative Medicine - all holistic practitioners who do everything from massage through psychotherapy to Reiki, teach Tai Chi and more. I can't fathom why an insurance company would have chosen someone like that as their evaluator - sitting in the lobby waiting to see him I felt better and better about my chances of success simply because I knew he'd look at something more than how tender my trigger points were. -- posted by CarolWallace » mastiffs2005 - Cool! In response to message posted by CarolWallace:Sounds like a nice place to spend the weekend... do you think you could get us both committed?? Of course I can't pay them, but maybe they'd let me work my bill off by Reiki'ing folks LOL Keep us posted on this place... it sounds like my dream clinic!
