Some Natural Recipes

Awhile ago we bought a book full of natural recipes for health ailments, house cleaners, beauty products, and more. Here are a few:

Cough Relief:
1 Cup boiling water
2 tbsp dried thyme
1/2 Cup honey

PMS/Cramps
Avoid Caffeine and sugar. the end.
There are these awesome herbal pills called Dong Quai that work great. You can get them from any health food store. You take them 5 days before and everyday leading up to your period.

Facial Sauna
2.5 liters boiling water
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh peppermint- we used a peppermint t-bag cut open
1/2 lemon, sliced

Steep altogether for 5 minutes after water has boiled. Set bowl on table, put head into bowl and cover bowl and head with towel as to create a sauna. Stay under towel for 10 minutes. Feels awesome!

Wood furniture cleaner
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Mix together in a jar and shake well. Apply with cloth.


Those are just some of the ones we have tried and really enjoy. Hope you like them too!

Cheers to being green
