Herbal Remedies for everyday use! ;)

Thanks Annie, I want this book!

I am a truly blessed woman. The process of building my website and writing and blogging about herbs for the last 7 years has let me experiment, taste, grow and learn about medicinal plants while making a living. I am profoundly grateful to all the readers of this website for helping me realize this dream. When I first started my goal was to profile 50 herbs, those "sweet herbs" in the classic sense, who have essential oils. But I kept finding one more, and one more and as time when on my list soon swelled over a 350 different medicinal plants. The advent of the internet has opened the door to even easier access to the exotic herbs used worldwide. I realized a long time ago that I will never run out of new and interesting herbs to profile on this website, of new and old herbal remedies to test, refine and post in the database.
kitchen medicine So the problem becomes one of an abundance of wealth. How to choose between all of these fascinating, healing, and wondrous plants to recommend to you, dear reader for use in your home. The method I settled upon was this. If I were to make up a basic package of herbs, teas, oils to give to friend, with simple instructions for use, not wanting to overwhelm them with learning about the properties and actions of 300 different herbs, these are the ones I would choose. If you were to ask me, out of all the remedies posted on this website, which ones do I use myself in everyday life, these are the ones.
"Kitchen medicine" profiles forty-four of the most popular and useful healing plants with easy to follow instructions on how to use them. These herbal remedies take you step by step on how to blend tasty and effective herbal teas, create your own custom herbal oils and salves for health and beauty, and use essential oils to kill germs and infections as well as emotional healing.

kitchen medicine bookWhat is Kitchen Medicine? Some things are plainly food like potatoes, although they can be used in home remedies, (raw slices on black eyes). Their main function is to provide carbohydrates and some minerals in our diets. Some things are plainly medicine like aspirin, though its beginnings were in nature as an extract of white willow bark. Some things are harder to classify, and occupy that place where food and medicine intersect in our lives to become one and the same thing. Cayenne pepper is food, but also contains a powerful pain reliever, onions and garlic are antiseptic as well as tasty; celery, grapes, apples, and oats all have the capacity to heal as well as nourish. Food is medicine, and our medicines should for the most part be food.
Herbs combined with a bulk, organic items like vinegar, olive oil, and beeswax are the ultimate practical persons answer to living a good life on a limited budget, and help us to make the best use out of what we have.

Because of my work I keep a large inventory of dried herbs, medicinal oils and essential oils in my kitchen, which doubles as my home apothecary. The kitchen is the true heart of the home, and the center of operations of the home herbalist who does not recognize the artificial dividing line between food and medicine. Over time I noticed that the herbs I used most often tended not to be the exotic ones, but to be the most common and inexpensive ones, like peppermint, cinnamon, and ginger. Out of the thousands of possibilities, these core group of herbs are the ones I can't live my life without, the ones who get used the most, end up in my tea cup the most often, the ones who prompt an order to my wonderful supplier when they run low. Bonus points are awarded to those plants who will grow in my back yard garden. These are the herbs that in many cases have inspired me to go to botanical gardens, peruse seed catalogs, and break the earth in the spring to plant them in my back yard. The visitors to AnniesRemedy.com seem to agree. With all the world to choose from in this age of the internet, the most popular and most searched for herbs by our website visitors are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (The Scarborough fair herbs). Coconut oil, lavender, calendula, ginger, and cayenne pepper are also among the very popular and practical herbs you will learn how to use in this handy e-book.

HEAL THE PLANET - PLANT A TREE

                     
You have heard this before,
although you have never had the chance to create such an impact.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL TREE!

Imagine if you will, a tree so full of nutrients, it can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and even enable a malnourished mother to nurse her starving baby.   Imagine if there was a tree than can purify dirty water, can treat diabetes and control high blood pressure. Imagine if this same tree is drought-resistant and can grow under harsh conditions in countries suffering from poverty and hunger.
 

Moringa - The Miracle Tree

There is such a tree...it's called Moringa Oleifera, known also as The Miracle Tree. There are 13 varieties of Moringa, Moringa Oleifera is the most well known.
The young pods can be cooked and reportedly have a taste reminiscent of asparagus. The green peas and surrounding white material can be removed from larger pods and cooked in various ways.



Moringa is more than a super food.

It is a food and commercial  resource that can change peoples lives.  There are many serious social workers, NGO’s, missionaries, doctors and research scientists and just regular people that are realizing and exploiting it’s potential for alleviating suffering around the world, taking advantage of its rapid growth and outstanding nutritional profile to improve lives. Moringa Farms is allied with many of these individuals or groups with the aim of making more people aware of its many beneficial effects


 


 




















Moringa medicinal qualities
  are tantalizing.
Moringa can be effective against skin infections, Moringa is used for lowering blood sugar, Moringa is helpful in reducing swelling and in healing gastric ulcers, Moringa is used for lowering blood pressure and Moringa can be used for calming the nervous system.

 IMAGINE ALL THOSE PERSONAL BENEFITS
FROM PLANTING A TREE AND
YOU ARE HELPING THE EARTH TO CREATE OXYGEN TOO !

 I LOVE MORINGA !

~  SUPER NUTRITION - RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD!  ~
If you love salad greens, spinach, collards, and other greens, you will LOVE moringa! Right off the tree, it almost has a spinach-watercress taste. Steamed, or sautéed with a touch of butter, olive oil or coconut oil, it almost tastes like "pecan" spinach. It is tender, delicious, and highly nutritious.  It is also one FAST growing tree! Some Moringa trees are slender, some have "bottle trunks", some are tuberous. All of them are beneficial.

A few years ago, I was introduced to Moringa. With the exorbitant cost of fresh food at the grocery stores and supermarkets, we decided to plant as much in the way of edible landscaping as we could.  Planting Moringa was essential. It is one incredible powerhouse of fresh nutrition.

Above is a photo of the top of one of my Moringa trees. It is about 4' tall, at only a few months old. Already, we have picked and eaten a lot of the leaves. Moringa can be grown in your yard, in your garden, as a windbreak, as a hedge, or in a container - inside or out. It is basically a tropical tree, so it loves water, sunlight, and warmth.  Moringa Oleifera is one of the fastest-growing biomasses on the planet - easy to grow, and wonderful to eat.

We recommend that you eat the leaves - fresh, cooked, or dried, the flowers - cooked, the young pods - cooked, and the seeds - cooked.   Moringa seeds, crushed into powder,  can be used to purify water.
The ROOT - which tastes like horseradish - LEAVE ALONE . The root bark contains a substance that can be extremely toxic to your nervous system. Too much of it can harm you. How much? No one seems to know. Our advice - don't eat it!
