The New Beginning

Hello, Readers. I know that this is my first Blog, and you all don't know much about me, so I am going to start today with an introduction of who I am.

My name is Bri. I live in a very busy, wonderful family. I am the Moma that holds the gang together. Early last year I decided to look into my life a little and make some changes. I have grown happy this last year in the knowledge of who I am, and where I plan to go.

I live with my wonderful soul-mate and my three children. I have two daughters and one son. Then my gram, who I call my Moma.  With us is also my sister. We are like I said, a very busy family. My time is spent driving them around, studying my craft, and trying to keep myself sane. But I enjoy it and love them very much.

So, in learning my craft, I have gone to learn a lot of holistic approaches to healing. I have been working hard to collecting recipes and things for all that ails you. One day I would LOVE to have a holistic shop that sold brews and what-nots to help cure those that want a non-doctor way of life. Who knows, I may just do it.

Until then, I will just supply things to those that ask for them. I am working on teas to help cure stomach aches. The current plague on our family. My sister is having some kind of digestive problems. I personally have problems of the womanly kind that I am working on. Though, if I ever find that cure for ADHD I will be so glad to give it to my daughter. Man, she drives me nuts sometimes. LOL

Well, today's recipe I am going to share is for a sore throat. We have that currently passing through from family member to family member. I think that would be fitting as my first post. I look forward to having readers join in and add their recipes and what not when they have the chance. I am looking to find friends, aquaintances and fellow green witches to talk to do to my little life on the web. I know that we will be doing the planet a great justice to try to find ways to cure the world's ailments. Just think, if there were an apocalype, the people with the herbal knowledge would be the ones to help cure you! LOL

Sore throat tea:

1 tsp. black tea
1 tsp. mullein flower
1 tsp. raspberry leaf

With teas, Boil fresh cold water in a tea kettle; warm china/ceramic tea pot with hot water, pour out, add loose tea or in a teaball in china/ceramic pot; add boiling water over the leaves. Leave to steep 3-5 minutes; pour tea through strainer into tea cup or strain into fresh, warmed tea pot and serve with milk, sweetner, lemon to taste. Cover tea pot with cozy to keep tea warm. Drink only 2-4 cups per day as tea in general acts as a diuretic and some herbs are not healthy in large doses.
