A journey into food - cooking and modifying food for my allergy-ridden daughter. It has been a total journey and I am still learning. I have homeopathic and naturalistic tendencies but I am also a very busy person and I need simplicity. Join the journey!

Making Salves
So it is not really a food issue but I feel we as a society have gotten too far away from natural remedies. I have ventured into the world of salves. The first one I made was chickweed for itching! The next one I made was Blueberry Leaf for eczema and Eric said that it is working. I then made a lemon mash for migraines. The true test of that was this evening when Eric had migraine - and - it worked. Now, I am making calming balm with lavendar, spearmint and chamomile then an antiseptic neosporin type salve with comfrey, calendula and yarrow...yarrow is a miracle flower...we'll see. The reason why I am doing this besides the one I mentioned before is that Carmen's allergies do not stop at food - she has problems with antibiotics too.
