only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
I’m really trying to get back into my soapmaking and lotion making. I have so many herbs and essential oils just screaming for attention. Every time I walk past my ingredients and supplies, I get a little ache. I love doing that stuff!
Recently someone asked about natural remedies for a particular ailment. I used to know that stuff off the top of my head but it’s been so long that I found myself going to my old computer to look through my notes. I suppose if I start back up again with the herbs, I’ll need to read through my notes and re-learn everything.
It’s interesting that so many ailments can be treated with plants that grow wild. I even have notes on herbal blends that can help when trying to quit smoking. It’s important to be careful, even with so called “natural” remedies, though.
I realize the skeptics will say that herbs don’t help or that it’s all hype and there’s no proof and that’s fine. I know different. There are skeptics who will dismiss anything, from cancer cures to Botox for migraines. And yet these medical treatment exist and work also. Just as herbs do, with the right knowledge about them.
I guess the only question that remains is whether or not I can find the time to make a batch of soap and get back into this. I say yes. What do you think?
