Led, walking......no running through the heart flowers the smell of lilacs and daisies....so soothing Lost in the imagery of delusion and safety, blinded by the sun Disguised as the ending, but it was only the beginning... A cocoon, so consuming that reality became the enemy The air was different, the horizon beautiful..... Completely unaware of the PULL taking place, slowly, painfully, as skin separating from the bone Sludge leaked, blood dripped That blinding sun turned droll The lilacs turned into hands, reinforcing the PULL Until the separation completes. Safely shot that .22 It lay in the dirt crying out for help, screaming in agony "Who are you?" I asked........."I am you." -Angel Gondola in Venice 🇮🇹 #gondola #gondola #gondolaride #venice🇮🇹 #veniceitaly #veniceca #italy #italy🇮🇹 #italy🇮🇹❤️ #italian #grandcanal #grandcanalvenice #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #traveling #traveler #travelbloggers #travelblogger #travelblog #travelpic #traveltheworld #seetheworld #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #wanderlust #wanderer

Atlanta .....I called this place my home for 13 years. The best socially active city in the U.S. In my book! #atl #atlanta #atl🍑 #atlantaferriswheel #centinnialpark #centinnialolympicpark #atlshawty #travelphotography #travelpics #travelbug #travelgram #travel #teavelblogger #travelbloggers #travelbloggerlife #traveler #seetheworld #seetheworldwithme #explore #exploretheworldThe use of herbal remedies has been rediscovered in recent years. People are becoming more interested in learning how to use herbs to treat different ailments. For centuries, herbal remedies have been the main source of medical treatment for over 80% of the world. The United states alone consumes 50% of the world's prescription drugs, yet ranks as the 42nd country on the life expectancy chart. * Which attributes to the fact that herbs are effective when used correctly, and they deserve more credit than currently given.
This article will focus on the very basic use of herbs, how they're prepared, and purchased for treatment. I'll begin with the more common uses first. Tea Tea is the simplest and most common way to prepare herbal remedies. When the more delicate parts of the plant are used, such as the flowers, leaves, and stems (the above ground portion of the plant,) it is called an infusion. When the tougher, underground parts of the plants are used (roots, stems, barks, and coarser leaves,) it is called a decoction. Teas remain the favorite form of administration among seasoned herbalist, and the best choice for chronic, long-term illnesses. It's as simple as boiling the herb in water, then straining the leaves. The tea can be consumed hot, at room temperature, or iced. You can even make frozen pops for the kids. Herbal teas in the bag can be found in almost every local grocery store. Tinctures Tinctures are a very highly concentrated, and potent form of herbs that should be carefully administered. Typically a tincture is an herb steeped in 80+ proof alcohol and then strained. The remaining alcohol content is very low. There are non-alcoholic versions using vinegar, distilled water, or glycerin. However, they are not as strong. Tinctures are administered by using a dropper in a bit of water. Capsules & Pills Another way to take herbs is by pills or capsule. For the capsules, the herbs are ground into a powdered form and placed into a clear veggie capsule. In pill form, the herb is ground and mixed with natural, "sticky" ingredients and shaped into pea size balls. Baths This is my favorite! Herbal baths are a wonderful way to relieve the body of today's stress. Depending on what herbs you use, you can use a bath to uplift, revitalize, relax, and decongest. The skin is the largest organ of elimination and absorption, so baths are very effective. Hand and footbaths are beneficial as well. Essential Oils Essential oils are another absolute favorite of mine and have greatly increased in popularity over recent years. They are simply the "essence" of the herb in a highly concentrated form. You can get the benefit of any herb by simply smelling these little babies. The uses are endless. I add a few drops to my homemade oil based hair sprays, house cleaning concoctions, body moisturizers, a pillow mist for sleep aids, and so much more. Recently I purchased a diffuser, which is a small device that creates a mist out of your oils, to fill the room with delightful aroma. You can mix and match your scents according to the time of day. For example: When I wake in the morning, I'll use uplifting and alert scents like lemon, peppermint, and orange. At night I'll use more calming oils like lavender and chamomile. These are the basic and most popular forms of taking herbs. Some other options are ointments, salves, candy, infused oils, and syrups (good for children.) There's something for everybody! Herbs are nothing to be afraid of. They're Mother Earth's way of keeping our bodies healthy as nature intended. 🌊 #valencia #spain #espana #mediterranean #mediterraneansea #ocean #beach #water #bluesky #blueskies #travel #travelpics #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travelgram #traveling #travelphotography #travelbug #travelvideo #wanderlust #wanderer #traveltheworld #discovertheworld #live #livelife

Now Tea Tree Oil is a must-have for any herbal first aid kit. It is used to treat all kinds of infections especially fungal infections effecting the hair, skin, and nails.
Currently, I add Tea Tree oil to all my DIY lotions and hair spritz for the antiseptic properties. Which also an makes it an excellent ingredient for cleaning products. I also use it in my diffuser blended with other oils. Here is an extended list of its benefits:
