In addition to the onion poultice, my grandmother used to – to hide from my mother when it was possible – in connection with nasal congestion or persistent cough, apply on his adored granddaughter a seemingly bizarre but in fact very effective. And the confirmation came to me years later when I discovered “the miracle recipe for grandma’s socks’ in books on the work of renowned scholars, practitioners, but not all.
We start with a warm foot bath, dry your feet carefully, wear a pair of cotton socks before immersed in cold water but well-wringing, then wear a pair of wool socks. The most effective – as it may seem absurd – it reaches going to bed and giving a refreshing rest.
To increase the benefits of foot bath add a few drops of essential oil, preferably Eucalyptus or peppermint, if the cough is persistent and prevents sleep opt for the lavender that is soothing.
Let me know if you decide to try it and what are the results or if you think the idea absurd and unthinkable!

With spring arriving lice, fleas and various parasites. We are ready to give them battle? In the post today I take inspiration from the book Living by nature of Scheherazade Goldsmith – buy it it’s fantastic!-Together with you and I encounter in the implementation of a flea collar for my puppy.
What do we need? A collar made of fabric, preferably soft, which was not treated in any way, by immersing in a natural solution based on: two teaspoons of pure alcohol, a tablespoon of rosemary essential oil, a tablespoon of essential oil Cedrino, a spoon of lavender essential oil, a tablespoon of essential oil of pennyroyal, l ‘oil 4 garlic capsules. Let the collar is infused with the pesticide properties of these oils. I reported faithfully the text of the recipe above but if you lack one or more ingredients on the list, do not be discouraged, but try to replace them with the 0il of bay leaves and / or geranium. The pure alcohol and garlic, however, are irreplaceable but for garlic instead opened the capsules and extract the oil, you can boil 4 / 5 cloves of garlic and add the decoction to the mixture. Hold the collar in draft for at least an hour and for a month or so.
Now we know how to make a flea collar is absolutely not harmful to the health of our animal and especially of its owners, primarily children.
