miracle-plants-1.jpgIn nature there are plants owned by a miracle which man draws for therapeutic purposes. There are many physical and psychological disorders that man can solve thanks to the virtues of flowers, leaves, buds, seeds, roots. I know our ancestors and in more recent times of our grandmothers. The herbal medicine can be for many of us the solution to health problems more or less serious especially if combined with classical medicine, but in fact many medical practitioners who want to integrate with traditional therapies and herbal teas herbal syrups. We can exploit the properties of herbs through parent dye (TM), – found in all herbalists – infusions, decoctions, infusions, poultices, or even essential oils. But with regard to dye and not help but we must take the quantity of drops prescribed or recommended by our herbalist of trust, in terms of the debate infusion / decoction / infusion / cataplasm should do some ‘clarity.

Having identified the part of the plant containing the active ingredients that made the drug and dry – but in the herbal medicine is ready for use – there sure on how to prepare. There are drugs, in fact, suitable for the preparation of an infusion: we boil water and pour immediately on drugs, it covers and the rest is done for about ten minutes before being sucked through the filter. More drugs when mixed, the term should be replaced by infusion of herbal tea. Others are added to water to boil and boil done – always with lid! - For about twenty minutes before being filtered: we are talking about the decoction. Cataplasm the other hand consists in the application of the plant directly to the skin in ways that vary from case to case and that we will see together.
Prepared kettles, sieves, especially tea and choose a good herbalist!

warm-bath.jpgWhen we cooled ourselves often avoid bathing or showering: wrong! First of all, because hygiene is important to eradicate the bacteria and then the bath may be an opportunity to actually intervene and resolve the problem with the help of aromatherapy. Just about a recipe I found in a miraculous book of the series Essential Oils, Aromas health.

Prepare a mixture by dissolving in hot bath with a tablespoon of baking soda, one of green clay, one of honey, 3 drops of essential oil of eucalyptus, 2 of thyme, 10 of tea tree, lemon 10. If we have a lot of phlegm and the cold is at an advanced stage, replace the tea tree with hyssop that is expectorant. Let us follow a massage based on a few drops of essential oil of eucalyptus, thyme and mint. We conclude treatment with a mauve infused with a long and restful sleep.
