Health/Beauty Recipes
Tips from a Georgia Student in the medical/health field...
Control Cholesterol
Make a mix of 4 cups of apple juice, 3 cups of white grape juice and 1/2
cup of apple cider vinegar. Drink 3/4 cup of mix every morning.
Basil Poultice
Add two level teaspoons of dried, ground basil to two cups of hot water.
Allow to infuse for 15 minutes and strain. Add two tablespoons of cold witch
hazel to strained water. Pop in the fridge. When required, soak two pieces
of muslin in water and apply to forehead and back of neck.
Ginger and Chive Sinus Tea
Place three tablespoons finely chopped chives and one teaspoon of finely
shredded ginger root in two cups of boiling water. Cover and steep for 10
minutes. Strain and allow to cool as you would a cup of tea. Best if drank
while lukewarm. Headaches caused by sinus congestion may find relief by
using this tea regularly.
Cucumber Lip Softener
The skin of the cucumber contains fats and oil. Wash and dry cucumber. Pucker
lips as if you are just about to apply lip balm or lipstick. Run the surface
of the cucumber back and forth along the lips. You will be surprised at
the difference.
Cold, Fever and Flu Toddy
Place three cups water, two small cinnamon sticks, couple of cloves in a
saucepan, gently bring to boil, turn down heat, simmer for approximately
five minutes. Remove from heat. Discard cinnamon sticks and cloves, add
juice of half a lemon and 1 1/2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses and two
capfuls of whisky. Mix thoroughly. Cover and allow ingredients to brew for
at least 20. Decant into clean bottle or jam jar. Take 1/2 cup every four
hours (makes 500mls).
