Herbs

Before you start to use herbs. You should study on them, There are a lot of herbs that can be very harmful as well as helpful. Sage is one of these herbs, if you eat to much Sage it can become toxic. Garlic can make you sick if you do not dry it properly. These are just a couple.

The only reason I know this is because, I have been studying on herbs for the last Five years. I do not take classes. I go to the library or, I buy books that I can learn about herbs. I never go by one book, Another thing is just because a herb might work for me does not mean it will work for others. I never say "oh this will work for you." I do not know, your body is different then mine.

I have two favourite herbs. one is Greek Oregano which is the strongest oregano in the world. They use to us it to sterilise operating tools. In a few places Greek Oregano tincture has been taken off the selves because of how strong it is. I grow my own Greek Oregano and us it to make my own tinctures. It is very strong herb, but it helps me with my Staph infection. The doctor tried to help me but nothing they gave me really worked. The medicine they gave me would close up the sore, but there would be a lump in its place. When I us the Oregano it closes up the sore and there is no lump, but if I stop using it the sore opens up again. My dad knew about my staph and told me to try the Greek Oregano Tincture. He had heard how good it was. Well that's what I did and it worked. I use it in my bath, as well as take five drops a day in my mouth. It has been keeping my staph under control. No matter what you take staph can not be cured, but it can be controlled in my case.

The only way you will find out if it works for you is to give it a try and see. Greek Oregano kills all types of bacteria and fungus. It also helps to keep head lice away. I use it on my daughter's head, because now a days there is so much head lices in schools and

other places. Every since I have added Greek Oregano to my shampoos, my daughter has not had head lice. Even if they have had an out break in the school. Before I use Greek Oregano on her head, if they had an out break at the school she would end up with them. Once someone gets head lice you have to put poison in there hair. Which can be harmful. I hate using poison. I would rather smell like a plant and make it so head lies dislikes me instead of using poison. The other herb I like is called Lovage. This herb grows like a bush. You use its leaves. The leaves taste like celery. I use it in my stews, as well as a spice on my meats. The smell it gives off, you would think you were eating celery. I have two Lovage plants in my garden. The plants are two years old, and in the summer they are about three feet tall and about two feet wide. The Lovage plant loves Canadian winters. You do not have to start out with seed every year.

So give herbs a try, I think you will surprised to find out how much herbs can help you. The only warning I have is, make sure you check into the herb first before using it. I know that there are herbs that my Mom can not take because of medical problems. So be safe when it come to herbs and the way you use them
