No matter what calls to you, you will feel empowered to support your health and the health of others. The Mints and Herbal Tea I Often welcome people to my home with a cup of mint tea or, in the summer months, a mint cooler. I encourage you to start this chapter with a cup of mint tea in hand-and maybe even plant some mint in that pot on the porch. For those new to herbs, mints are a great place to start. The mints have many fans, as theyu2019re easy to grow. Watch them, though-they spread! Mints are also mild, so they are generally safe for just about everyone, including kids. (Those with a mint allergy aside, of course.) If youu2019re more familiar with herbs, the mints can be a nice reminder to simplify. Immunity and Remedies Immunity can be a tough concept to grasp. Itu2019s safe to say nobody has it completely figured out, even the best scientists. Herbalism is also difficult to comprehend fully, as itu2019s a holistic science-meaning itu2019s about the whole being more than any individual part, or even the sum of the parts. Perhaps this is why itu2019s so tough for an herbalist when someone tells us they have a cough and asks what to take. In herbalism, we look at the whole person, the whole picture what is going on in each part of the body, and outside the body as well. The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders Farmed and Foraged Herbal Remedies and Recipes Bug Repellents and Skin Soothers Skin is our largest and most sensitive organ itu2019s what we face the world with every day. Skin is both your armor and the cause of much frustration. A tiny itch can monopolize your thoughts, distract you from your work, cause hot spots on your animals, and keep you up at night. Thankfully, there are herbs to help. Some are common 'weeds' that surround us in the lawn and on the farm, while others are easily cultivated. And because herbs are multifaceted, they can be supportive in cases of strains, sprains, burns, bruises, and more. Allergies and Pain Allergies and pain are frustrating ailments most of us deal with at some point. Unfortunately, either can also be a chronic condition. While at first it may seem like the only thing allergies and pain have in common is the misery they bring, there is another important link. In fact, they are grouped together in this chapter because they are both caused by inflammation. In this chapter, youu2019ll find insider secrets on the deeper causes of allergies and pain and natural strategies to avoid them. Eating Herbal through the Seasons Hippocrates once said, u201cIf we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.u201d Now, how do we go about the nourishment? In the most delicious way possible, of course! If you look back through history at the diets of people around the globe, they naturally ate what was growing around them during each season. Coincidentally or not, those foods were often perfectly suited to relieve symptoms experienced during those times of the year. My favorite example is bitter greens. Herbs, water, and a large Mason jar are all you need for a batch of sun tea. You will need 1 cup (140 ml) dried herbs, cut small 1 gallon (3.8 L) water (or enough to fill your jar) Sun Tea Yield Makes 1 gallon (3.8 L) This is the most energy-efficient way to make tea, but itu2019s slower than a hot infusion or decoction. Just about any leaf or flower will work for this, but the best herbs for making sun tea are those that extract easily-especially those high in tannins. Mints are great for sun tea! Note that the harder parts of herbs, such as twigs, bark, and dried berries, will likely not extract well with the sun tea method. Pour your herbs into a glass jar. You can place the herbs in a cloth bag or use a paper filter to prevent the spout from clogging, but make sure the herbs have enough room to expand and are not tightly packed. Slowly pour in the water until it reaches the top of the container. Give the mixture a good stir. Cover your container and place it in the sun. Wait 3 to 4 hours. The stronger the sunlight, the quicker the mixture will infuse to your taste. If youu2019re going to infuse the herbs longer than this, do it in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth.<br>
