GREEN GUNK

 is really very simple. Throw handfuls of the following in blender or food processor:yarrow leaves, comfrey leaves, plantain leaves, couple sprigs rosemary, scraping of one aloe leaf, and a dropper of tea tree oil. You can also add St. John's Wort (a good topical anti-viral), chickweed, calendula petals and/or elderflowers.
For a tincture, put the mess in either glycerine or alcohol and let sit for about six weeks - strain and rebottle.
For ointment, heat vegetable shortening just to the melting point - all the mess and let cook at low temp for about 1/2 hour. Put in a jar and let sit for six weeks. Melt, strain, add enough bees' wax to make it firm, and pour into small jars.
For astringent, add to Witch Hazel and yata yata yata.
For poultices, spoon into ice cube tray, freeze solid and turn out into baggies. Keep it in the freezer until needed, and you'll have handy use size amounts.
You can play with it -- add what you like best if you have favorite herbs. I keep a jar of the salve in my first aid kit for hikes and campouts.
 

Hangover remedy
Taken from The Green Witch, A Modern Womans Herbal by Barbara Grigg
The reason why those proprietary fizzy drinks help with the agony of a hangover is because there are alkalizing, and you are in a very acid state 'the morning after'. There are, however, other approaches. Michael van Straten - a naturopath with a kindly view of human frailty - tells me of the Garlic cure they resorted to after Bacchanalian orgies in Ancient Rome. Peel all the cloves in a fine fat head of Garlic, and put them in a Pan with 300ml/1/2 pint of red wine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and share with your hungover partner. This is not the hair of the dog: the alcohol goes up in steam; the remaing tannins, plus miracle working Garlic, do the trick.
A Macrobiotic remedy is to soak an Umeboshi plum - very alkalizing indeed - in hot water or Bancha Tea for 5 minutes. Then sip the water or tea and eat the plum.
An infusion of Lavender tops and blossoms can help in a number of ways; it will clam that frightening throbbing, soothe the digestive system, assist the liver to cope, and generally boost the jaded system and the lowered spirits. Oil of Evening Primrose is extremely effective at forestalling hangover if you take 4-6 capsules before you go to bed. Better still, take 4 before you go out, and more at the evening's end. They will not be quite as effective taken the next morning, but will still help undo quite a lot of the damage.
 

How to cure a hangover
First have the person you are going to heal lay down and get into a comfortable position. While performing this healing technique, you might find it very useful to listen to some soothing music, such as Enya. Next place your right hand on their forehead. Feel their negative energy being pulled out of them. Visualize a yellow light coming from your hand and shining into their aura taking the place of their negative energies. After you are finished, be sure to place your hands on the ground to get rid of any excess energy. This may be repeated, if necessary.
