creams

[Ravenstar]

My cousins friend is Wicca and she made a cream for her fore a cold sore. Anyway, she put it on and the next day it was complete gone. I've always wondered what that was. I would love to do stuff like that. What subjects would I look under to find out more? Thanks. Blessings.

Well, with what I know of, you could look into herbal remedies but you'd want to have a good grasp of what does what and what is toxic because herbs/plants CAN kill. I'm sure it's common knowledge, but I still want to add the disclaimer. Haha.

You can also look into some essential oil remedies, because aromatherapy oils CAN be applied with lotions but you'd again need to make sure that what you're using isn't toxic if it gets into your system somehow.

Whatever else is in it probably has camphor and some sort
of strong healing herb...
Can you find out what's in it ???
I would imagine a lot of us here have need for it !
My Mom always said they show up when there's a
disturbance in the belly...and what I know will
calm the gut is Ginger root...but that's different !
I'll be waiting on baited breath !

I have an old recipe for what was know as "stomach water" from the 15th-16th century. It acts as a cold and flu relief if you do not wish to use things like Day-quil. Works quite well actually. I also use an organic Apple Cider vinegar mixture when I feel a cold coming on which works well in tandem with the stomach water syrup. Shortens the length and can prevent.

I'd like to know what that salve is your cousins friend used. Must work well for cuts too.

Im completing an herbalist certification and Im learning so much about herbs. Id check out the herb section on this forum for some ideas. Just be careful what herbs you use, some are toxic.

Ive been making my own salves, tinctures etc. Its fun and great to share.
