Prepping for cold and flu season?

This will keep the cruds away. Take a jar any size and fill it 1/2 to 3/4 fullbof peeled raw garlic cloves. Then cover the garlic with honey. Non processed .. only raw honey works for this.   Then cap but leave it a tad loose because it needs to breath. Shake it every day for a month. It will change color and consistency. Gett a little runny.   I tighten my cap up before shaking it.    After a month it's usable but the longer it sits the better it will be . Fermented    Honey and garlic ... it will keep the cruds away!  Eat a clove with some of the honey everyday.   Oh leave about 1/4 of the jar empty so. You don't want to overfill.  

All in a day's work

Today I woke up not feeling to well, just kinda off.. tired and not as energetic as I usually am and with a hint of a UTI starting.   I thought oh heck, I'm sure I've got something here that can help me. Oregano oil in capsules just in case it is a UTI and a Oregon Grape Root infusion  as well as a stinging nettle infusion .. and since I was on a roll .. I made a wonderful oat straw infusion.   All three can be stored in the fridge and used over a couple of days.    Since I've signed up for a few events this fall I figured since it was so very hot outside that I would begin my herbal tinctures and some calendula ointment.   Itbwas to hotbto worknin the garden, so my perfect option was herbal products.  So in a day's work, I've made several tinctures, the infusions, mullein and garlic ear oil, body butter bars and calendula ointment.  I loved the smells that permeates my home and the sight of all the filled jars and the molds filled with all the goodness in them. I will be posting the items on a new page soon.  But here's a peek in the meantime.
