Lavender One of my favorite herbs

 To start off I am not a doctor or in the medical field. Everything that I have written I have learned from doing my own research. Researching and learning new things especially when I find out the awesome health benefits from it makes me so intrigued to want to know more. I enjoy pouring my knowledge into helping other reach their personal goals. 

Lavender has so many benefits. There are so many different varieties of this beautiful flower. From my experience a lot of people just use lavender in their yards just for the landscaping to make their yards look beautiful. Holistically lavender can be drunk as a tea hot or cold. Lavender is great for inflammation. It has a nice flower taste that is not too strong. It is a acquired taste you either like it or you don't. I used to add sugar to it when I first started making it. However now I just make a pitcher unsweetened sometimes adding a fresh lemon to the pot when boiling. I also pair It with regular tea bags and boil them together on the stove. Dog shampoo even has lavender in it. I have purchased shampoo for my dog, and it puts her straight to sleep after her bath. I will soon be making my own version of dog shampoo. 

As I stated earlier there are many holistic uses for lavender. Lavender can be used in oils, shampoos, conditioners for hair growth. It can have a calming effect on people by changing their mood and helping them to sleep. It can also be used to treat depression, restlessness, and insomnia. It can be eaten in foods such like salads, stews and gravies. I have never tried it in my foods. It can also be used to treat wounds, scrapes and burns. I use it a lot in my products. When I go to events, I have people that come to my table looking just for my lavender products. They know exactly what they want. 

When lavender is applied to the skin in a cream it can help with skin conditions for ex. ringworms, athletic feet and acne breakouts. It also helps with pain including toothaches, toothaches and arthritis. The first time that I drunk lavender tea it took away the pain that I was having in my shoulder. From what I read you can also inhale the essential oils and should have the same effect on the body. Lavender is a great antioxidant. There are so many antioxidants. Antioxidants help your body get rid of things your body does not need. Some examples are high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes. Lavender also help those that have UDI's. I personally enjoy the smell, taste and the many benefits of this flower herb. Lavender is not to be used with women that are pregnant. As with anything try it in small doses to see how it affects your body. I have been using lavender now for about almost 2 years now.

Yes, please to ginger

Ginger grows out the ground as a root. It is related to cardamon and tumeric. The root  has so many uses. It is also an antioxidant. The skin on it is very thin. You can actually get a spoon and scrap the skin off. You can use a knife but that will remove too much of the actual ginger itself. Once you have peeled the ginger it is ready to be used. Ginger is very stringy. Meaning it has a lot of strings in it if you trying grating it up. There are numerous uses for ginger. It can be boiled as a tea, it can be used for hair growth, it can be used as a seasoning on meats and vegetables, it can be used in desserts. Also it is great in drinks and smoothies. At the same time it can be drunk if you have indigestion or heart burn instead of buying over the counter medicine.  I have seen and tasted ginger candy. I am not a fan of the candy. It is good if a person is suffering from nausea or upset stomach. The root can boost a persons immune system. It is great if you feel a cold/flu...

Remedies In the Kitchen

 There are so many spices/herbs in the kitchen that can improve a persons health. I am not in the medical field of work. The information that I post here is from doing my own personal research.  Cinnamon for example is a very good spice. It is one of the many antioxidants. Anti oxidants get the germs that we don't need out of our bodies. Most people use cinnamon in yams, sweet potato pies, tea or coffee for flavor. Cinnamon can also be used to lower a person's blood pressure or A1C level if you are a diabetic. We have to be careful with the cinnamon because if you take too much it can lower the level too much. It is best to just consume 1 teaspoon then see how you feel. When taking the teaspoon don't over fill it. I personal use cinnamon sticks in my smoothie drinks. I use the powder in my yams and coffee. Cinnamon is also good as a fat burner to speed up you metabolism. Consuming way too cinnamon can give a person diarrhea.  I have seen cinnamon in the pill form in pharm...
