Let's Drink to Health!

by Shoshanna Easling

February 2011

When I was three, my family bought a piece of property and built a house right in the middle of an Amish community. My friends were Amish, and I quickly learned their way of life. One thing I found most fascinating was their daily use of herbs. They made herb teas, tinctures, broths and all kinds of herb concoctions. They would still go to the doctor for emergencies, but they took care of all of their nutritional health and well being at home. I saw them use herbs successfully on bug, spider, and snake bites, as well as on burn victims, colds, the flu, and more. When I was 5, my mom and I started our own herb garden. We started reading lots of herb books and experimenting with our own herbal concoctions. It was a running joke in our house that my mom could give you diarrhea by noon and cure you by supper. We read more books and got better at our concoctions. My mom (Doc. Deb, people started calling her) and her side kick (Me! Shoshanna) started coming up with herb tea, and tincture recipes that helped with my mom’s diabetes, my dad’s eye problem, pregnancy, sleep apnea and more. 22 years later I am still reading books, researching and working up herbal concoctions. It is cold and gray outside and almost everyone I know has some sickness right now. I am energetically healthy as I sit here writing this article. I am drinking one of my favorite teas I concocted called Double E Immune Booster. Having your health is priceless. Let’s drink to HEALTH!
