Asthma Relief
by Mrs. Adams
December 2009
For severe congestion in the lungs, boil one or two large onions, a little garlic, and cinnamon, sage, caraway seeds (dilators). Let it get to the piping hot boiling stage! Salt will help it get hotter faster.
Breathe the vapors for 10-20 minutes...You can do this by taking the pot off the stove, and position your head over the steam (CAREFUL!) then drape a towel over your head.
I do this with my asthmatic daughter. Afterwards I percussion her back, and send her to bed with a nice herbal tea sweetened with a large amount of honey (to loosen the phlegm). It really helps.

Did You Know?
Daily sprinkling a little Cayenne powder on the toothpaste on your toothbrush can work miracles in fighting and preventing gum disease. That's right! It will also help deal with other oral ailments that plague many folks these days. After reading about this, we just had to try it. There is a warm sensation in your mouth as you brush your teeth, but it soon disappears after rinsing. As always, whenever using Cayenne powder, you should start with very small amounts to allow the body some time to build up a tolerance. The first few times we used it, we sprinkled so little of the powder on the toothpaste that we didn't feel anything. As the days progressed, we increased the amounts slightly until we felt it was warm enough. After using it for a little while, the nice feeling in your mouth is very satisfying. Be warned, however, that you do not want to overdo this one, so start small.
