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?
After childbirth, a mama's body is gearing up for breastfeeding. It also begins a cleansing process as chemicals, hormones, and nutrients are all adjusting to proper levels as before the pregnancy. The liver, kidneys, colon, etc. are all very involved in this cleansing. Herbs that aid in this process are known as liver cleansers and as blood purifiers. Amazingly enough, many of the liver cleansers and blood purifiers also promote milk production. Some of these herbs are: Fennel, Fenugreek, Blessed Thistle, and Dandelion. Most of us may not see the relation between breastfeeding and cleansing. However, God provided the herbs that aid the new mother to get both jobs done. The Mama's Milk Tea recipe was contributed by one of our readers, and includes herbs for after birth.
