Tea-riffic Pink Eye Remedy

by Julana

June 2008

Pink eye is pretty scary to a lot of people. It jumps from one person to the next very quickly. It's actually just a cold in the eye.

A GREAT way to get rid of this is by using chamomile tea bags. Soak and place on eye for a few minutes. If you have small children who won't sit still, just soak a tea bag and use a wet cotton ball every 10-15 min. to wipe the infected eye. Usually clears up within 24 hours.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I ordered from you recently, and I received my shipment in an astounding amount of time. Quick to arrive, great on price, and now I am equipped for any needs my family might have. I have already had to doctor my husband a couple of times when he woke up with a sinus infection. He was so impressed that the crazy tea I made him actually "worked", and now he is a believer in "God made" medicine. I am gaining so much valuable information from the books you sell, and my family is having fun all the while! We will be starting our tinctures soon. I look forward to ordering more in the future and to recommending your store. Keep up the good work!

Did You Know?

Cayenne powder has been used by researchers in Antarctica to help them bear the extremely cold temperatures. The cayenne powder is sprinkled into their boots before putting them on. As the powder slowly comes in contact with the skin through the socks, it will draw blood to the feet, thus bringing much needed warms to the extremities. The one draw back is the red powder stains light colored socks. From our readings, it seems the stained socks were a small price to pay for the great benefit of being able to feel your toes after a little while out in the blistering cold! After trying this on a number of occasions during the winter near Lake Superior, I'm also convinced the stained socks are worth it.
