Spices and Herbs

 For the Worth of it

For most of us to think of food, we will readily reflect upon a piece of chicken, steak, or some type of protein source before we would say I want a spice or an herb to compliment our meal.  However, my dear friend, simply put; we all have a tendency to follow the market more than we will lead.  With that said, the marketplace does not lead us to think of spices and herbs when it's time to eat, so we don't readily give any thought to herbs or spices.  

Mama Jean's  HolisticFarmacy has recently concluded that before we think of meat in the physical form as we've always done; let's start thinking about our health by including spices and herbs, first.  Before changing our diets, we must consider that we were designed by a Higher Power who destined each of us to live a long life, enjoy good health,  live in happiness;  That expressly includes how we use food.  One thing, in particular, is this:  

Genesis 1:29 
kjv

And God said,  "Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which has fruit yielding seed, to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creeps upon the earth; wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:  And it was so,,,.  

The previous Biblical statements; simply, tend to mean that we somehow have started doing something other than what The Heavenly Father said.  The more painstaking the work we have employed of the Holy Writ: Just maybe, there could be another message to take hold of.  Start to learn what the true value is of herbs and spices for the health of our body' and for God's Sake; Seek and you shall find Good Natural Health.

Four -Thieves Vinegar

  

four thieves vinegar: myths & history

four thieves vinegar: ancient remedy, modern uses

While this garden remedy may or may not have helped grave robbers and thieves to stave off the plague that ravaged Europe centuries ago, it seems modern herbalists and gardeners have revived the interest in this garden remedy. Many herbalists use it as a cleansing agent – transferring it to a spray bottle and using it to clean and sterilize kitchen counters or bathrooms; indeed, many of the herbs posess strong antimicrobial effects and vinegar, in any case, makes an excellent natural cleanser. Others recommend using Four Thieves Vinegar in personal care, diluted with water of course, as a cleansing agent for the skin or as an astringent. Among neo-Pagan circles, Four Thieves Vinegar is thought to have protective qualities and some swear that if you dress your doorstep with the vinegar, it’ll keep your enemies away.
