Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

What's your opinion on some of these self remedy books and can or would you recommend a good book to me? Thanks!

Answer
Don't bother purchasing books. There is so much information for free online. www.naturalnews.com and www.mercola.com are excellent, trustworthy sources. Byron Richards has a good site too, but I don't know what the URL is. If you type his name into a browser it will come up. It's Health and Wellness Resources, I think.

Lavender Tincture for Stress Reduction

Here is a sweet little tincture to use for stress reduction and to aid sleeping. Harvest time is almost here and lavender plants are just finishing their bloom. If you do not have a plant, visit your local nursery or a friend that is a grower.

You will need

» 5 medium stalks of fresh lavender
» ¾ cup of 90 proof vodka or other clear low-odor 90 proof drinking alcohol

Chop the lavender into ¼ inch strips and gently "bruise" the plant by "hammering" gently wit your fist on a wood cutting board (a mortar and pestle for you pro's). Put the alcohol in an amber or dark glass bottle, then stuff in the cut and bruised lavender. Place the cap on the bottle and shake vigorously for 2 minutes. Set in a cool, dark place for 6 weeks (shake for a minute or so 1 time a week). Strain the tincture from the plant pieces remaining, and then store in a cool dark place. Shelf life is approx. 1 year.

To use: Drop a few drops on your temples or dab on a hankie and place under your pillowcase between your pillow and your pillowcase for sweet dreams.
