Time to think about your garden!

Yes, for sure, it’s still very much winter!  Snow is up to the windowsills; ice is on the windshield.  All true…BUT!  Seed catalogs are coming in the mailbox soon to those lucky gardeners who happen to be on the mailing list of Johnny’s Seeds of Maine or American Meadows…

Take out a paper and pencil and listen tomorrow; begin to think about your gardens!  Now is the time to begin “planning the planting!”

I look forward to sharing with you the joy of planning your EASY-TO-DO herb gardens tomorrow on magnificatmedia.com/mysticalroseherbals.com at 7:30 a.m.; 2:00 p.m.; 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. EST.

Join us!

Looking FORWARD to spring … we are halfway there!

Happy gardening!

Wishing You All A Very Merry Christmas!

~ With blessings and the peace that come from Heavenly love!
“For God so loved the world that He sent His only-begotten Son”
From the Canticle of Zechariah:
In the tender compassion of our Lord
The dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
And the shadow of death,
And to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Wishing you the Merriest of Christmases and a happy and healthy New Year,

Got a Cold? Here’s Why To Use Plant Medicine

Hello Friends,

The first winter colds of the season are underway with a vengeance!  Coughs, sore throats, fevers … what to do?  

You want your child, spouse or yourself to feel better as soon as possible!  You want to alleviate suffering!  What’s the best way?

Should you trust the laboratories who produce OTC cold relief?  After all, they must know what they are doing, right?

Think twice!  

OTC medicines are synthetically-produced from chemicals that are formulated in a lab.  Virtually all synthetically-produced medications cause the liver to be over-worked.  Anything that is ingested into the body that is not the same chemical makeup as the human body causes the liver to have to filter out what it doesn’t recognize.  It considers these toxic,  thereby causing stress to a liver that is already working overtime to rid your body of the illness that you are dealing with.

Using plant-based medicines (herbal extractions), that give relief naturally,  and that help your body to actually heal instead of temporarily covering up the symptoms is a better choice of attack!

Would you like to learn more?  Join us tomorrow and I’ll explain it in more detail.  Tune in to  www.magnificatmedia.com/RADIO   LISTEN LIVE at 7:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. EST to catch the show.  Be sure to adjust the time accordingly as you move away from the Eastern Standard Time zone.

Our herbal face & beauty products keep your skin soft and supple during the dry winter months.  Check out our selection at http://www.mysticalroseherbals.com/store/lemon-lift-dead-sea-salt-exfoliating-scrub/

I look forward to sharing with you tomorrow!

In good health and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!!

An Herb Book for Kids!!

You might have received an e-mail a few days ago announcing the publication of my new book, “The Magic of Plants – An Herbal Study Guide for Kids”.  

On tomorrow’s radio show  I’ll tell you what’s in this terrific book (I admit, I’m a little excited about it!).  It’s designed to easily introduce your child into the wonderful world of using plants for healing.  “The Magic of Plants” is chock-full of bright, colorful pictures and is printed on high-quality paper that is designed to last  (yearbook-quality, heavy-duty paper).

This book makes takes you on a step-by-step journey.  Your child goes from knowing nothing about the healing properties of herbs to feeling confident enough to identify some basic and safe medicinal herbs that grow in his or her own backyard and by the end of the book will be using these herbs to make teas, a healing salve and more!

Take a look at the Table of Contents: 

This new book can be used by “kids” from 8 to 80!!

This one-of-a-kind-take-outside, write-in and make-it-yours introduction to the study of medicinal plants makes it super-easy and fun for kids to learn the basics of how plants can be used for healing.  It’ll plant the seeds of a new respect for nature and it is sure to get your child itching to get outside and scavenge for “weeds”.  It could be the beginning of a life-long dedication to herbal healing!

60 colorful pages of kid-friendly instruction, “The Magic of Plants” is printed on extremely sturdy, high-quality paper stock that will last for years.  It is meant to be taken outside and used to compare & collect plants while learning to spot the differences between similar-looking plants, some of which are very subtle.  Check out the Table of Contents below to get an idea of what your child will be learning.

And then, after your big meal, instead of heading to the couch for a nap or football, take a walk together!  We discuss how these little things that begin as a fun idea turn into small but precious family traditions and memories that, all knit together, help to form a “tribe” for the family to always be able to come to and count on, no matter where they go or what they end up doing in their lives.

We hope you’ll join us!  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Did you get BURNED?! Herbs to the rescue!!

Here in the Berkshires everything is brown and dreary-looking.  The gardens are all cut back and ready for winter — and it’s getting cooooold!!  But anticipation is building as the turkey takes up too much room in the fridge, while it awaits its Thursday debut as the Central Feature on the table to feed family and friends.  I’m getting out my grandmother’s recipe for homemade cranberry-nut bread.  Let’s hope that, with all this cooking and baking that nobody gets burned! 

If they do – God forbid! – Mystical Rose Herbals’ Burn Ointment can come to the rescue!!

Did you see the pictures posted by Mystical Rose Herbals on Instagram and Facebook last week?  The whole week was spent creating new batches of some of the supremely effective salves and creams that are unique to Mystical Rose Herbals and I let you in “behind the scenes” so you could feel the excitement as herbs are transformed into healing mediums using only ingredients found naturally in God’s earth.

On today’s radio show I will give you the background of our fabulous BURN OINTMENT – how it was inspired by a horrific burn that one of our daughters got while working with a Cappuccino machine some years ago.  The combination of herbs worked like magic and I turned the recipe into our “Burn Ointment” that is now available on our website.  You can order it here: http://www.mysticalroseherbals.com/medicinal-salves-balms/ (Scroll down for the Burn Ointment)

Towards the end of the show you’ll also hear about how much fun and how easy it is to make grape jelly — but you might already have had a sneak preview of that since I’ve been posting the pictures here all week!

Tune in this afternoon to http://www.magnificatmedia.com/broadcast/

1) Pig fat awaiting trimming
2) Trimmed fat rendering
Freshly-rendered lard from The Farm New Marlborough.com
4) Dried Comfrey – an essential herb in any skin salve
5) Burn Ointment ready for your Herbal First Aid Kit

The show airs Eastern Standard Time at 7:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on your computer.  (Move the times according to your time zone.)  Set your computer to open automatically in case you forget!
