The Herbwife

Found an old Herbal at the uni library recently with some great info on Comfrey.
Also this garden lane at the Mullum Community Gardens is pure joy. I bagged myself a shopping bag of comfrey leaf to take home and dry.

This is interesting! Always thought this needed physical therapy in order to be fixed. Her course just for women looks great too.

Pregnancy causes numerous changes in the mother’s body — some beautiful and celebrated, some … not so much.

Diastasis recti is a fairly common condition experienced during or after pregnancy in which the muscles in the abdominal wall separate. Some say as many as 60% of new mothers experience this complication.

The separation can present as either an indented gap in the abdomen or a portion of the belly loosely pooched out where the muscles have separated.

Have just come across this doctor/ periodontist. And the link provides some new information which piqued my interest.

I also found his journey with cancer quite interesting. I had flashbacks to Dr Roby Mitchell who also died eventually of cancer. Both doctors went down the holistic path and gave themselves many more years, but still died of cancer in the end. They did many things right like changing their diet to whole food, but also included medical procedures like localised radiation, pharma meds, and supplements.

I wonder if they could have beaten cancer with herbal allies alongside what they were already doing? Why didn't they choose to investigate potent herbals like pau d'arco, the essiac formula, include nourishing mineral rich infusions like nettle and comfrey into their routine?

It heartens me when mainstream doctors look and find better protocols, but why not go further and investigate the power of herbals? Essiac would have been brilliant for bone marrow cancer.

The case of Dr Danenburg both heartens me, that medical doctors are finally thinking outside the box, but annoys me because they still have a long way to go.

Another unique Irish culinary invention , that I mentioned in an earlier post ,is buttered eggs, a unique and tasty way to preserve eggs.

Invented in time immemorial , probably due to the proliferation of butter on the island, the Irish developed this way to preserve eggs. It became so popular that exportation of buttered eggs to England numbered in the tens of thousands of dozens every year during the English colonial times .
Rubbed over freshly laid eggs the butter will melt forming a thin protective layering

Because the shell is porous, it absorbs the butter to form a more protective seal. Curious, I took one home. Soft-boiled, it tasted fresh from the hen, the yolk the color of sunshine, the white carrying with it a whiff of cream. Today buttered eggs are a delicacy, largely vanished from Irish farmyards and pantries. You can't butter eggs by machine, as it’s an intimate practice involving the hand . Every one needs to be done by hand. Farmers' wives used to say it was a task most difficult to execute in winter, when the butter was harder and their hands were colder. So perhaps in addition to the egg and the butter, what I taste is the memory of an Irish woman whose palm coaxed butter lovingly all the way around a fragile shell, hoping to preserve it for as long as she could.

That might seem counterintuitive. Why waste butter on the outside of an egg? But clever Irish farmers had hit on buttering eggs as a way to preserve them during winters, when hens produce less. Taking freshly-laid, still-warm eggs, farm families rolled them in their buttery palms. The butter helped solidify the hot, brittle shells, sealing off the yolky contents from the outside air.

Buttered eggs take on a shiny gleam. And, as an added bonus, the taste of butter permeates the egg, making it even richer when cracked opened and cooked. Eggs preserved this way keep for up to six months in a cool place and I have had them last even longer . It’s not surprising that buttered eggs were a Cork specialty, seeing as it’s also home to the Cork Butter Museum, a tribute to the region’s status as a butter-producing powerhouse.

They can be found at markets in Ireland and I make them regularly as a homestead speciality. If you keep chickens or know someone local who does , then you can too !

Kvass wasn’t always held in the esteem that it is today: possibly appearing as early as 10th century Poland, kvass was typically served among peasants and the lower class before nobles later recognized its healing qualities. In fact, the Russian expression “to live from hand to mouth” refers to the practice of peasants making kvass from stale leftovers of rye bread. Beet kvass, while being a great liver support, is also rich in immune-system supporting probiotics, like Lactobacillus Casei, which is helpful for digestive regulation.

Try a zeolite powder and oatmeal bath bag for a deeply cleansing, beautifying bath soak.

You will need:
15 cm square calico
2 teaspoons zeolite powder
3 teaspoons raw oatmeal
3 teaspoons dried herbs or flowers
A few drops of essential oil
A length of ribbon, raffia or string long enough to
loop around the tap spout.

Place the dry ingredients onto the square of unbleached calico then sprinkle the essential oil on top. Tie the bag with raffia. Place the bath bag in a cup of very hot water and let it soak for about 20 minutes then add the bag and the soaking water to the bath. Squeeze the bag often and rub it all over your body.

Rosemary Tea Instead of Coffee? Yes! - East West School of Planetary Herbology   Many of you may already know about the traditional dandelion and chicory “coffee” combination, but are you aware of rosemary “coffee”?

What is Osteodouce? and why it is unique.
Personal hypotheses and deductions of Osteodouce by Karen Clark.

Osteodouce = Gentle Osteopathy. Energy Healing. Physical Healing via energetic Scalar and Electromagnetic waves. Quantum Healing. 5D Healing.

Scalar waves occur naturally in nature. They are predominant in rainforests and deep-sea oceans. Electro-magnetic energy also permeates the Earth. Tesla was onto it, as well as many inventors creating free energy devices. There are now also cutting-edge technologies incorporating scalar and electromagnetic healing devices with accompanying scientific case studies (and an exorbitant price tag). You can also connect with scalar and electro-magnetic energy through allowing yourself to be in a state of unconditional love.

Jacky Roux, the French Osteopath who discovered/developed Osteodouce, said the best way to connect to Unconditional Love is to imagine holding a baby, or small child. For me, I imagined holding my two kids while they slept in my arms. Unconditional love for me is the love of the Mother. Maternal love. Mother Nature is based on the energy of Unconditional Love. Everyone, male or female can tap into the energy of the Great Mother. Which means, anyone can learn how to do Osteodouce.

Osteodouce involves learning how to sense energy through your fingers/fingertips. As an Osteopathy student, palpation is also sensed through your fingers and fingertips. Your fingertips have densely packed light touch sensory neurons. However, palpation is a skill which takes time and many hours of practice to hone and develop. As an Osteodouce therapist, you not only feel the energy of the anatomy of the person you are working on, but the ‘movement of life’, the lemniscate, the toroidal movement which permeates all organic beings. It feels like two opposing magnets in your hands/fingertips.

Osteodouce is not a typical ‘new age’ energy modality. It is not giving out your own energy, or exchanging energies from your clients. You don’t need to ground yourself afterwards, or set up protection shields. It is based on Observation/Focus. In this way it is aligned more with the quantum ideas of physics and consciousness. At the start of learning Osteodouce, holding your concentration and focus for long periods of time can be exhausting, but with practice, this exhaustion is short lived, and one can see many clients a day easily.

The therapists are themselves being bathed in the same scalar and electro-magnetic energies of which the clients are. The therapist's health improves as a byproduct of practicing Osteodouce. The therapist is like a magnifying glass, a lens through which energy passes. It goes to where the therapist gives their attention - be it a bone, ligament, muscle, fascia, tissue cells, organs or even cellular organelles like mitochondria. The therapist merely observes, not using their will or energy to make changes. They observe, and in some cases, gently cheer from the sidelines to the body parts they are focusing on, until they come back into harmonisation.

Osteodouce requires knowledge of basic anatomy. A great Osteodouce therapist will be an expert in anatomy and physiology as well as the interlinking of emotional and spiritual connections to the body. The more the therapist understands the workings of the mind/body/spirit, the more precise they can be with the treatment, and the better the results.

The therapy works best when the client is relaxed and in a meditative state, with their eyes closed. Just like a mobile phone recharges better and faster when it is switched off, so too, with the human body, it is able to rejuvenate and move into harmony much faster when all excess senses are switched off. Many clients receive the full benefit of a session after a good night's sleep. Many clients actually fall asleep during sessions, as the energy is deeply restorative.

Here Are the Top 5 Health Benefits of Honey - Chris Kresser Raw, natural honey can decrease inflammation, improve heart health, and even prevent chronic disease. Find out more about the health benefits of honey.

While we hear of the benefits of fish-oil, the real health superstar is cod-liver oil.

Cod-liver oil was a tradition for a reason. It fortifies our bones and teeth.

The fish oils we receive today are far less potent than cod-liver oil

Regular fish oil is extracted from the tissue of oily fish like tuna, herring, anchovies and mackerel, while cod liver oil is extracted from the livers of cod.

The liver is rich in fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A and D, which give it an impressive nutrient profile.

One teaspoon (5 ml) of cod liver oil provides the following:

Vitamin A: 90% of the RDI
Vitamin D: 113% of the RDI
There are many stories of mothers forcing their children to take cod liver oil.

Centuries ago, northern Europeans used cod liver oil to protect them from the cold. It was made from the livers of Gadus morhua and other species of cod. Cod liver oil was said to relieve such complaints as rheumatism, aching joints, and stiff muscles.

At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists established that cod liver oil was antirachitic, and it became commonplace for mothers to give it to their children.

It turns out cod liver oil contains large amounts of vitamins A, D, and omega-3 fatty acids, and the health benefits may go beyond rheumatism and rickets.

Vitamin A is essential for the immune system, bone growth, night vision, cellular growth, testicular and ovarian function. Pharmaceutical preparations are used to treat cystic acne and other skin conditions.

In one study in 3,502 people aged 55 and over, researchers found that people who consumed the most vitamin A had a much lower risk of glaucoma than those who ate the least vitamin A.

Vitamin D not only prevents rickets but is also important for muscle function and may prevent type 1 diabetes, hypertension, and many common cancers

Getting enough vitamin D from foods and supplements like cod liver oil is especially important for people who live far from the equator, a their skin doesn’t get enough sunlight to synthesize vitamin D for up to six months of the year

Did your Grandmother hand out cod-liver oil?

Welcome to my page! I will be posting updates on my own healing and experiences with my family and friends (with permission of course!), as well as articles and links relating to Osteodouce, whether they be esoteric, scientific, peer reviewed studies or anecdotal stories.

Please check out my About section for more information on me, Karen Clark, as well as how Osteodouce works.

Explaining the "Hospitalization Paradox" How a negative PCR test can serve as a marker for systemic inflammation and spike protein toxicity, creating a widely exploited statistical anomaly to make misleading claims about hospitalization.

Over the last 3 months I have been learning and practicing an energetic version of Osteopathy called Osteodouce. The course ran for 8 weeks, with intensive 2-3 hours live teaching at a time. I have been practicing regularly and am really starting to hone into the technique.
It is gentle yet powerful. I have been using this technique on myself, my family and fellow students with great results.
As my studies with traditional Osteopathy slow down due to mandates interfering with Uni classes, I would like to continue to develop and build my Osteodouce practice.
Therefore I invite you all to check out my website, and extend the free sessions to everyone on this page.

In good health,
Karen.
